Book Description
Traffic crash statistics indicate that the eight southeastern states (Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky) consistently have higher numbers and rates of fatal motor vehicle crashes than the national averages. Under the auspices of the Federal Highway Administration, these southeastern states are conducting a pooled fund study to investigate the overrepresentation of crashes in the region. This study is being coordinated by the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), with universities in each of the other states serving in a supporting role. This report addresses South Carolina's portion of the study, as performed by a Clemson University research team. The principal objectives of this research were to obtain for the South Carolina Department of Transportation a set of data records for randomly selected fatal crashes on rural South Carolina two-lane roads, evaluate these data, and ascertain how the safety of these roads might be improved by specific crash countermeasures. A comprehensive data set was collected for 157 randomly selected fatal crashes.
