This collection of 22 papers is concerned with safety data, analysis and modelling. The following specific topics are addressed: data-driven perspective on safety risk management; macro-level annual safety performance measures; tool with road-level crash prediction for safety planning; congestion and number of lanes on urban freeways relationship to safety; accident modification factors; identifying hazardous road locations; identifying hot spots; safety influence area for four-legged signalised intersections; automated analysis of accident exposure; new simulation-based surrogate safety measure; hit-and-run crashes; speed limit increases effect on injury severity; safety of curbs; proximity to intersections and injury severity of urban arterial crashes; nested logit model of traffic flow on freeway ramps; intelligent transportation system data for assessing freeway safety; vehicle time spent in following on two-lane rural roads; indirect associations in crash data; crash prediction models for rural highways; and methodology for identifying causal factors of accident severity.
