However, the influence of the road network structure on RTCs has not been adequately explored. Furthermore, methodologies employed in earlier studies to quantify road networks have often relied on visual inspection, which is both subjective and impractical. Therefore, this study aimed to address these gaps by (1) utilizing graph theory metrics to quantify the road network structure and (2) developing a statistical model to determine how various characteristics of the network structure—such as connectivity, density, complexity and centrality—are correlated with RTCs while accounting for over-dispersion and spatial auto-correlation. Using a Bayesian conditional auto-regressive model, a spatial analysis of fatal RTCs was conducted at the ward level in Delhi, India. The findings demonstrated a significant positive association between road network connectivity and fatal crash risk. Areas with a higher density of intersections involving major roads were linked to a greater number of fatal crashes. Furthermore, areas with a higher number of intersections deviating from the typical 90-degree angle (higher skewness) were associated with a higher incidence of fatal RTCs. Conversely, an efficient network structure (lower circuitry) and higher network centrality were negatively correlated with fatal RTCs. In addition, wards with a mix of higher-category and lower-category roads (increased entropy) faced an increased risk of fatal crashes. In summary, this study underscores the significant impact of network structure on road safety outcomes. Based on the findings, the study offers policy recommendations for developing targeted road safety measures to address the issues identified via network analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47059,"journal":{"name":"IATSS Research","volume":"49 3","pages":"Pages 374-386"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145050151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it also constantly carries the risk of traffic crashes, making it an ongoing social issue amidst the development of road transportation. While there has been a decreasing trend in the number of traffic crashes and fatalities in recent years, many traffic crashes still occur, with over half of them happening at intersections or nearby. Past research on traffic crashes around intersections has predominantly focused on large-scale intersections, lacking sufficient analysis on small-scale intersections in residential areas due to data limitations. Therefore, in this study, we aggregated OpenData-based intersection representations for obtaining the number of corner cuts (so called “sumikiri” in Japan) via a computational-geometric approach for relating them to nearby-situated facilities and finding relationships between visibility characteristics and the number of traffic crashes, particularly focusing on small-scale intersections. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that while the number of corner cuts did not show a significant impact on the number of traffic crashes at large-scale intersections, they had a statistically significant negative impact on traffic crashes at medium to small-scale intersections. This implies that intersection size influences the impact of corner cuts (i.e., visibility) on traffic crash occurrence. The results of this study suggest a potential relationship between the corner cut and the occurrence of traffic crashes at medium to small-scale intersections, providing insights that could contribute to future traffic crash prevention strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47059,"journal":{"name":"IATSS Research","volume":"49 3","pages":"Pages 305-313"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145005197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
