Description:
The Monroe County Department of Transportation in New York enhanced its database of traffic volumes and crash data. The objective of this project was to provide reliable volume estimates for minor (non-county and non-state) public roads where they intersect County highways and for urban street intersections within the City of Rochester. The volume estimates are used to enhance the existing crash database and high-crash location identification and prioritization process. A methodology was developed using roadway characteristics, adjacent land uses, and the number of cross streets to predict the volume and crash rate for intersections without traffic volumes. The tool can be used to supplement data analysis for state and local agencies.
