Abstract

The traffic conflicts technique as an accident prediction method is discussed. The technique was first developed by General Motors as a method of measuring accident potential. It is based on tabulation of evasive maneuvers as evidenced by brake light indications or lane changes. The paper reviews the Ohio evaluation of the conflicts technique, which concluded that the technique is sound and provides the traffic engineer with a new tool for intersection evaluation.
