Paul E. Green

Paul E. Green is assistant research scientist in the Vehicle Safety Analytics Group at UMTRI. Paul received a Ph.D. in biostatistics from the University of Michigan in 1995 specializing in the areas of categorical data analysis and Bayesian data analysis. In 1996, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at UMTRI and worked on models for analyzing crash rates for heavy trucks involved in fatal and nonfatal crashes.

Since returning to UMTRI in 2004, Paul’s research has focused on methods for analyzing crash data. He has been involved in the evaluation of state reporting of crash data to the MCMIS Crash file and in the prediction of nonfatal crashes for states based on the number of reported fatal crashes. Paul is also developing methods for evaluating the Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA 2010) measurement system implemented by FMCSA that will eventually replace the SafeStat system for monitoring the safety performance and compliance with FMCSRs of motor carriers operating on the nation’s highways. Paul has also been involved with the analysis of data related to the benefits of stability technologies for medium and heavy trucks. While not related to heavy trucks, Paul developed statistical models in the SHRP 2 project for assessing the validity of crash surrogates using naturalistic driving data. He is currently working on a project with Michelin to assess the association between tire properties and control/traction loss. Paul has a teaching appointment in the statistics department where he teaches mathematical statistics and topics in biostatistics.
