However, since the traditional hotspot identification (HSID) rests on the yearly-aggregated crashes, two problems appear: locations that become unsafe at specific short periods may remain unidentified as they may not show noticeable crash counts, and results of the problem diagnosis analysis on hotspots’ crashes potentially contain a great amount of uncertainty. Even though researchers have recently added the dimension of time and analyzed accidents spatio-temporally to obtain more insights, the mentioned problems have not been addressed fully. Hence, this paper first suggests a new linear DBSCAN-based HSID method and demonstrates its acceptable performance by comparison with KDE+, the well-known clustering technique; Second, employing the proposed technique, the paper presents an algorithm for the spatial analysis of accidents through diverse time dimensions, which categorizes the risky locations based on their periodic reappearance. The tempo-categorization purpose is to enhance diagnosing causative risks by understanding their arising periods. The algorithm is tested using Allegheny highways crash data from 2014 to 2019. Results illustrate the contribution of the suggested method to problem diagnosis and detecting hidden unsafe points.","PeriodicalId":205624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131753499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes an improved deep learning framework with a self-made dataset to detect the unsafe behavior of seafarers on duty. In order to increase the detection speed, the improved Cross Stage Partial connections (CSP) module is proposed to replace the original CSP module in the neck network of traditional algorithm. The efficient channel attention (ECA) module is also introduced to the backbone network of conventional algorithm as the attention mechanism network. In addition, the learning and representation capacities of the improved deep learning framework are promoted by redesigning the sizes of anchor boxes. The experiment results show that the proposed framework outperforms traditional object detection algorithms (e.g., YOLOv5s, R-CNN) in detecting seafarers’ unsafe behaviors because of the much higher detection speed and detection accuracy.","PeriodicalId":205624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125726380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two Full Bayes (FB) macro-level models were applied to historical collision records of the City of Hamilton to identify the collision-prone zones and the key factors that contribute to collision occurrence in TAZs. Finally, a self-organizing map (SOM) deep learning model was developed to identify collision-prone zones for the two collision classes. The results showed that the SOM model identified collision-prone zones with a high accuracy that exceeded the traditional Bayesian approach, based on the developed consistency test. As for the total collisions, the SOM model revealed that intersection density is the most important factor in distinguishing between collision-prone and non-collision-prone zones, followed by the pedestrian network directness and the proportion of residential land uses. As for the collisions that involved pedestrian violations, intersection density was also found to be the most important factor, followed by the density of bike-share stations and parking lots in a TAZ. The results of this study could aid planners in designing pedestrian-friendly networks and develop specific recommendations to enhance safety in unsafe zones.","PeriodicalId":205624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126267580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses vehicle profile data to identify the key variables and develop prediction models for gate violations and examine the relationship between model accuracy and the key input variables. A data set of 256 vehicle-train events was collected at two HRGC testbeds in Lincoln, Nebraska. Among them, 76 events are gate violations, and 180 events are non-violations. Two tree-based ensemble techniques, the bootstrap forest and the boosted tree, were applied to the data set. It was found that once a vehicle is within 190 feet from the HRGC stop line, the model was approximately 80 percent accurate in predicting a gate violation. It was also found that as vehicles came closer to the HRGC, the prediction error decreased. With the advent of vehicle profile data collection, tree-based ensemble techniques are ideal for safety studies as they can utilize the highly non-linear vehicle profiles and relate these to safety surrogate metrics.","PeriodicalId":205624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126818668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
