Abstract:Traffic safety engineers are among the early adopters of Bayesian statistical tools for
analyzing crash data. As in many other areas of application, empirical Bayes methods were
their first choice, perhaps because they represent an intuitively appealing, yet relatively
easy to implement alternative to purely classical approaches. With the enormous progress
in numerical methods made in recent years and with the availability of free, easy to use
software that permits implementing a fully Bayesian approach, however, there is now ample
justification to progress towards fully Bayesian analyses of crash data.
