Highway Capacity Software 2023
The reliable software tool that faithfully implements the methodologies from the Highway Capacity Manual
Version Release
New in HSS 2024
The new version of the Highway Safety Software (HSS) is available from January 2024. The software is updated annually to improve functionality and incorporate updates from the Highway Safety Manual. Explore the latest additions and features that have been added to the new version release.
New Crash Prediction Models
HSS2024 expands its scope of analysis with several new predictive models, expected to be included in the upcoming HSM 2nd Edition.
Urban Arterial Segments – New Configurations
New segment configurations will include wider segments (six to eight lanes) and one-direction segments. These methods also include updated predictive models for intersections bounded by these new segment configurations.
New Intersection Types
New intersection types are now supported in HSS2024, including:
Empirical Bayes Analysis
For Roundabouts and Multilane Highways
Perform more accurate analyses for roundabouts and multilane highways by weighting in observed crashes through the EB method.
Integration with HCS and HSS
Streamline your studies by integrating capacity and safety analyses for freeways/highways between our software tools:
- Ability to open HCS freeway/highway files directly in HSS, automatically converting inputs between the HCM and HSM methodologies
- HSS safety results may be included in HCS highways and freeway analysis
