| 摘要： | Although during the past several years significant progress has been made in improving safety on U.S. highways, the frequency and severity of crashes continue to be of concern. A better understanding of the factors associated with crashes will facilitate the identification of suitable countermeasures that could further reduce the occurrence of crashes. Results are presented from a study that determines how the characteristics of speed, flow, and geometry affect the crash rates for two-lane highways. Deterministic models that relate the crash rate with the mean speed, standard deviation of speed, flow per lane, lane width, and shoulder width are presented. The multivariate ratio of polynomials method was used to develop the models. Research was limited to two-lane roadways in Virginia with speed limits of 89 km/h (55 mph). The data were obtained from speed-monitoring stations established by the Virginia Department of Transportation and from police accident reports from January 1993 to September 1995. |
