This study developed crash prediction models for Italian motorways, identifying key factors like traffic, road geometry, and wet pavement that increase accident risk on multilane roads.

Area of Science:

  • Road safety engineering
  • Traffic accident analysis
  • Statistical modeling

Background:

  • Limited research exists on crash prediction models for multilane rural roads.
  • Few studies consider variables like stopping sight distance and pavement characteristics.
  • Prior statistical approaches predominantly used Poisson and Negative Binomial regression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop crash prediction models for a four-lane Italian motorway.
  • To identify significant factors influencing accident occurrence on tangents and curves.
  • To assess the impact of environmental factors, specifically wet pavement, on crash frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized accident data from a 5-year period (1999-2003).
  • Applied Poisson, Negative Binomial, and Negative Multinomial regression models.

  • Estimated parameters using Maximum Likelihood Method and Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test for variable selection.

    • Main Results:

    • For curves, significant predictors were length, curvature, and annual average daily traffic (AADT).
    • For tangents, significant predictors included length, AADT, and presence of junctions.
    • Wet pavement conditions were shown to significantly increase crash frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • Developed models are valuable for identifying critical safety factors on Italian motorways.
    • Models can aid in estimating accident reduction from infrastructure improvements and comparing design options.
    • This research provides a reference for designing and adjusting multilane roads.
