Description
Summary:TRB's Transportation Research Record (TRR): Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2432 consists of 17 papers that evaluate a model for assessing intersection safety; the link between police and hospital road accident records; the use of structural equation modeling to measure severity of single-vehicle crashes; daily collision predictions on the basis of temporal and weather variables; the derivation of a new surrogate measure of crash severity; and spatial-proximity structures in crash prediction models at the level of traffic analysis zones. This issue also examines the impact of subject and opponent vehicles on crash severity in two-vehicle collisions; the effect of weather on crash severity and type by use of full Bayesian multivariate safety models; the maximum abbreviated injury scale in vehicle crashes; the identification of secondary crashes on a large-scale highway system; the use of support vector machine models for real-time prediction of crash risk on urban expressways; and advanced safety performance monitoring at signalized intersections through use of connected vehicle technology. Additionally, this TRR summarizes limiting driveway access at intersections; samples of serious injuries in traffic crashes at the state level; a geographic information system-based community-level method to evaluate the influence of the built environment on traffic crashes; patterns of single-vehicle crashes on two-lane rural highways in Granada Province, Spain; and the use of microsimulation to estimate intersection safety.
