Pavement Condition and Crashes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper combines GIS data on crashes with a separate GIS database on pavement quality to test the relationship between pavement quality and crashes over 12 years. Poor road quality is associated with more property damage and injury crashes. The interaction of road quality and curves was surprising, indicating that good pavement quality on curves was associated with an increase in the fatal, injury, and property-damage crash rate.
