Study Notes
Statistical Modelling Methods in Accident Severity Analysis
- Most highway-accident studies use police crash reports for data extraction
- Injury severities assessed by police officers at crash scene: no injury, possible injury, evident injury, disabling injury, fatality
- Police-reported data include various factors like time of day, age, road conditions, and crash type
- Inaccuracies associated with police data are well-documented, including underreporting of less severe crashes
- Linking police data with government-provided roadway information can expand the dataset
- Statistical modelling methods include driver behavioral adaptation and risk compensation
- Crash frequency models aim to determine factors influencing crash frequencies for effective mitigation strategies
- Models include Poisson regression, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, gamma, and other specialized models
- Duration models are used to analyze crashes as the duration of time between incidents
- Over-dispersion occurs when variance of observed accident counts exceeds that expected under a Poisson distribution
- Negative binomial regression models address over-dispersion by allowing greater variance than the mean
- Poisson regression models estimate the probability of a roadway entity having y crashes per time period, using explanatory variables
