Title
Identifying Intersection-Related Traffic Crashes For Accurate Safety Representation
Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the intersection safety influence area to achieve a more reliable way of identifying intersection-related accidents and accurately estimate an intersection's safety. The study was conducted throughout the S to review the way police officers, crash-record technicians, and state safety engineers identified existing intersection accidents. All the participants were asked to introduce the major factors in their crash database, which were used to determine intersection-related crashes. It was observed that 15 out of 28 respondents had used distance as a criteria to identify such crashes. Traffic control and operational features were retrieved by inspecting signal plans provided by the county traffic engineering departments. Crash data were obtained from the Florida Department of Transportation database for the selected intersections.
