A comparative analysis of intersection hotspot identification: Fixed vs. varying dispersion parameters in negative binomial models

Network screening for crash hotspots is the first step in roadway safety management. The empirical Bayes (EB) method has been widely used for ranking sites. In the EB process, the most frequently u...
