Title: Effect of Bridge Width on Crashes in Nebraska
Abstract: This research examines how bridge width relative to the approach
roadway affects the occurrence of crashes on Nebraska highways.
The study will test hypotheses on whether narrower or wider bridges are associated with higher crash rates, and whether GIS-based methods identify more bridge-related crashes than current reporting practices. Count-based regression models, such as Poisson and Negative Binomial, will be used for crash frequency analysis, supported by additional statistical tests for method comparisons.
