A paper titled “Network-wide road crash risk screening: A new framework” authored by Michela Bonera, Benedetto Barabino, George Yannis and Giulio Maternini has been published in Accident Analysis & Prevention. This study integrates road safety factors, prediction models and a risk-based method. Road segments are ranked according to the risk value and classified by a five-level scale, to show the parts of road network with the highest crash risk. This framework introduces a valid support for road safety Authorities to help identify the most critical road segments on the network, prioritise interventions and, possibly, improve the safety performance.
