SCDOT Crash Analysis Using Precisely Geocoded Crashes
摘要:
Recent research has shown that the new SCCATS has resulted in dramatically improved crash positioning that can facilitate broad-based statewide safety analysis. Currently, the SCDOT�s method for safety analysis is primarily through the Department�s Road Inventory Management System (RIMS). RIMS has extensive information, but is challenging as a primary tool for crash analysis of midblock segments. This research will use a fixed-length segmentation approach to identify the Top 500 midblock segments that have the highest crash incidents in the state. Each of the fixed length segments will be analyzed for potential counter measures using Crash Modification Factors developed in recent SCDOT research. Benefit-cost ratios will be identified for different alternatives. Research results will identify high crash patterns involving driveways and other access management issues and will be designed to work in conjunction with RIMS.
