Measuring Road Safety Using Surrogate Events provides researchers
and practitioners with the tools they need to quickly and
effectively measure traffic safety. As traditional crash-based
safety analyses are being undermined by today's growing use of
intelligent vehicular and road safety technologies, crash
surrogates--or near misses--can be more effectively used to measure
the future risk of crashes. This book advances the idea of using
these near-crash techniques to deliver quicker and more adequate
measurements of safety. It explores the relationships between
traffic conflicts and crashes using an extrapolation of observed
events rather than post-crash data, which is significantly slower
to obtain. Readers will find sound estimation methods based on
rigorous scientific principles, offering compelling new tools to
better equip researchers to understand road safety and its factors.
