Abstract
Accident prediction models, popularly known as safety performance functions (SPFs) play an important role in roadway safety analyses and evaluation processes. The 2010 Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides a number of SPFs that can be used locally after calibration to reflect local conditions. However, most of these SPFs focus on intersections and roadway segments. A limited number of studies have developed SPFs for interchanges and especially on-ramps and their related sections such as ramp segments and point of freeway entry. This study was an effort to develop Michigan-specific SPFs for urban partial cloverleaf (parclo) on-ramp loops at freeway entry. A number of factors associated with crash frequency on these facilities were examined, and the SPFs developed for urban partial cloverleaf loops, are presented.
