Digital Billboards & Traffic Safety Study
A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIGITAL BILLBOARDS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO SUBMITTED TO THE FOUNDATION FOR OUTDOOR ADVERTISING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (FOARE) 1850 M STREET, NW, SUITE 1040 WASHINGTON, DC 20036‐5821 BY ALBERT MARTIN TANTALA, SR., P.E. MICHAEL WALTER TANTALA, P.E. SUBMITTED ON JULY 7, 2007 STRUCTURAL GEOTECHNICAL SITE/CIVIL RISK MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURAL TRANSPORTATION CONSULTING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study is to examine the statistical relationship between certain digital billboards and traffic safety, and to determine if any correlation exists. For this study, a study area was identified, data was collected, and an analysis was made. Specifically, this study analyzes the traffic and accident data near seven existing, digital billboards on the 132.07 miles of Interstate routes in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. These seven billboards are located along Interstate routes I-77, I-90, I-271, and I-480. In July 2005, the seven billboards were converted to digital from conventional format; a total of 335 million vehicles drove by these seven billboards in that year. The analysis has two parts. In the first part, the temporal analysis, the occurrence of traffic accidents near the digital billboards is examined for an equal length of time before and after July 2005, for the purpose of establishing if traffic accidents occurred more or less frequently with the presence of the digital billboards. The second part, the spatial analysis, establishes statistical correlation coefficients between the digital billboards and accidents. Correlation coefficients are statistical measures of the “association” between two sets of data, for example, billboards and traffic accidents. -
