DIFFICULTIES IN STUDYING SPATIAL ASPECTS OF ROAD SAFETY: THE EXAMPLE OF ACCIDENTS AT INTERSECTIONS
This paper aims to compare accident counts between two sets of locations: motorway sections in the vicinity of slip roads and motorway sections away from ingress/egress areas. Significant differences are obtained. Empirical tests are conducted for Belgium. This paper shows the difficulties encountered when treating spatial accident data and the resulting statistical problems.
