Task Force (2002) conducted survey among 44 safety engineers
A. Identify sites that are adjacent to each other as one site

1. Motivation and Background
![Page 8: Continuous Risk Profile: A Simple Method for Identifying Sites for Safety Investigation. Koohong Chung, Ph.D. California Department of Transportation Highway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb17b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Motivation and Background
Direction of traffic
Pattern I: Collision causative factor can reside outside of 0.2 mile window.
![Page 9: Continuous Risk Profile: A Simple Method for Identifying Sites for Safety Investigation. Koohong Chung, Ph.D. California Department of Transportation Highway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb17b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Motivation and Background
Pattern II: Collisions can accompany secondary collisions in the vicinity.

Comment from hydraulic division
We were thinking that a plot like these presented to Hydraulics prior to a major rehabilitation project would be ideal in assisting us evaluate and upgrade drainage at the high accident locations as necessary.
…Could I encourage you to have a discussion at the end of your report recommending that Caltrans generate such plots?
It (CRP plot) would help us out immeasurably during design.

3. Findings
CRP can be used to identify freeway sites that display high collision rate only under wet pavement condition.

“The Analysis of Count data: overdispersion and autocorrelation”, Barron
“.. ML estimation of both Poisson and negative binomial regression typically requires independent observations. This assumption will often not be true in time-series data, and Poisson and negative binomial regression are then problematic.”

5. Concluding Remark
![Page 49: Continuous Risk Profile: A Simple Method for Identifying Sites for Safety Investigation. Koohong Chung, Ph.D. California Department of Transportation Highway](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb17b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
5. Concluding Remark
CRP is simple to use and provides overview of collision rates of extended segment of freeways over the years.
CRP can identify sites that display high collision rates only under certain condition. (ex: wet hot spots)
CRP can proactively monitor traffic collision rates.
CRP can be used to capture “spill over benefit” of countermeasure.
Spatial correlation is not an issue in constructing CRP

5. Concluding Remark
In future research,
III. Expand CRP approach for CALTRANS intersections and ramp.
I. Continue exploring different areas where CRP can be used.
II. Friendly interface CALTRANS
