The problem of interchange spacing is mostly studied from an operational perspective. The decision to build a new interchange within existing freeway spacing is determined by access needs and guidelines. The safety impact of inserting a new interchange is yet unknown although it is essential when conducting cost-benefit analysis or simply a safety assessment. In this paper, crash prediction models for interchange spacing are derived using data from California and Washington states. The models are then used to quantify the crash sensitivity to interchange spacing.

HSIS Summary Reports are two to eight pages in length and include a brief description of the issue addressed, data used, methodology applied, significant results, and practical implications.
A variety of research studies have been performed using data from HSIS. Many of the final reports prepared are now available electronically.
Research reports are often summarized in executive summaries, technical briefs, or other abbreviated formats. Included here are those road safety summaries that involved research using HSIS data.
In addition to conducting research, HSIS resources are also used to develop products that can be used by practitioners in the analysis of safety problems.
HSIS data are sometimes used in research studies that result in other types of finished products, such as dissertations, theses, and conference proceedings.
