From page 24...
... 24 C h a p t e r 6 extreme Value analysis Another way to analyze crash surrogates is in terms of the underlying continuous measurements rather than from discrete surrogate events. This offers a possible way to estimate the probability of crash or near crash from the frequency of small crash margins.
From page 25...
... 25 Figure 6.2 shows the fit of a GEV distribution to the minimum TTEC data. The data are plotted on extreme value probability paper.
From page 26...
... 26 particular points. It therefore seems unlikely on the one hand that further analysis will establish meaningful trends of crash and surrogate event locations within individual segments.
