PLANNING WITH GIS
DELINEATING HIGH CRASH LOCATIONS WITH THE USE OF GIS
OBJECTIVE
• To delineate the high crash locations in GIS map
• To do the exploratory analysis about the relationships between crash characteristics (frequency, severity) with causal factors using GIS maps.
• To develop a model showing the relationship of frequency of crash with these causal factors.
LITERATURE REVIEW
LITERATURES
GENERAL TRANSPORTATION
· Planning, design, safety, operation, environmental management, construction managemnt, right of way managemnt, etc.
· Data integration, cash referencing, mapping and spatial analysis capabilities of GIS made it useful for transportation.
HIGH CRASH LOCATIONS
· Crash referencing, querrying, mapping
· Critical crash rate
· Model can Be used to forecast crash.
· Integration of GIS with Crash Analysis Tool (Example :CARE)

MODELLING
Code Decsription
M_AADT Total AADT on the approaches of major street segement.
C_AADT Total AADT on the approaches of minor street segement.
M_SPEED Average speed on major street segment
C_SPEED Average speed on minor street segment
M_L Length of major street segment
C-L Length of minor street segment
CONTROL 0= Stop Control, 1= Signal Control
Independent Variables
MODELLING
Model Equation: Log (Number of crashes on High Crash Locations) = 0.125 *10-4 *M_AADT+0.864*10-5 * C_AADT + 0.054*M_SPEED -1.565 *M-L +0.506* CONTROL
DISCUSSION ON THE RESULTS•AADT of the major street approach is positively affecting the number of crashes. It can be said that the number of crashes will increase with the increment in AADT of the major street approach. This is in harmony with the observation in GIS Map.
•AADT of the minor street approach is positively affecting the number of crashes. It can be said that the number of crashes will increase with the increment in AADT of the minor street approach. This is in harmony with the observation in GIS Map.
•The average speed of major street segment is positively affecting the number of crashes. It can be said that the number of crashes will increase with the increment in the average speed of major street segment.
•The length of major street segment is negatively affecting the number of crashes. It can be said that the number of crashes will decrease with the increment in the length of major street segment.
•The presence of signal as the control of intersection is affecting the number of crashes positively. It can be said that the number of crashes will increase when there is signal control than stop control. This is in harmony with the observation in GIS Map.
CONCLUSION• High Crash Locations were delineated in the GIS Maps.
• Some of the inferences obtained from GIS Maps about the relationship between frequency of crash and causal factors were harmonious.
• Statistical modeling showed POISITIVE REALTIONSHIP between crash frequency and
AADT Speed Signal Control
• Statistical modeling showed NEGATIVE REALTIONSHIP between crash frequency and
Length of Major Street Segment Length
