Abstract:The study examined traffic crash data obtained from the Traffic Accident Reporting and Analysis Systems Version 2.0 (TARAS2) database and pavement condition data maintained by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) in the District of Columbia. CMV crash data was specifically collected for crashes occurring on designated CMV routes between the years 2016 to 2020. Recent measurements of International Roughness Index (IRI) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) data for the years 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2021 were acquired from the DDOT to correlate the crash data with the pavement’s condition. The research team used QGIS, a robust open-source geographic information system, to effectively manage data integration and analysis.
