Federal Highway AdministrationUS Transportation CollectionThe objective of this study were to develop a database of intersections, match traffic crashes to these intersections, calculate rates for intersections, and identify intersections with the highest crash rates. A procedure was used to: a) identify intersections, b) assign crashes to these intersections, c) determine entering traffic volume, d) calculate a crash rate for each intersection, and e) calculate a critical rate factor (CRF) for each intersection
