Literature Review
Rear End Crashes– Most common type at signalized intersections– Account for one-third of all reported crashes in US– Mostly PDO, sometimes severe injuries and fatalities occur
Causes– Driver Behavior – Inattentive driving, smaller headways– Driver Age and Gender– Heavy Traffic Volumes– Dilemma Zone
![Page 16: Murray Boulevard and Farmington Road Intersection](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681451a550346895db1db18/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Countermeasures
1. Reduce speed limit on approaches to
• 35 mph on Murray Blvd• 30 on Farmington Road
Pros• Reduction in all types of crashes
Cons• Increase in delay• Diversion of vehicles to other streets
![Page 19: Murray Boulevard and Farmington Road Intersection](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681451a550346895db1db18/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Countermeasures
2. Advance Signal Warning Signs
• Murray Blvd & Farmington Rd
Pros• Reduction in Rear End Crashes• Low cost• Easy Implementation
Cons• Need space?
![Page 20: Murray Boulevard and Farmington Road Intersection](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681451a550346895db1db18/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Countermeasures3. Improve Signal Timing
• Optimize to ITE Standards
Pros• Reduces Rear End PDO crashes
Cons• Increases Fatal and Injury crashes?!
![Page 21: Murray Boulevard and Farmington Road Intersection](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681451a550346895db1db18/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Countermeasures4. Coordinated Signals
• Coordinate adjacent intersections
Pros• Allows progression of vehicles• Reduces all types of crashes
Cons• Hard to implement
![Page 22: Murray Boulevard and Farmington Road Intersection](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/5681451a550346895db1db18/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cost Benefit Analysis
Select Countermeasures– For each countermeasure, extract CRF– Calculate reduction in crashes– Calculate annual benefits and costs– Assume discount rate of 4%– Calculate NPV = NPVB – NPVC– Rank countermeasures in decreasing order of NPV

Conclusions & Recommendations
Rear-end crashes are common at signalized intersections.
Typical causes• Driver Behavior• Driver Age & Gender• Heavy Traffic Volumes• Dilemma Zone
Countermeasures Ranking Based on B/C Analysis1. Install Advance Signal Warning Signs2. Reduce vehicle’s approach speed limit3. Signal Coordination
