Title: A Hot Spot Analysis of Teenage Crashes: An Assessment of Crashes in Houston, Texas
Accession Number: 01557470
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Today, states have enacted laws to ensure that teen drivers are more skilled and drive safely. The result is fewer accidents. However, when teen crashes from Houston, Texas were mapped, certain streets and areas appeared to have more accidents than other areas. Using the Getis-Ord Gi, this study was able to determine where clusters of accidents occurred. This research highlights the changes that occurred in teen crashes from 2006 compared to 2009 that led to the decline in crashes. While graduated driving programs and campaigns aimed to promote safety may have contributed to the decline in teen driver accidents, other factors also helped decrease crashes for this cohort. In Houston, Texas it appears that measures that calm traffic and prevent crashes for other cohorts also provided an added benefit to teen drivers.
