摘要: |
This research developed type 1 and type 2 safety performance functions (SPFs) for roadway segments, intersections and ramps on the entire Caltrans network. Type 1 SPFs involved statistical models with a length offset, and average daily traffic (ADT) while type 2 SPFs included geometrics as well. In the case of intersections, type 2 SPFs included traffic control, ADT and roadway geometrics. For ramps, type 2 SPFs included variables related to metering, HOV lane presence and ramp configuration. The research developed SPFs using data based on the period 2005-2010, and tested the SPFs on the period 2011-2012. Type 1 and type 2 SPFs were compared for predictive effectiveness, and it was found that type 2 SPFs provided for better measures of effectiveness such as mean absolute deviation, mean absolute percent error and mean squared error. |
