Crash Modification Factor (CMF): Factor to compute expected number of crashes after implementing countermeasure Crash Reduction Factor (CRF): Percent fewer crashes expected given countermeasure than on similar road without countermeasure Relationship between CMF and CRF: CMF = 1 - (CRF/100) CRF = 100*(1 – CMF) CMF/CFR Clearinghouse: CMF/CRF REVIEW
May apply to all crashes, or crash specific subsets (e.g., run-off-road, night, wet weather, multi-vehicle, etc.) Same treatment in different contexts or highway types may have different effects and different CMF values Reference the research and studies on CMF clearinghouse website CMF/CRF IMPORTANT POINT
