The necessary computations are carried out using Gibbs sampling, producing point and interval estimates of relative crash risk for the specified driver group at each site in a sample. The method is applied to data from 102 signalized intersections, and 10 were identified as showing high risk for older drivers. Left-turn crashes tended to predominate at these 10, whereas rear-end crashes were most common at geographically similar intersections not identified as showing high risk to older drivers.
