Crash reduction factors are used to identify and prioritize the most effective safety improvement measures, and prioritize and allocate available resources optimally for a highway safety improvement project. Simple before-and after analysis does account for the regression-to-the-mean bias. This research employs an Empirical Bayes (EB) methodology that overcomes the regression-to-the-mean property that is encountered in traditional before-and after analysis. Traffic, geometric and crash data for both the treatment and comparison sites were collected from Ohio in developing the crash reduction factors. Using data collected from Ohio, the EB methodology was applied in developing crash reduction factors for the following improvement categories: add a two-way left turn lane, install a median barrier, flatten slope and remove guardrail, remove or relocate a fixed object, flatten vertical curve, providing highway lighting and close median opening.

This report reviews the crash cost reduction factors for countermeasures currently listed in the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facility's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Handbook (HSIPHB) and provides revised values based on a literature survey of research and references. In addition, crash cost reduction factors are proposed for the five treatments that are not currently listed in the HSIPHB, including cable barrier median barriers, pavement traction enhancement, flashing yellow arrow left turn indications, HAWK pedestrian signals, and concrete median barriers. There is also a section on practices by other state DOT organizations. Alaska HSIP data is evaluated for safety effectiveness and the report provides an analysis and recommendations for the HSIP post evaluation process. This project and report also included research of the effectiveness of Active Advance Warning Flashers (AAWF) and shoulder rumble strips based upon Alaskan crash experience.

The primary objective of this research was to systematically review past studies on rear end crashes, examine strategies for reducing rear end crashes on both freeway and non freeway facilities, and develop a set of rear end crash reduction strategies for use in Ohio, which will be appropriate for various traffic engineering solutions, operations and ITS improvements. Accordingly, this study conducted an extensive review of past literature related to rear end crashes and strategies to reduce them. A determination of specific strategies for a road safety improvement program requires an understanding of probable crash reduction capabilities for various geometric, operational and environmental factors on the roadways. Studies of crash reduction strategies have usually focused on before-and-after comparisons of specific locations or conditions. Based on the data provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation, this study attempted to examine the crash reduction capabilities for signalized intersections, unsignalized intersections, freeways and non-freeways where countermeasures were implemented. An attempt was made to compute crash reduction factors for rear end collisions for these roadway facilities. However, this task could not be performed because of the severe limitations in the ODOT countermeasure and roadway site data. In response to the researchers' request for additional data, ODOT decided not to proceed ahead with this research as it required the dedication of district resources that were not currently available. It was believed that breaking the project into smaller, more manageable pieces, would not yield results that would be statistically significant. There were also several national projects underway which would limit this project's benefits. In view of these circumstances, ODOT decided to terminate the contract for this project and all work stopped.

TRB¿s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 617: Accident Modification Factors for Traffic Engineering and ITS Improvements explores the development of accident modification factors (AMFs) for traffic engineering and intelligent transportation system improvements. AMFs, also known as crash reduction factors, are designed to provide a simple and quick way of estimating the safety impacts of various types of engineering improvements, encompassing the areas of signing, alignment, channelization, and other traffic engineering solutions.
