摘要：	The recent release of the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM) introduced a science-based safety assessment approach that can be used to help transportation professionals identify how to best enhance safety for their managed facilities. A key aspect for the success of the HSM is wide dissemination and comprehensive understanding of the techniques introduced in this important document. NCHRP initiated this outreach and training project prior to the publication of the HSM that included briefing activities as well as training materials with pilot workshops. The training materials developed for this project (NCHRP Project 17-38) are reviewed in this report; the companion CD-ROM (CRP-CD-106) includes electronic training files. The training materials summarized in this report are intended as a broad overview of the HSM format and procedures. They are not intended to comprehensively cover all facets of the various procedures included in the HSM, but rather to introduce workshop participants to the general content and methods that encompass the materials. Twelve informational modules address the HSM structure and content and include information ranging from HSM development and safety fundamentals to network screening, safety effectiveness evaluation methods, crash prediction procedures, and candidate crash modification factors. In addition to presentation slides with speaker notes, the training materials also include participant handouts, interactive sample problems, smart spreadsheets, and similar supporting documents. Since the target audience for this training is transportation professionals who are not required to have a vast knowledge of safety assessment procedures, the collection of training material includes basic introductory information as well as specific content for advanced procedures where appropriate. The report also briefly addresses the preferred expertise of the candidate instructors to enhance the learning experience for all involved parties.
