This study develops Safety Performance Function (SPF) analyzing cumulative residuals for two-lane rural highways.
On the basis of cumulative residual analysis the sample were divided on ranges of the AADT variable for obtaining better models.
In the AADT > 4000 veh/day database the percentage of heavy vehicles and the curvature change rate (CCR) have a large effect on the crash frequency.
In the AADT < 4000 database, the percentage of shoulder and the driveway density have a high influence on crashes.
