The document summarizes a dissertation by Hoang H. Dao from Illinois Institute of Technology from July 2016 on developing a new methodology for improved vehicle crash predictability on highways that incorporates more contributing factors and conducts predictions at a network level. The methodology was applied in two computational experiments using Illinois and Chicago crash data and was found to outperform existing methods from the Highway Safety Manual and Empirical Bayesian approach. Future work is suggested to continue refining the new predictive methodology.
