A Full Bayes Approach to Road Safety: Hierarchical Poisson Mixture Models, Variance Function Characterization, and Prior Specification

Road safety is a major concern of every department of transportation. Allocating resources to improve safety requires the identification of hazardous sites (hotspots) and the assessment of safety countermeasures. For such tasks, reliable safety performance functions are noteworthy to predict collisi...
