Abstract
Bridges differ from surface streets and highways in terms of their physical properties and operational characteristics, which in turn, affect the risk of motor-vehicle crashes. This paper attempts to identify motor-vehicle crash patterns on Sutong Bridge and to compare differences between bridge-related crashes and all crashes. 459 crashes occurring on Sutong Bridge from May in 2008 to June in 2010 were collected and analyzed. Results reveal that bridge segment is involved in more fixed-object crashes and fewer rear-end crashes among total crash experience. And bridge-related crashes result in more serious consequences including higher fatality rate and longer crash duration.
