Abstract:This paper investigated factors influencing injury severity of crashes involving median traffic barriers, including the impact of barrier characteristics and their geometric features in Wyoming. Combining field data of inventoried median barriers with crash data on Wyoming interstates highways, a random parameters multinomial logit (mixed logit) model of injury severity was estimated. This methodological approach allowed for the possibility of estimated model parameters to vary randomly across crash observatio… Show more
