• Explores safety performance functions and their association with surrogate events.
• Examines traffic conflicts, erratic maneuvers, and automated vehicle data as surrogate events.
• Presents case studies and applications of surrogate safety measures.
• Covers data collection, analysis, and interpretation methods.
• Addresses limitations and challenges of surrogate safety measures.

• Description:

Measuring Road Safety with Surrogate Events explores the use of surrogate safety measures (SSMs) to evaluate and improve road safety. It examines how near-crashes and traffic conflicts offer insights into potential hazards before actual crashes occur, focusing on traffic conflicts and erratic maneuvers.
