Safety Evaluation of Selected Intersections Using Historical Crash Data and Surrogate Traffic Conflict Measures - the Case of Yeka Sub City Addis Ababa
Urban intersections are critical locations in road network where vehicular traffic and pedestrians interact. It results in substandard safety performance due to geometric deficiencies. Traditional safety evaluations depend on historical records solely which suffers systematic under reporting and provide are active frame work. This study used a reactive proactive approach by integrating historical crash data analysis with microscopic traffic simulations and surrogate safety measures (SSMs) to evaluate five high risk intersections in Yeka sub city Addis Ababa. Kotebe K/mihret, kotebe Zero hulet, Kotebe College, Abem and Kara junctions. Intersections were screened and prioritized using the equivalent property damage only (EPDO) scoring method. A microscopic simulation was developed using SUMO and trajectories were analyzed using the surrogate safety assessment model (SSAM) to capture time to collision (TTC) and post encroachment time (PET). Based on identified deficiencies engineering interventions are proposed following AACRA, ERA and AASHTO design standards. The post redesign SSAM evaluation revealed a 36.9% overall reduction in total traffic conflicts. This confirmed that integrating historical crashes with proactive surrogate measures creates a more robust framework for urban traffic safety management. This study concluded that for evaluating urban intersection safety, integrating historical crash analysis with surrogate conflict measures provide more comprehensive and reliable frame work than relying on historical crash records solely.

In developing countries traffic accident is a main concern of safety since safety management systems are limited. Developing countries have low motorization compared to developed countries but have higher traffic accidents and fatalities. If safety interventions are not implemented this will get worsen

A five-year historical crash data from eleven initial intersections were compiled from Addis Ababa traffic police commission and relevant transport organizations. Intersections are prioritized based on injury severity, the equivalent property damage only (EPDO) scoring method was applied

3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Base Line Site Audits and EPDO Ranking
The preliminary data screening selected five primary junctions based on structural risk profiles. Field checks revealed severe structural flaws, including steep slopes (up to 12% at Abem and 10% at Kotebe Kidane Mihret), inadequate fillet radii 10m, non-functional traffic signals (Abem and Kara) and structural sight obstructions.
Figure 5. Crash data mapping kotebe college junction.
Note: Crash type mapping showed that vehicle-to-vehicle impacts predominated across most intersections, while Kotebe College exhibited the highest percentage of pedestrian strikes (43%) due to unprotected school zones.
The EPDO scoring allocated priorities based on historical severity index profiles, identifying Kotebe College Junction as the highest priority site for safety mitigation.
The base line simulation identified critical structural exposure across the road network. Kara junction exhibited the highest simulated operational hazard profile. yielding 340 total conflicts and highly critical safety concerns. The average TTC is 0.9 and average PET is 0.8.
Discrepancy Discussion: Kotebe college ranks highest in historical crash severity (EPDO) however Kara ranks first in projected operational numbers. This shows that historical crash records can underestimate risk at highly congested road networks confirming the value of proactive trajectory simulation

3.3. Post-Redesign Safety Performance Evaluation
Engineering interventions were introduced based on the specific junction condition and level of severity and risk to structurally eliminate crossing conflicts, traffic management recommendations to protect vulnerable road users and to enhance over all safety of the intersections. The proposed improvements resulted in overall 36.9% reduction in total traffic conflicts of selected intersections.
Figure 8. Total simulated conflicts existing and post re-deign.
The localized conflict variations post redesign demonstrates improvements.
1) Kotebe k/mihret: total conflict dropped from 210 to 132 (TTC<1.5s reduced by 35.5%) by modifying turning radius to as standard 15 meters, segregating loading areas away from the intersection and providing pedestrian facilities.
2) Kotebe zero hulet: conflicts drooped from 185 to 106 by installing a raised physical median barrier, providing pedestrian refuge island and segregating conflicting u turns from market cross walk zones.
3) Kotebe college: conflicts decreased from 260 to 169 by providing channelization islands to organize turns and introducing protective pedestrian signage to safeguard wonderad school area.
4) Abem wosen: conflicts decreased from 112 to 98 through localized channelization and signal adjustments.
5) Kara junction: total conflicts dropped from 340 to 194 by implementing geometric modifications to mitigate sight distance limitations caused by adjacent retaining wall, separating cross walks from U turn zones and restoring signal functionality.
4. Discussion
Generally, the results demonstrate the surrogate safety measures provide valuable additional information for intersection safety assessment

. While EPDO reflects severity of historical crashes where as TTC and PET CAPTURE real time traffic interactions and potential future crash risks, the combined use of crash data and surrogate safety measures offers a more generalized understanding of intersection safety performance
The results indicate that kotebe college junction should be prioritized for safety enhancements due to its high crash severity whereas kara junction should receive proactive safety interventions because of higher conflict frequency and critical TTC and PET conditions. This study supports the use of surrogate safety measures rather than depend on crash data solely
