Objective
Determine impact of AADT on data-driven safety analysis
- Apply Empirical Bayes (EB) method that uses safety performance functions (SPFs)
- Perform sensitivity analysis
- (AADT change for segments)
- Conduct simulation

Sensitivity Analysis
Steps
1. Apply EB Method within each FC
2. Rank segments
3. Determine percentile of the rank of each segment
4. Increase AADT of each segment by 10%, 50%, 100%, 250%, 500%
5. Repeat Steps 1-3 for each segment and % increase:
185,930 times = (3,110+12,386+3,097)*5*2
6. Calculate percentile rank change of each segment

Summary - Findings
• Developed SPFs by FC for KABCO and KABC crashes in NC
• Models validated using CURE plots
• AADT affects expected crash frequency safety risk segment ranking allocation of safety funds
• Impact of AADT on results of EB method depends on:
– SPF reliability and goodness-of-fit
– Sample size used to develop SPF
– Objective function used to estimate parameter estimates
– Model form
– Independent variables
– Overdispersion parameter
