Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Engineering - Department of Civil Engineering Summary: The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides several safety performance functions (SPFs), which are used to predict the expected average crash frequency on a roadway network given the geometric features, section length, and traffic volume. The HSM was developed in the US using road and crash data specific to the environment in the US. Every state was encouraged to develop locally derived models suitable for the local characteristics of roads and crashes. The objective of this research is to assess the opportunity of adopting the HSM on rural multi-lane divided highways in Egypt. This thesis calibrated SPFs considering Egyptian road factors. The SPFs were first calibrated using the default crash modification factors (CMFs), and the results were compared with the actual crash events. The results showed the need for a further step to develop locally derived SFPs using the Poisson-Gamma regression technique. The developed models describe the mean crash frequency as a function of natural logarithm of the annual average daily traffic and segment length. Several factors were investigated including curve radii, percentage of heavy vehicles, curve length, median width, shoulder width, and curve density
