Heavy Vehicle Crash Rate Analysis: a Comparison of Heterogeneity Methods Using Idaho Crash Data
Studies investigating crash rates by roadway classification are few and far between and even more so if extended to focus on heavy vehicles. This study explores and compares two advanced econometric methods, random-parameter Tobit regression and latent class Tobit regression, to determine contributing factors for heavy vehicle crashes per million-vehicle-miles-traveled while accounting for the ...
متن کاملA multivariate tobit analysis of highway accident-injury-severity rates.
Relatively recent research has illustrated the potential that tobit regression has in studying factors that affect vehicle accident rates (accidents per distance traveled) on specific roadway segments. Tobit regression has been used because accident rates on specific roadway segments are continuous data that are left-censored at zero (they are censored because accidents may not be observed on a...
متن کاملEffect of repeal of the national maximum speed limit law on occurrence of crashes, injury crashes, and fatal crashes on Utah highways.
Speed limits were increased in Utah and other States after repeal of the national maximum speed limit law (NMSL) in 1995. This study analyzed effects of the increased speed limit on Utah highways on crash rates, fatality crash rates, and injury crash rates. Annual (1992-1999) rates of crashes, fatality crashes, and injury crashes for the following highway categories were calculated: urban Inter...
متن کاملPoisson Regression Analysis of Highway Fatality Accident Data in Oklahoma
Analysis of fatality automobile accident data can be challenging in rural areas where a relatively small number of such accidents occurs on specific sections of highways. Combining crash data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and highway networks and design specifications from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), this article employs Poisson regression analysis to ...
متن کاملComparison of Passenger Vehicle and Tmck Crash Rates on Toll Roads
Overall comparisons of crash rates based on mileage indicate that truck crash rates are lower than car crash rates, but that truck crashes are more severe. In 1978 the overall U.S. crash rate for cars was estimated at 8.2 accidents per million vehicle-miles of travel; for large trucks (including combinations) the rate was 4.7 per million vehicle-miles, and for combination trucks (e.g., tractor-...
