It includes entirely new sections on topics such as digital twins as a source of data, model validation, extreme value models, temporal instability, joint crash frequency and severity modeling, sample size, quasi-induced exposure method, autonomous vehicle safety estimate, and more.
This book serves as a valuable reference for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. It provides more examples and exercises to help in using the book for courses, and it continues to complement the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AAHSTO), thus helping in the training of engineers and practitioners to better understand the concepts and methods outlined in the forthcoming HSM.
- Offers a better understanding of the nuances associated with safety data (such as low sample mean, small sample size, and repeated measurement)
- Provides examples and exercises not available in research papers as well as learning aids such as online datasets and slides
- Complements the Highway Safety Manual by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
