Replication Data for: Impact of Rest Area Closures on Fatigue-Related Highway Crashes

the data, we collected in this project were collected from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and Idaho Department of Transportation (IDT). The data were collected via requesting the crash data. For example, for WSDOT, the request is submitted via the Public Disclosure Request. The link is below: https://wsdot.mycusthelp.com/WEBAPP/_rs/(S(ll4rm04ddkqyjcdcanbmf01t))/RequestLogin.aspxsSessionID=&rqst=1&rid=14331&target=YpURA3m6cNU+N1K9kEqQhqz8yC2ZLKNdSdB4wnowVJ6/xD6YjS/oAhx8mHfjX2kILyedtFWcaxhGhI8edhYxQsQetu9mYKMX9XdJFeI7E2ROV4yH3EunFpG0fHiwoJiy. The “All Data and Data Analysis” file includes all the data collected as well as data analysis conducted in this project. The data processing is pretty straight forward as 1) counting total number of crashes, 2) counting fatigue-related crashes, then calculating crash rate per month and crash rate per month per 10,000 AADT on the road section. These crash rates were compared before, during, and after the Rest Area facility shut down.
