Characterizing Curve Crashes in Florida
The purpose of this research is to characterize the curve crashes in Florida. This research will provide the State Safety Office with the overview of curve safety performance in Florida statewide. Based on the current curve safety performance in Florida, the research will propose systemic safety analysis of characterizing curve crashes for all roads, identifying contributing factors for curve crashes, developing safety performance functions (SPFs) for curves, which can be used as a guide to prioritize the most high-risk locations for curve improvements. The application of the research will contribute to a better understanding of curve safety issues in Florida and inform transportation engineers and planners to select proper countermeasures and target resources more effectively.
