Roundabout accident prediction model: random-parameter negative binomial approach (2016)
Journal Article

Roundabouts have been used widely on all road classes in the United Kingdom because they are considered safer than other types of intersections in general. The objective of this study was to examine geometric and traffic characteristics and their inf... Read More about Roundabout accident prediction model: random-parameter negative binomial approach.
