Bus-Involved Crash Severity in Multistate HSIS Data: A Comparative Statistical and Machine Learning Analysis with Cross-State Transferability Assessment

This study analyzes 31,395 bus-involved crashes from Illinois and Minnesota in the HSIS database using ordered logit and Random Forest models to identify severity risk factors.

This study analyzes 31,395 bus-involved crashes from Illinois and Minnesota in the HSIS database using ordered logit and Random Forest models to identify severity risk factors. Findings indicate pedestrian or bicyclist involvement, head-on collisions, multi-bus events, and dark-lighted conditions increase severity, while small buses and peak-hour crashes reduce it. Cross-state transferability tests show severity coefficients do not generalize between states, though the ranking of risk factors remains consistent, supporting state-specific modeling and targeted countermeasures for bus-pedestrian conflicts.
