  • Abstract:
    The risk of being involved in a fatal crash varies considerably depending on

    specific crash characteristics, i.e., those of the driver, vehicle and

    environment. A generally accepted measure of the risk of a fatal crash is the

    ratio between the number of fatal crashes associated with a specific set of

    conditions and the amount of travel performed under the same conditions. To

    calculate risk values the appropriate values for the numerator and the

    denominator of the ratio must be available. Presently, travel data are not

    available at an adequate level of detail to permit estimating the contribution

    of any specific factor on the occurrence of a fatal crash. In the absence of

    detailed data on travel under specific conditions, the purpose of this study

    was to determine how the risk of being involved in a fatal crash, conditional

    on the occurrence of a police-reported crash, changes as a function of key

    crash characteristics. 3p.
