Road crashes and field rainfall data: mathematical modeling for the Brazilian mountainous highway BR-376/PR

Recent studies analyze the influence of rainfall on traffic crashes, indicating that precipitation intensity is an important factor, for modeling crashes occurrence. This research presents a relationship between daily-basis traffic crashes and precipitation, from 2014 to 2018, in a rural mountainou...
