This technical memorandum utilizes the New Jersey Crash Database and analysis tools developed by DVRPC to examine trends and summarize crash data on county routes and higher functioning roadways in the New Jersey counties of the DVRPC region. Crash analysis is a standard component of most transportation studies undertaken at DVRPC. The work in this memorandum, and the cluster finder tool that was developed and employed for this work, helps to expedite the process of identifying crash concentrations which is especially useful in corridor studies. The major findings of this analysis are the crash clusters identified on each route. These crash concentrations, identified in State Route Identifier and milepost fashion, have a variety of applications. They can used to develop a baseline of priority crash locations; they can be used in tandem with existing project planning data, and can be monitored over time as new crash data becomes available. This report, along with the database tools and corresponding, Geographic Information System files, will be distributed to DVRPC's member counties so that they may monitor crash trends locallyGeographic Area Covered: Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.
Key Words: Crash data, crash cluster, crash summary, analysis, state routes, interstate routes, toll routes, US routes, New Jersey Department of Transportation, Burlington County, Camden County, Gloucester County, Mercer County
