Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation (SPICE) Tool User Guide
The Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation (SPICE) Tool is intended to aid in the determination of a preferred alternative for a given intersection project by providing an objective, quantifiable basis to compare the safety performance of different intersection types. This tool may be of use to traffic safety researchers and practitioners, transportation planners and engineers, and highway and street designers. This document provides information and guidance on how to use the SPICE Tool, a macro-based, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, to assess the safety performance of a variety of intersection geometry and control scenarios in terms of predicted crash frequency and severity.



Capacity Analysis for Planning of Junctions (CAP-X) Tool User Manual
The Capacity Analysis for Planning of Junctions (CAP-X) Tool is intended to aid in the determination of a preferred alternative for a given intersection project by providing an objective, quantifiable basis to compare the operational performance of different intersection types. This tool may be of use to transportation planners, transportation engineers, and highway and street designers. This document provides information and guidance on how to use the CAP-X Tool, a macro-based, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, to assess the operational performance of a variety of intersection geometry and control scenarios in terms of volume to capacity ratio and multimodal accommodations.



DDSA Crash Tree Tool
The DDSA Crash Tree Tool allows users to generate crash tree diagrams based on the NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) or other crash datasets. Crash tree diagrams can be used as part of the systemic safety analysis process to help you identify and select the facility types where the focus crash types most frequently occur. The crash tree can have a number of different formats, depending on agency capabilities and data availability. The Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool includes additional information about the systemic safety analysis process, including examples of crash tree diagrams.
