This research's objective is to present a methodology to supplement the conventional traffic safety analysis techniques. This methodology aims at using computer simulation to animate and visualize crash occurrence at high-risk locations. This methodology aids into developing the appropriate safety countermeasures for high-risk locations (e.g., intersections, curves, ramps). A computer accident simulation and animation program has been developed. The program includes many features including accident detection, location, vehicle, and animation attributes. The program has the ability to animate accidents at specific highway location based on the configuration of this location, which is entered by the user.
