Abstract

In order to identify the segments of China's highways that may have traffic safety hazards in the design phase, reduce the traffic accident rate and improve the operational safety of vehicles. This paper constructs a safety evaluation model based on design consistency applicable to China's highways, including the operating speed prediction model and design consistency evaluation indexes. Combined with actual cases, the effectiveness of the model is verified by comparing the constructed model, IHSDM and the evaluation method of “Specifications for Highway Safety Audit”. The results show that the accuracy of the model is 42% higher compared with IHSDM, and it can effectively evaluate the design safety of China's highways. It has important theoretical and practical significance for the study of highway design safety evaluation in China.
