• Abstract:
  The traditional transportation safety management approach involves the identification of crash hotspots, in which public agencies prioritize locations eligible for safety improvements based on historical collision concentrations. This project presents an enhanced approach that consists of targeting systemic improvements at high-risk sites across a road network based on specific roadway features that are associated with a particular crash type.
