Step 2 of 9
Determine the predicted number of intersection-related fatal crashes per year using the given
formula,
Step 3 of 9
Determine the predicted number of intersection-related property damage only crashes per year
using the formula,
Step 4 of 9

https://chegg.buzz/view 2/5
7/26/2021 Solution
Step 5 of 9
Determine the weighting factor for fatal crashes using the formula,
Step 6 of 9

https://chegg.buzz/view 3/5
7/26/2021 Solution
Step 7 of 9
Determine the long-term average number of injury crashes (m) at the site using the formula,
Here, is the expected number of intersection-related injury crashes per year, is the relative
weight for this type of crash, and is the number of crashes observed over n years at a given
site.
Thus, the long-term average number of injury crashes (m) at the given site is .
Step 8 of 9
Determine the long-term average number of fatal crashes (m) at the site using the formula,
Thus, the long-term average number of fatal crashes (m) at the given site is .
Step 9 of 9
Determine the long-term average number of property damage only (m) crashes at the site using
the formula,
https://chegg.buzz/view 4/5
7/26/2021 Solution
Thus, the long-term average number of property damage only (m) crashes at the given site is
.
