Abstract
This study aims to develop a real-time crash prediction model for individual lane-changing (LC) maneuvers by considering interactions between the LC vehicle and surrounding vehicles. Vehicle trajectories prior to real-world LC crashes are extracted for modeling. Risky events are identified based on the remaining distance between vehicles to develop Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions. Driving-related factors, such as the relative distance, speed, and acceleration between vehicles during the LC maneuver, are considered to address the non-stationary issue. A real-time LC crash prediction model is established by quantifying the differences between non-stationary GEV distributions under LC crash and non-crash conditions. The results show that incorporating driving-related factors significantly improves the goodness-of-fit of GEV distribution. Our model shows satisfactory LC crash prediction performance, with the Area Under the Curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.92 to 0.98. The proposed model improves by an average of 75% over traditional Time-to-Collision (TTC), and 49% over Two-Dimensional TTC.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research: Part C (TR_C) is dedicated to showcasing high-quality, scholarly research that delves into the development, applications, and implications of transportation systems and emerging technologies. Our focus lies not solely on individual technologies, but rather on their broader implications for the planning, design, operation, control, maintenance, and rehabilitation of transportation systems, services, and components. In essence, the intellectual core of the journal revolves around the transportation aspect rather than the technology itself. We actively encourage the integration of quantitative methods from diverse fields such as operations research, control systems, complex networks, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Join us in exploring the intersection of transportation systems and emerging technologies to drive innovation and progress in the field.
