... 36 SPFEDGE DERIVATION Many model constructs were explored. This research considered speed as a major design constraint, however, it was revealed that speed does not present a clear trend toward predicting ROR crash frequency.
From page 37...
... 37 Models were developed by crash edge and are documented below. For some crashes, the edge could not be determined, however, it was important to maintain "unknown edge" crashes in the counts of total frequency.
