Abstract:In this project, we developed an integrated database to provide new analysis capabilities
for discovering correlations between roadway characteristics and the occurrence of
fatality collisions. Specifically, the aim of this data analysis project was to support the
determination of relationships between Oklahoma roadway inventory data and NHTSA
Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data. An approach had to be developed to
match location data from the two different coordinate mapping systems used in these
databases. The understanding of relationships between roadway characteristics and
fatal crashes will support highway planning decisions and improve utilization of
available resources targeting roadway safety. Initial blackspot and systematic analyses
were performed as well as analyses utilizing additional data sources.
