Ministry <strong>of</strong> Transportation <strong>for</strong> Ontario (1998)<br />

Ontario<br />

Signalized intersections<br />

Four approaches: N = 0.0002283 AADT 0.54866 <strong>for</strong> fatal crashes<br />

N = 0.0103469 AADT 0.54866 <strong>for</strong> injury crashes<br />

N = 0.0169214 AADT 0.54866 <strong>for</strong> property damage only crashes<br />

Three approaches: N = 0.0000853 AADT 0.54925 <strong>for</strong> fatal crashes<br />

N = 0.0038654 AADT 0.54925 <strong>for</strong> injury crashes<br />

N = 0.0063216 AADT 0.54925 <strong>for</strong> property damage only crashes<br />

where:<br />

N = annual number <strong>of</strong> crashes<br />

AADT = Average annual daily traffic <strong>of</strong> the main road<br />

Sayed and Rodriguez (1999)<br />

British Columbia<br />

Unsignalized intersections<br />

Four approaches: N = 1.5406 (AADT major /1000) 0.4489 (AADT minor /1000) 0.675<br />

Three approaches: N = 0.9333 (AADT major /1000) 0.4531 (AADT minor /1000) 0.5806<br />

where:<br />

N = Crashes per 3 years<br />

AADT major = Average annual daily traffic <strong>of</strong> the major road<br />

AADT minor = Average annual daily traffic <strong>of</strong> the minor road<br />
