Engineering site studies needed CE 552 Week 11 Identification of problem areas - High crash locations – critical rate method Engineering site studies needed
High Crash Location Methods Frequency Rate Severity/Cost Some combination Iowa DOT uses .2F+.2R+.6C Critical Rate Factor method Empirical Bayes Full (Heirarchical) Bayes Iowa DOT doing research on this
Critical Crash Rate Factor method Error: this should say Z, not S For derivation of equation and interpretation of terms, see link
Next step: engineering study at sites
