This Transportation Research Record contains 23 papers on the analysis and evaluation of safety data. Specific topics discussed include the following: assessing crash occurrence on urban freeways; crash estimation at signalized intersections; crash mitigation by variable speed limits; the relationship between real-time traffic surveillance data and rear-end crashes on freeways; real-time indicators of sideswipe crashes on freeways; a new approach to accident analysis of hazardous road locations; the influence of land use, population, employment, and economic activity on accidents; reanalysis of encroachment frequency data; rural expressway intersection characteristics; driver assistance systems evaluation by traffic simulation; estimating right-angle collision frequency at traffic signals; crash estimation at signalized intersections; in-vehicle data recorders; traffic signal warrants; intersections with potential for red light-related safety improvement; the severity of head-on crashes on two-lane rural highways; safety effect of daylight savings time; the safety effect of continuous shoulder rumble strips on rural interstates; experience with road diet measures; right turn from driveways followed by U-turn on four-lane arterials; linking databases for analysis of injury specifics and crash compatibility issues; safety of jug handle intersections; and the safety evaluation of the Stop Sign In-Fill program.
