Installation.  Save and unpack the DemoHSA30.zip file to your hard drive.  To install the HSA Software - DEMO run  setup.exe. Follow the installation instructions. 

System Requirements. Microsoft® Windows 95/98/2000/XP/NT, 15 MB of hard drive space.
HSA Software, Version 3.0 runs with Microsoft® Access 2000 or later edition.  However, if you do not have Microsoft® Access, upon your request we will send you an installation disk that contains the HSA Software DEMO with Runtime Access 2000, which allows to run the program without the full version of the Microsoft® Access.  The HSA Software installation package also comes with the Runtime Access 2000.

Starting HSA Software. Run the HSA Software Demo from the Start Menu or double-click the HSA Demo 3.0  icon.

Running HSA Software. On the HSA Software Main Menu click the “Existing Location” button.  Then select “100test” from the dialog box and click “Open”.  The Location Information window will be displayed with the data for the selected location file.

Press “Enter Accident Data” button to review the data for the location “100test” (the data has already been entered).  You can change some of the data, and see how it would affect the output forms and Collision Diagrams. 

Use buttons on the right side of the Location Information window to open Details of Accident History Form, Accident Summary Sheet, Charts, Highway Safety Investigation Report, and Safety Benefits Evaluation Form (press F1 for help on these forms).

Open Accident Rate Calculations form.  Click “Calculate” button.  To calculate accident rate for the specific intersection set up the filter for this intersection first (using a Key Number), then open the Accident Rate Calculations form.  Select the “Intersection” option and change AADT data to the number of entering vehicles for each intersection approach.  When you use different filters, make sure that you make necessary changes in the accident rate formula (you can change AADT, time period, and segment length).  The segment length can be expressed in miles or kilometers - the units are selected on the Location Information window.

Click the “Filtering Data” button.  Check “Selected Accidents” and set Key Number = 1.  Type “Maple Avenue Intersection” in the Message box (Key Number =2 for Chestnut Road) and click “OK”.

Press the “Collision Diagram” button.  Select one of the options: “4-legged intersection”, “T-intersection”, “Segment”, or “Custom”.  To prepare a Diagram for a custom layout, an image file displaying roadway geometry should be designed (it can show several intersections, driveways, and other features) .  After the Diagram is displayed, click “Edit”. You can move, rotate, and copy accident symbols using buttons on the lower task bar.  If a Key Number is not specified, the Collision Diagram will display all accidents.  Press F1 for Help.

All forms (except Accident Data Entry Form) will use data for the selected filter(s) or all accidents.

Printing the output data forms.  Before printing the forms click  “Print Preview” at the Form menu on the window tool bar.  Make sure that a form fits to the page.  If not, click “Page Setup” to adjust page margins.  You can print out forms using letter size paper, or plot large-scale forms and Collision Diagrams for presentations. 

Getting Help.  For assistance press the “F1” button.  The help file will open for the currently displayed form or dialog box.
