A useful method for studying traffic problems at street intersections

Abstract

The classification of 2173 traffic accident records into types, "according to the path taken by pedestrians and vehicles immediately preceding collision and by combining into a 'frequency-injury' ratio the frequency of occurrence of each type of accident together with the severity of the same type of accident," made it possible to analyze accidents objectively under different conditions and to suggest means of improving traffic control.
