Brief Project Description:
In Vermont, roadway departure crashes represent over 70% of all fatal and serious injury crashes. However, the locations of these crashes vary from year-to-year and a challenge is to identify where these crashes are likely to take place in the future in order to construct treatments to eliminate them statewide. This project used binary logit regression models to identify the roadway features that are associated with roadway departure crashes in order to categorize the roadway network and identify the curves and tangents at highest risk. By using the risk assessment from this project, VTrans and other stakeholders will make cost-effective safety investments at places of known risks for roadway departure, and this will result in a safer road network across Vermont.
