• 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.
