Crash data are a central source of information for a wide variety of roadway and traffic safety activities, ranging from policy to planning and design to countermeasures to evaluation. The papers in this volume are equally far ranging in dealing with traffic records and accident analysis. Modeling of carrier accident risk is done by Lin et al. Kim et al. explore crash type and injury in Hawaii. Zegeer et al. delve into a little-studied area: commercial bus accidents and the related roadway conditions. The next three papers deal with roadway hardware and safety. Belanger develops a method for estimating the safety of four-legged unsignalized intersections. Hauer et al. study the effects of two types of road resurfacing programs on subsequent crashes. In this study innovative statistical techniques that will be of use in other types of safety evaluations are used. The extensive data currently being collected with WIM devices are explored for uses in various safety related analyses (e.g., exposure data) by Hajek et al. McCarthy and Madanat illustrate the applicability of recently developed econometric methods in highway safety analysis.
