- •
This research pursues an empirical approach to road safety studies.
- •
It considers how the interplay between road geometry and driver behaviour affects the segmental change of crash rates for day/night.
- •
Casualty crashes are clustered on curves during the day, but randomly distributed at night from the headlight effect.
- •
The results can be used by local and national authorities for location-specific public policies.
