Given the sparsely distributed crashes across various highway systems, this study designed an empirical Bayes (EB) based sliding window technique within a spatial context. By examining roadway safety spatially, the safety analysts are able to account for high-risk locations completely within longer predefined segments and locations, which may include multiple predefined roadway segments. Removing the dependence on predefined segmentation can also bring to the forefront safety issues previously ignored. The robustness of the EB method significantly improves the crash estimation accuracy. In conjunction with several different but complementary safety metrics, a complete view of rural highway safety performance can be presented.
