Modeling Automated Vehicle Crashes with a Focus on Vehicle At-Fault, Collision Type, and Injury Outcome
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Automated vehicle (AV) technology is expected to make roads safer. However, until recently only a handful of studies could test such hypotheses due to limited access to testing data. This study contributes to the literature ...
Assessment of Methodological Alternatives for Modeling the Spatiotemporal Crossing Compliance of Pedestrians at Signalized Midblock Crosswalks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: At the midblock crosswalks with either Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) or Traffic Control Signals (TCSs), pedestrians’ crossing compliance can be considered in terms of the space (crossing location with respect to stripes) ...
Exploring Diversity of Activities on Shared-Use Paths: Factors and Implications for Planning and Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increased need for active transportation facilities coupled with the limited funding and space have influenced the prioritizing of shared-use paths (SUPs). Unlike other activity-specific facilities, the SUP can accommodate ...
Impact of Abandoned and Disabled Vehicles on Freeway Incident Duration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is common to find a vehicle left on the shoulder, median, gore area, or on the travel lane for certain period of time. Experience from the state of Tennessee has shown that 78% of the freeway traffic-related incidents ...
Safety Evaluation of High-Occupancy Toll Facilities Using Bayesian Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: High-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes have increasingly been adopted as a strategy to reduce congestion. While numerous studies have focused on the operations of HOT facilities, little is known about their safety performance. ...
Prediction of Traffic Incident Clearance Duration Using Neural Network for Multimodal Data Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic incidents adversely affect the safety and mobility of our transportation network. As such, accurate prediction of incident duration is critical in developing strategies and deploying resources to quickly clear ...
