1 Category 1 includes experts with no experience in road safety data analysis who have related expertise in some sort of treatment/program evaluation that requires the statistical analysis/modeling of time series and/or cross-sectional data. Category 2 includes experts in Transportation Engineering and/or Statistics with extensive seminal research in statistical analysis of crash data but who have not been involved directly in CMF or SPF development. Category 3 includes experts who have worked in road safety evaluations related to driver and enforcement programs.
