SPEED ANALYSIS OF ACCIDENTS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

AN ANALYSIS OF ACCIDENTS, SPEED, AND RELATED TRAFFIC PARAMETERS ON RURAL AND URBAN PORTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM IS PRESENTED IN THIS ARTICLE. THE RESEARCH WHICH WAS CONCERNED WITH SINGLE- VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ON BETWEEN-INTERCHANGE UNITS OF THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM SUBSTANTIATED EARLIER BELIEFS THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SPEED OF A VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT AND THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT IS GENERALLY DIRECT. A SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER DIFFERENCE IN SPEEDS WAS INDICATED BETWEEN TWO ACCIDENT-INVOLVED VEHICLES THAN BETWEEN TWO RANDOMLY SELECTED VEHICLES.
