Although there have been a number of recent reviews on the use of traffic conflict techniques (TCTs), none have focused on the use of proximal surrogate indicators. This paper comprehensively reviews the development and application of proximal surrogate safety indicators to address this gap. There i...

The study presented in this paper investigated the possibility of using support vector machine (SVM) models for crash injury severity analysis. Based on crash data collected at 326 freeway diverge areas, a SVM model was developed for predicting the injury severity associated with individual crashes....

The primary objective of this study was to identify if the VISSIM simulation model and the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM) approach provided reasonable estimates for the traffic conflicts measured at signalized intersections. A total of 80h of traffic data and traffic conflicts data were co...

BACKGROUND: The global burden of road injuries is known to follow complex geographical, temporal and demographic patterns. While health loss from road injuries is a major topic of global importance, there has been no recent comprehensive assessment that includes estimates for every age group, sex an...

Road accidents are increasing worldwide and are causing millions of deaths each year. They impose significant financial and economic expenses on society. Existing research has mostly studied road accident prediction as a classification problem, which aims to predict whether a traffic accident may ha...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the contributing factors to serious casualty traffic crashes and their interdependency in China. Serious casualty crashes are defined as crashes that lead to more than 10 deaths. METHOD The data of serious casualty crashes between 2009 and 2013 were obtai...

This paper presents a spatial clustering method for macro-level traffic crash analysis based on open source point-of-interest (POI) data. Traffic crashes are discrete and non-negative events for short-time evaluation but can be spatially correlated with long-term macro-level estimation. Thus, the me...

Abstract To reduce injuries in road crashes, better understanding is needed between the relationship of injury severity and risk factors. This study seeks to identify the contributing factors affecting crash severity with broad considerations of driver characteristics, roadway features, vehicle type...

In this paper, a repairable system consisting of one unit and a single repairman is studied. Assume that the system after repair is not as good as new. Under this assumption, a bivariate replacement policy ( T, N ) , where T is the working age and N is the number of failures of the system is studied...

Abstract Unlike in developed countries where buses are a relatively safe mode of transport, there is a significant safety concern in many developing countries like Bangladesh regarding transit buses. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the factors contributing to the number or severity of bus cr...

Pedestrian fatalities on national highways in Bangladesh account for about 47% of all pedestrian fatalities; therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors involved. Binary logistic models were calibrated with crash data from 1998 to 2006 maintained by the Accident Research Institute of Ban...

The COVID-19 epidemic caused global roads and highway networks to be disrupted to historic proportions. While the world is focused on combating COVID-19 pandemic, people are still dying and being injured as a result of traffic collisions on the highways owing to movement restrictions. Although the i...
