PROBABILITY STUDY OF HIGH ACCIDENT LOCATIONS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
THE GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE A RELEVANT ANALYSIS OF HAZARDOUS INTERSECTIONS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL, THIS STUDY WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE USE OF PROBABILITY THEORY AND A SERIES OF INPUT-OUTPUT SYSTEMS. A SECONDARY GOAL WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF EASILY USED MONOGRAPHS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF INTERSECTION ACCIDENT PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ACCIDENT PROBABILITY. THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF EASILY USED MONOGRAPHS, IT IS HOPED THAT THIS STUDY TECHNIQUE CAN BE MORE EASILY MADE A PART OF A CONTINUING NETWORK ACCIDENT ANALYSIS. /HSL/
