CMF's for Fatal and injury SPF's

[dengstro]

SPF's are given for 4 lane rural roadways (undivided and divided) as well as urban arterials for Fatal and Injury crashes and Fatal and injury crashes (minus C or possible injury). What CMF's are appropriate to use for these SPF's (lane width, shoulder width, etc..)?

David,

In Chapter 11, Section 11.7 summarizes the CMFs for Rural Multilane Highways. Table 11-10 (p. 11-25) provides a “Summary of CMFs in Chapter 11 and the Corresponding SPFs.” Sections 11.7.1 (p. 11-25; “CMFs for Undivided Roadway Segments”) and 11.7.2 (p. 11-29; “CMFs for Undivided Roadway Segments”) note that “Each of the CMFs applies to all of the crash severity levels shown in Table 11-3 / 11-5.” Tables 11-3 and 11-5 show SPF Coefficients for total, fatal-and-injury (KABC) and fatal-and-injury (KAB) crashes.

Likewise, in Chapter 12, Section 12.7 summarizes the CMFs that are applied to the various SPFs developed for urban/suburban arterials. Table 12-18 (p. 12-39) provides a “Summary of CMFs in Chapter 12 and the Corresponding SPFs.”
