Researchers have used various types of fixed and dynamic segmentation in crash frequency models for safety studies on rural roads. The conducted research indicates that dynamic segmentation provides better results in rural roads safety and especially in the analysis of factors affecting the frequency of high crash potential road segments. Generally, the purpose of analyzing the safety of rural road segments is to facilitate the design of effective and efficient strategies to improve safety by determining the effective variables related to crashes for the users of these type of roads. Therefore, the aim of this research is to present a spatial approach based on GIS for dynamic segmentation of rural two-lane two-way roads and determine the factors affecting the frequency of crashes in these segments, emphasizing on road geometry and weather variables. For this purpose, the Poisson model with random parameter was applied to the Lushan-Qazvin two-lane two-way crash data from 2010-2015 based on the dynamic parts of the proposed segmentation phase. The results, while proving the effectiveness of the proposed segmentation method in the investigated segments, showed that two-way divided median, location of the crash, roadway conditions, clear weather, driver's haste and unnecessary acceleration, and vehicle crash with a fixed object, respectively, with 8.304. 4.763, 3.825, 1.909 and 1.205 marginal effects have the most effect on the frequency of crashes.
