Abstract:Ongoing surveillance programs on roads and
highways in the U.S. have produced large amounts
of data on many aspects of transportation.
Crash statistics are among the most important
products of these efforts as they help engineers
pinpoint collision hotspots and begin the process
of developing and implementing treatments to
reduce collisions. The treatments are monitored
for their effectiveness, which is quantified by
crash modification factors (CMFs). A CMF applies
to a specific combination of safety treatment,
highway geometry, and traffic characteristics,
such as installation of rumble strips on a rural
road near an upcoming stop sign or reconfiguration
of a turn lane to make safer the intersection of
two busy four-lane highways near a suburban mall.
