The objective of the research is to develop safety performance functions (SPFs) on two-lane rural roads to predict the number of injury crashes per year per 108 vehicles/km on the road segment using a study on the influence of the human factors (gender/age/number-of-drivers) and road scenario (combination of infrastructure and environmental conditions found at the site at the time of the crash) on the effects of a crash by varying the dynamic. Countermeasures are suggested to reduce the injury crash rate and they can include different awareness campaigns and structural measures on the segments of road.
