Time-specific Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) were proposed to achieve accurate and dynamic crash frequency predictions and bridge the gap between annual crash frequency prediction and real-time crash likelihood prediction. This research proposed time-specific SPFs considering the temporal variation in crashes and traffic characteristics. Firstly, the developed time-specific SPFs that include different ATM strategies (i.e., HOV, merge, diverge and reversible lanes …
Graduate Thesis and DissertationSuicide is a leading cause of death, and first responders are at elevated risk compared to the general population. The Three-Step Theory of Suicide (3ST), not yet tested among first responders, proposes that in Step 1 of the theory, the combination of either physical or psychological pain and hopelessness is necessary for the onset of suicidal desire, but little data …
