While research and empirical evidence have shown positive safety and operational benefits associated with good access management practices, it can be challenging for transportation agencies to implement access management strategies on the basis of safety performance without methods and tools to quantify the safety performance of alternatives. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 974: Application of Crash Modification Factors for Access Management, Volume 1: Practitioner's Guide presents methods to help transportation planners, designers, and traffic engineers quantify the safety impacts of access management strategies and make more informed access-related decisions on urban and suburban arterials. Supplementary to the report is the pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 974: Application of Crash Modification Factors for Access Management, Volume 2: Research Overview and a summary presentation for the two volumes.

The 1st Edition, in 2010, of the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual revolutionized the transportation engineering practice by providing crash modification factors and functions, along with methods that use safety performance functions for assessing and quantifying the safety consequences of planning, designing, and operating highway facilities. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 974: Application of Crash Modification Factors for Access Management, Volume 2: Research Overview documents the research process and presents the results of each task. Supplementary to the report is the pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 974: Application of Crash Modification Factors for Access Management, Volume 1: Practitioner's Guide and a summary presentation for the two volumes.
