A Macro-Meso-Micro Approach for Safety Evaluation of Highway Access Management
In all kinds of safety measures, access management techniques have been proved the most successful in improving the safety and efficiency of arterial roads. The purposes of this research, therefore, were to objectively and comprehensively evaluate the highway safety from the aspect of access management. In this paper, we propose a three-layered (micro-meso-macro) framework that provides safety evaluation at different levels of details. At the macro level, system-wide goals are achieved, we considered highway safety with road functions and land-use; on meso level, safety is concerned with access distance and access types; and at macro-level, we made the consideration of safety protection designs at access points. We believe that the combination of access management at each of the levels may lead to a more efficient and sustainable use of the highway infrastructure.
