Researchers developed a safety performance function (SPF), which estimates the probability of occurrence of a crash for a given segment of roadway. Using data on over 100 segments of roadway, they fit the model E(y)=0+1x1+2x2, where of crashes per three years, length (miles), and annual daily traffic (number of vehicles) = AADT.
