TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2279 consists of 15 papers that explore rule-based forecasting of traffic flow; household automobile and motorcycle ownership; path-based algorithms; effects of gasoline price and miles traveled on fatal crashes; quantile effects of causal factors on crash distributions; statistical test for 85th and 15th percentile speeds; and pedestrians’ nonconforming behavior at urban intersections. This issue of the TRR also examines crash modification factors; Highway Safety Manual calibration factors; calibration of the Highway Safety Manual safety performance function; assessing international transferability of the Highway Safety Manual crash prediction algorithm; the safety and effectiveness of composite shoulders on rural two-lane highways; crash modification factors for changes to left-turn phasing; relationship between freeway flow parameters and safety; and horizontal curves, signs, and safety.
