A safety analysis of a specific location requires a knowledge of 'base accident rates', also known as 'expected values', for identifying abnormal accident patterns at the study location. The base accident rates will allow an agency to objectively determine whether an accident pattern at a study location is significantly higher than the same accident pattern at other locations with similar geometric, traffic, and environmental factors. Accident density and/or rate estimation models were developed for the following ten accident types: total accident density, injury accident density, PDO accident density, fixed-object accident rate, sideswipe accident density, read-end accident density and rate, left-turn accident density, right-angle accident density and rate, wet pavement accident density, and night accident density.
