Description:

Traffic crashes and the associated injuries and fatalities remain a major public safety concern in Texas and across the United States. Crashes are complex events influenced by a wide range of factors related to the driver, vehicle, roadway, traffic stream, and weather. Understanding how these factors contribute to crash occurrence is essential for identifying effective safety improvements. This project focused on evaluating the impact of pavement-related factors on crash occurrence to support the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in identifying candidate sites for pavement safety improvements. Pavement surface condition factors are of particular interest to highway agencies because these factors fall directly within their control and can be addressed through maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) treatments.
