The goal of this research is the development of a run-off road accident prediction model (APM) for rural roads with a speed limit of 80 km/h in the Netherlands, with the use of readily available or newly to be discovered data resources. With this goal set, the research aims in providing traffic safety policymaking with tools for a preventive traffic safety policy and tools for the road design process for making design choices in respect to traffic safety. The first result of this research is the development of an APM for run-off road accidents for rural roads for the provinces Drenthe and Gelderland in the Netherlands. The second result is the discovery of new data resources which offer the chance of building a new research database. (Author/publisher)
