Description
Summary:	This report presents guidelines on evaluating crash severity estimation models for use in different site conditions. The guidelines will be of interest to state departments of transportation (DOTs) seeking more informed model application, broader acceptance of model results and, ultimately, improved safety decision making. The guidelines could also be applied to existing crash prediction models and serve to improve pertinent models and model elements in the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) and its associated tools.
