98 Guidelines for the Development and Application of Crash Modification Factors provides a framework for other researchers to follow to produce CMFs for individual and combined treatment effects. As additional information is generated on the individual and combined treatment effects, it will be possible to validate the recommended methods and modify the recommendations as needed.

Conclusions and Suggested Research 99 • The success of CMF research depends on how well one can predict what would have been the safety of units had they not been manipulated. Many methods for generating predictions are in use, but it is not clear which performs best in what circumstances.
