The intent of this project is to compare the effectiveness of network screening and diagnostic methods using aggregate SPFs and Test of Proportions with crash type SPFs. Both methods were applied to the same datasets containing crash history and exposure data. Sixteen (16) frequency and severity Colorado-specific crash type SPFs were developed for
