| Summary | The design of road and its auxiliaries must keep road users away from danger .But frequent accidents under the infleuences of drive, vehicle and road factors had cost lots of lives and property .In order to cut down these losses , we can evaluate accidents and then feed back to correct the design. Highway hazard index is an evaluation method try to find out where is dangerous for road users, then government agencies or engineers could improve it. The index in this study could reflect dangers caused by road factors, so as to identify hazardous locations. And then government agencies or engineers could apply engineering technique to reduce potential risk of these locations. Empirical Bayes (EB) approach is a basic methodology for constituting this study's evaluation procedure. This study sets up an identification logic , and proves its practicability with real accident data. |
