Crash Analytics Program

The Crash Analytics Program’s mission is to produce objective information that will ultimately lead to a reduction of traffic crashes and their associated injuries and fatalities.

The focus of the Crash Analytics Program is to accumulate, synthesize, and analyze roadway crash data to predict and/or establish causal relationships, potential countermeasures, and/or safety improvements to minimize the frequency and/or severity of roadway crashes. This includes the development of effective methodologies for roadway crash data research, the conduct of engineering safety studies, the utilization and enhancement of crash prediction models, the development and refinement of computer visualization of roadway crash data, statistical analysis of roadway crash data, and the evaluation of roadway safety improvement programs. The program’s approach is a commitment to data quality developed from experience with field data collection, survey methods, analysis techniques, and state and federal crash data sets.
