TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new accident model based on basic systems theory concepts, which provides a theoretical foundation for the introduction of unique new types of accident analysis, hazard analysis, accident prevention strategies including new approaches to designing for safety, risk assessment techniques, and approaches to design performance monitoring and safety metrics.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed discussion of the unobserved heterogeneity in highway accident data and analysis is presented along with their strengths and weaknesses, as well as a summary of the fundamental issues and directions for future methodological work that address this problem.
TL;DR: The paper concludes that BN is a superior technique in safety analysis because of its flexible structure, allowing it to fit a wide variety of accident scenarios.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the conventional linear regression models lack the distributional property to describe adequately random, discrete, nonnegative, and typically sporadic vehicle accident events on the road, and are not appropriate to make probabilistic statements about vehicle accidents.
TL;DR: This study combines a number of databases, including a detailed database on roadside features, to analyze run-off-roadway accidents on a 96.6-km section of highway in Washington State and isolates a wide range of factors that significantly influence the frequency and severity of run-offs-roadways accidents.
