A multiuser driving simulator is used in this study to explore the relationship between road and weather conditions, vehicle speed, and crash potential due to driver’s behavior. In this study, ten driving simulator scenarios were conducted. A total of 10 participants were recruited from different age groups to use the driving simulator. This study aims toward finding the relationship between the change in speed limit in certain weather condition and the number of crashes that are likely to occur as a sequence to this change. The data obtained from the driving simulator was used to estimate the crash modification factors (CMFs). The expected CMF gives the notion on whether a treatment or a change in speed limit in a certain weather condition will lead to change in the number of crashes and consequently a change in the safety level. The resultant CMFs from this study are considered a new dimension that will increase road safety and reduce the rate of road traffic crashes.
