THE EFFECT OF FLOW AND SPEED CHARACTERISTICS ON CRASH RATES ON RURAL INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS

Nicholas J Garber, A A Ehrhart

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that investigated the combined effect of flow and speed characteristics on crash rates at rural interstate highways. Mathematical relationships that describe how these characteristics affect crash rates were developed and are presented. The scope of the study was limited to roadways in the state of Virginia with speed limits of 104.65 kph (65 mph). The data were obtained from speed data collected at speed monitoring stations established by the Virginia Department of Transportation and the associated crashes on those roads.
