Modeling Traffic Accidents at Signalized Intersections in the City of Norfolk, Virginia
| 项目名称： | Modeling Traffic Accidents at Signalized Intersections in the City of Norfolk, Virginia |
| 摘要： | The objective of the proposed research is to develop statistical predictive models for vehicular traffic accidents at signalized intersections in the City of Norfolk, VA. The current studies show that traffic accidents are largely caused due to traffic volume and driver actions. However, the reviewed literature indicates that intersection topography/design factors and traffic management rules may also contribute significantly to traffic accidents. A pilot study conducted in the City by Hampton University's Transportation Center in 2005-2006 showed that these factors contributed to the traffic accidents at signalized intersections. Hence, there is a need to conduct further investigation of these controllable factors that cause traffic accidents at the intersections. The proposed research will expand upon the work completed in the pilot study, in order to delineate significant controllable factors contributing to traffic accidents at signalized intersections in the City. The major deliverables from the proposed research will include the following: (1) A list of intersection topographical/design and traffic management factors which show significant correlation with the traffic accidents in the City. (2) A predictive statistical model for the traffic accident rate which would include the significant topographical/design and traffic management factors. |
