contents Roundabouts reduce severe crashes, yet risk patterns vary by conditions. This study analyzes 2017-2021 Ohio roundabout crashes using a two-step, explainable workflow. Cluster Correspondence Analysis (CCA) identifies co-occurring factors and yields four crash patterns. A tree-based severity model is then interpreted with SHAP to quantify drivers of injury within and across patterns. Results show higher severity when darkness, wet surfaces, and higher posted speeds coincide with fixed-object or angle events, and lower severity in clear, low-speed settings. Pattern-specific explanations highlight mechanisms at entries (fail-to-yield, gap acceptance), within multi-lane circulation (improper maneuvers), and during slow-downs (rear-end). The workflow links pattern discovery with case-level explanations, supporting site screening, countermeasure selection, and audit-ready reporting. The contribution to Information Systems is a practical template for usable XAI in public safety analytics.
