• Abstract:
  Traffic incidents can lead to driver distractions and traffic queues that can then result in subsequent or secondary crashes. A secondary crash is defined as a crash that occurs as a result of an original crash either within the crash scene or within the queue or backup in either direction. Programmatic approaches to identify and document the occurrence of secondary crashes through traffic crash reports and advanced traffic management systems are on the rise nationally. This research leveraged these data collection approaches to create a multistate dataset on secondary crashes to better understand factors surrounding the occurrence of these types of crashes through descriptive statistics and case studies.
