Description

This PhD thesis aimed to develop a comprehensive analytical framework for the before-after treatment evaluation utilising econometric models that address unobserved heterogeneity. This research had four objectives: (i) investigate the influence of different segmentation approaches on safety effectiveness of engineering treatments, (ii) propose a framework that considers unobserved heterogeneity in the Empirical Bayes approach, (iii) examine the performance of various engineering treatment evaluation techniques using a hypothetical and actual treatment setup, and (iv) propose a framework that estimates multiple crash types simultaneously while accounting for correlations, unobserved heterogeneity, and preponderance of zeros to evaluate a highway system.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
