Safety evaluation of centerline rumble strips on rural two-lane undivided highways: Application of intervention time series analysis

Ahmed Hossain et al.

Summary: Centerline rumble strips are low-cost effective countermeasures installed on the center of the highway segments to reduce crashes. This study aims to explore Intervention Time Series Analysis approach as an alternative method for the safety evaluation of centerline rumble strips on rural-two-lane undivided highways in Louisiana.

Safety evaluation of centre line, edge line, and dual application rumble strips on Ontario two-lane rural roads

Bhagwant Persaud et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the safety effects of installing rumble strips on curved and tangent segments, providing Canadian-specific insights. The results show that rumble strips can be beneficial, especially when applied in combination on tangents. Edge line and dual rumble strips are more effective on curved segments, suggesting they should be prioritized for application. Dual application is found to be more safety effective overall.

Finite mixture Negative Binomial-Lindley for modeling heterogeneous crash data with many zero observations

A. S. M. Mohaiminul Islam et al.

Summary: Crash data often have characteristics such as high dispersion, numerous zero observations, and long tail, which cannot be properly modeled by the traditional Negative Binomial (NB) model. The Negative Binomial-Lindley (NB-L) model has been proposed as an alternative, and research studies have shown its superior performance in analyzing such data. Additionally, crash data are often collected from different subpopulations, and finite mixture models can be used to capture population heterogeneity. The Finite mixture NB-L model (FMNB-L) is introduced to analyze crash data from heterogeneous subpopulations with many zero observations and a long tail, and it has been found to provide a significantly better fit compared to other models.

Understanding how relationships between crash frequency and correlates vary for multilane rural highways: Estimating geographically and temporally weighted regression models

Amin Mohammadnazar et al.

Summary: SPFs are critical tools in managing highway safety projects and developing jurisdiction-specific SPFs can better predict crash frequency. Utilizing GTWR models can capture spatio-temporal heterogeneity and improve the prediction accuracy of SPF models.

Comparison of Crash Modification Factors for Engineering Treatments Estimated by Before-After Empirical Bayes and Propensity Score Matching Methods

Bo Lan et al.

Summary: This study evaluates and compares the performance of cross-sectional regression models using PS matching methods with results from EB and traditional cross-sectional methods. The results indicate that optimal PSD matching with maximum variable ratio of 5 performs well compared to the other methods.
