• Abstract:
  In this research we carry out a spatial analysis of 11 years of crash data in 24 medium-sized ; California cities. The cities were selected from an initial database of over 150 California ; cities to best represent a geographically diverse collection of 12 medium-sized cities with ; good safety records and 12 with poor safety records with respect to the number of road ; fatalities per capita in the transportation system. Street network measures were combined ; with street characteristics, socioeconomic data, traffic flow information, and over 230,000 ; individual crash records geo-coded in a Geographic Information System (GIS) database. The ; analysis was conducted at the U.S. Census Block Group level of geography for over 1000 ; distinctly populated Block Groups. Statistical negative binomial regression crash models ; were estimated for three response variables: total number of total crashes, severe injury ; crashes, and fatal crashes.
