Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Previous macro-level studies show that the condition of the pavement is associated with roadway safety. However, this premise has not been examined on a micro-level using detailed pavement distress variables (PDVs). The main focus of this research will be to expand the use of the PDV data to further understand the safety risks associated with the type of pavement and each individual PDV by analyzing the likelihood of having a rear-end and/or injurious crash, given that a crash occurs.
Sample crash data and PDV data from the Commonwealth of Virginia for the years 2007 and 2008 were used to produce …
