Finding and Measuring Horizontal Curves in a Large Highway Network
Roadways are continuous elements that consist of straight and curved segments that are of particular interest to transportation agencies because of safety concerns for motorists. An analysis was undertaken on curves to determine the accuracy of using GIS to identify curves. The safety of horizontal curves from a system perspective was also benchmarked to understand curves as a system instead of as isolated roadway features. The automated applicat…
Urban Sprawl as a Risk Factor in Motor Vehicle Occupant and Pedestrian Fatalities
Objectives. We sought to determine the association between urban sprawl and traffic fatalities. Methods. We created a sprawl index by applying principal components analysis to data for 448 US counties in the largest 101 metropolitan areas. Regression analysis was used to determine associations between the index and traffic fatalities. Results. For every 1% increase in the index (i.e., more compact, less sprawl), all-mode traffic fatality rates fe…
