| Abstract | In this research we carry out a spatial analysis of 11 years of crash data in 24 medium-sized California cities. The cities were selected from an initial database of over 150 California cities to best represent a geographically diverse collection of 12 medium-sized cities with good safety records and 12 with poor safety records with respect to the number of road fatalities per capita in the transportation system. Street network measures were combined with street characteristics, socioeconomic data, traffic flow information, and over 230,000 individual crash records geo-coded in a Geographic Information System (GIS) database. The analysis was conducted at the U.S. Census Block Group level of geography for over 1000 distinctly populated Block Groups. Statistical negative binomial regression crash models were estimated for three response variables: total number of total crashes, severe injury crashes, and fatal crashes. |
