A -- DESIGN CONSISTENCY EVALUATION MODULE FOR THE INTERACTIVE HIGHWAY SAFETY DESIGN MODEL (IHSDM) SOL RFP No., DTFH61-95-R-00084 DUE 052295 POC Contact Lise S. Lyles, HCP-30A, (202) 366-4229 A - Design Consistency Evaluation Module for the IHSDM. The objectives of this research are to: 1) Develop and validate speed- profile models for two-lane rural highways that account for the combined effects of horizontal and vertical alignment, vehicle type, and ambient operating conditions. 2) Identify appropriate interactions between the speed-profile models developed and other components of the IHSDM. 3) Develop at least two alternative CAD- based methods (other than speed-profile analysis) for rating the design consistency of two-lane rural highways. 4) Evaluate correlations between predicted speed variations, other aggregate consistency measures, and reported accident histories for representative sections of two-lane rural highways. 5) Participate in the upgrading and demonstration of the IHSDM's Design Consistency Module. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by FHWA. The requestor's DUNS number should be included in the request. To expedite the request, please furnish two self-addressed gummed labels for each solicitation requested. The solicitation number should appear on the bottom edge of the labels. (0044)
