Highlights Multiple safety performance functions (SPFs) by crash severity are developed for urban intersections Various functional forms of the negative binomial (NB) regression and a generalized Poisson (GP) regression model are applied to develop the SPFs All the NB models and a GP model show promising results when estimating the SPFs On the basis of goodness of fit and predictive performance measures, the developed models are compared to choose a better model The performance of the NB-P model is better than the competing models for signalized intersections while the GP model outperforms other models for unsignalized intersections
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
