Abstract:Vehicle occupancy (the number of persons per vehicle) is fundamental to evaluations of transportation system performance focused on the movement of people rather than solely vehicles. Historically, obtaining detailed estimates of occupancy has required manual (expensive) field data collection. This paper reports on a crash-based approach for estimating occupancy. Because some characteristics, such as the presence of multiple passengers aged 16 to 21, may affect the likelihood of crash involvement, the study ex… Show more
