Probability of a crash becoming fatal is appreciably sensitive to certain pavement indices.
Significant correlation is evident between pavement condition and crash injury severity on two-lane undivided horizontal curves in Texas. In addition, it examines the suitability of the existing Skid Index for safety maintenance of two-lane curves.
It focuses on developing a causal relationship between pavement condition indices and severity level of crashes occurring on two-lane horizontal curves in Texas. This study sought to develop crash injury severity models by integrating crash and pavement surface condition databases. Ensuring the desired pavement surface condition is one potentially effective strategy to reduce the occurrence of severe accidents on horizontal curves. These crashes are often severe and many involve at least some level of injury due to the nature of the collisions. Influence of pavement condition on horizontal curve safety.īuddhavarapu, Prasad Banerjee, Ambarish Prozzi, Jorge AĬrash statistics suggest that horizontal curves are the most vulnerable sites for crash occurrence.
