Abstract:Roadway safety in low-income and ethnically diverse U.S. communities has long been a major concern. This research was designed to address this issue by developing a data-driven approach and computational tools to quantify equity issues in roadway safety. This report employed data from Houston, Texas, to explore (1) the relationship between road infrastructure and communities’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and its association with traffic safety in low-income, ethnically diverse communities and (2) the type of driver behaviors and characteristics that affect crash risks in underserved communities.
