This issue contains 15 papers on the subject of statistical methods and highway safety performance. Specific topics discussed include the following: rule-based traffic flow forecasting; analysis of household automobile and motorcycle ownership; solving C-logit stochastic user equilibrium assignment problem using path-based algorithms; analyzing effects of gasoline price and miles traveled on fatal crashes involving intoxicated drivers; quantile effects of causal factors on crash distributions; statistical test for 85th and 15th percentile speeds; using computer vision to identify pedestrian behavior at urban intersections; crash modification factors; sensitivity analysis of data set sizes for "Highway Safety Manual" calibration factors; new models for rural two-lane two-way highways; international transferability of "Highway Safety Manual" crash prediction algorithm; safety effectiveness of composite shoulders on rural two-lane highways; relationship between freeway flow parameters and safety; and horizontal curves.
