Abstract:Traffic incidents not only greatly impact individuals, but also affect the general population. Depending on the incident severity, incidents are likely to cause both private and public property damage and possibly cause injury and fatalities. Due to both economic and humanitarian importance, maintaining roadway travel safety has aroused widespread interest in government officials, industry, and researchers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates the cost of improving safety through various law enforcement activities to be as high as $230:6 billion annually, nearly 2.3 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (Blincoe et al., 2002). Recently, a number of researchers (Steil and Parrish, 2009; Keskin et al., 2011; Lou et al., 2011; Willemse and Joubert, 2012) study the effectiveness of law enforcement plans, including how to improve patrolling plans. One way of improving patrolling efficiency is to focus on patrolling critical locations with high crash frequencies.
