Work zone safety has become a major concern to many highway agencies and the highway safety community is looking at various ways of improving the situation. Accordingly, this paper describes an application of ordered probit modeling methodology to identify the factors associated with the injury severity of work zone crashes using a state level dataset. According to the findings of the severity model, work zone crashes involving trucks, following too close, non deployment of airbags, sideswipe collision of the same direction vehicles, crashes occurring on roadway, and crashes occurred while vehicles were taking left/right turns in work zone area are some of the factors that are contributing towards higher injury severity in work zone crashes.
