This study explores the impacts of various traffic control devices and road conditions on road safety at interchange exits based on driving behavior data from navigation software. The traffic order index (TOI) based on driving behavior and speed variation is used to evaluate road safety. The general safety characteristics and partitioned safety characteristics of interchange exit sections for different traffic control devices and under different road conditions were described, and a structural equation model (SEM) was constructed to observe the influences of the traffic control devices, road conditions, congestion degree, and time on road safety. The results show that traffic control devices (the number of warning signs, number of advance exit signs and complexity of diagrammatic guide signs) and road conditions (the number of lanes and merging conflicts within 500 m) have significant influences on the road safety of interchange exits. Road conditions have the greatest impact on the safety of interchange exits, followed by the congestion index, traffic control devices, and time. The results could help traffic management departments reconstruct or rehabilitate traffic control devices and enable reasonable road planning at interchange exits. The safety evaluation method for traffic control devices and road conditions based on driving behavior data collected from navigation software could be further used on other roads.","PeriodicalId":46672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77933372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The severity of work zone crashes is associated with multiple contributing factors such as the roadway’s geometric design features, temporal variables, environmental conditions, types of vehicles, and driver behaviors. For this study, we acquired and analyzed three years (2016–2018) of work zone crash data from the state of New Jersey. We investigated the performance of several machine learning methods, including Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Catboost, Light GBM, and XGBoost to predict the type of injury severity resulting from work zone crashes. To evaluate models’ performances, some statistical evaluation parameters such as accuracy, precision, and recall scores were calculated. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the impact of the most influential factors in work zone-related crashes. Random Forest and Catboost outperformed the other models in terms of predicting fatal, major, and minor injuries. According to the sensitivity analysis, crash type and speed limit were the most significantly associated variables with crash severity. The findings of this study are expected to facilitate the identification of appropriate countermeasures for reducing the severity of work zone crashes.","PeriodicalId":46672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89697419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some studies found that higher speed is associated with a higher number of crashes, whereas other studies found the opposite result. Some of the critical issues in this research problem result from study design, the definition of operating speed measures, types and granularity of operating speed measures, spatial correlation, and design standards of different roadway facilities. The road safety profession will benefit greatly from informative research on the impact of vehicle operating speed, roadway design elements, and traffic volume on crash outcomes. This study investigated the speed-crash association in both annual and daily level datasets to determine how roadway characteristics interact with various speed measures to impact the likelihood of crash occurrences on both annual and daily levels. For annual models, the average operating speed is positively associated with both fatal and injury and property damage only (PDO) crashes. However, for daily models, this association is mostly negative and insignificant. The standard deviation of operating speed is positively associated with crash occurrences for both daily and annual models. The findings of this study can provide additional insights into the speed-crash association literature.","PeriodicalId":46672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76099067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was calculated and the results show that there is a moderate correlation between the driving failure probability of the selected road segment and the traffic accident rate. Four regression prediction models for both two-lane and four-lane roads were established considering the probability of driving failure and four significant variables including segment length, annual average daily traffic volume, speed limit, and curve radius. The results show that the established regression prediction models can fit accident data well.

Two likelihood ratio (LR) tests are firstly performed to validate the struck vehicle group variations, and then two separate random thresholds random parameters hierarchical ordered probit (RRHOP) models (Model 1 and Model 2) are established to capture unobserved heterogeneity. The results of LR test show significant differences in the effects of factors included in each model. Moreover, the model results suggest that SUVs, vans, and large trucks as striking vehicles are significant related to injury severity in both models with different effects. Factors such as speeding related, pickup, model year (struck vehicle), disabled damage, adverse weather, speed limit (≥60 mile/h), and young driver (struck vehicle) are found to be statistically significant in only model 1.

The purpose of this study is to explore to what extent seasonal (i.e., winter vs. non-winter) and monthly weather variations impact lane departure crashes on rural Maine roads. We used a negative binomial model with panel data to analyze monthly crashes on Interstates, minor arterials, major collectors, and minor collectors from 2015 to 2019 for winter and non-winter periods. The data include monthly average daily traffic, geometric characteristics, and weather variables. The research results indicate that the seasonal variability as reflected in various weather variables significantly impact the frequency of lane-departure crashes during the winter period.

Results from the ordered logit regression model analysis demonstrate that the data fit well with our theoretical model. Risk preference and risk perception both predict risky driving behaviors with risk perception having greater predictability, and their interaction significantly affects risky driving behaviors when gender and age variables were added to the model separately. Gender and driving experience moderate the influence of risk perception on risky driving behaviors. The predictive effect of risk perception on risky driving behaviors was more significant for females than males. The effect of risk perception on risky driving behaviors was more pronounced for drivers with 1-3 years of driving experience compared with others.

Due to the lack of basic risk formation theory, previous studies focussed on the application of complex models to improve the accuracy of prediction, ignoring the interpretation of variables, while the traditional statistical analysis method can interpret variables, but the prediction accuracy is poor, which falls into a dilemma of trade-off. In this study, based on the traffic flow information of elevated expressway, an improved genetic programming (GP) approach with elite gene bank is applied to obtain an explicit traffic flow crash risk function to solve the above trade-off problem. Logistic regression and backward-propagation neural network combined with partial dependency plot were used as baseline methods to examine the interpretability and accuracy of GP. It is found that GP prediction model has been proved to be able to select important variables and solve the trade-off dilemma, which has good interpretability and accuracy. The results show that crash risk in the traffic flow mainly comes from the traffic volume, speed of the upstream section, and the speed of the current section. Furthermore, the error of GP comes from the unobserved heterogeneity and crash mechanism theory is proposed.","PeriodicalId":46672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81092342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The estimated models are based on available police-reported crash data that include a wide variety of factors related to the spatial, temporal, and weather characteristics as well as vehicle characteristics, traffic information, harmful events, roadway attributes, and driver characteristics. The model estimates show that there were many statistically significant factors determining driver-injury severities resulting from asleep/fatigued driving, and that the effect of these factors on driver-injury severities has changed significantly over time, with many explanatory variables producing temporally shifting marginal effects. While asleep/fatigued driving crashes remain a serious safety concern, the empirical findings indicate (using model prediction simulations) that the resulting injury severities in crashes involving asleep/fatigued driving have declined between 2014 and 2019, likely reflecting the effectiveness of safety campaigns and ongoing improvements in vehicle safety technologies and highway safety features.","PeriodicalId":46672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transportation Safety & Security","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79683811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two-level mixed-effects linear regression models were calibrated to assess the contributing factors that affect lane-changing durations, which revealed that different vehicle kinematics, traffic, driver, and roadway characteristics, as well as weather conditions combined with other factors, were significant in the calibrated models for both driver types. The results revealed that the lane-changing duration associated with heavy rain decreased with a higher speed limit for aggressive drivers. Furthermore, the lane-changing duration associated with light/moderate rain decreased with the number of lanes for non-aggressive drivers.
