Previous studies have mainly focused on associations between work zone configurations and crash occurrence. Although identification of associational relations helps us understand how work zones co-exist with crashes, it does not provide interventional guidelines necessary to improve safety of work zone operations. In this paper, a causal inference model based on the potential outcome framework is proposed to rigorously infer the causal effects of work zone presence on crash risks under various work zone configurations, along with robustness tests. In developing such a causal model, three research gaps are identified and addressed: (1) potential confounding bias due to unobservable roadway characteristics; (2) potential bias caused by unobserved variables in multisource data; and (3) lack of actually observed traffic data and weather information at the exact time when a crash occurred and lack of large-scale high-granular data. The proposed methodology is applied to 5,006 work zones in Pennsylvania from 2015 to 2017, and the results are validated via a series of robustness tests. The results show that the causal effect of a work zone on crash occurrence is significantly positive, especially on roadways with high traffic volumes, on long-distance work zones, and work zones conducted during daytime. It appears that conducting work zones during nighttime with the current deployment strategies on Pennsylvania state roads does not necessarily increase crash risks, but a work zone significantly increases crash risks during day time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100203"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213665721000476/pdfft?md5=a51708c73ae15bdb419a9fe0ea93cf6e&pid=1-s2.0-S2213665721000476-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137210501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PPP contracts ensure both greater participation of the private sector, as well as shared responsibility in project delivery. However, the interrelationship between various PPP approaches and the status of traffic safety during the project implementation has not been thoroughly explored to date. This paper seeks to provide new insights into the performance of different PPP contracting approaches by investigating them from the perspective of transportation safety. To that end, a statistical analysis is conducted in order to distinguish differences with respect to the characteristics of crashes that occurred during the contractual period of roadway projects. Using data from 645 PPP contracts that were executed across multiple States of the US between 1996 and 2011, count data models of crash frequencies are developed. To take into account the effect of unobserved factors on crash frequencies, correlated random parameter models with heterogeneity in the means are estimated. The results of the statistical analysis overall show that the determinants of crash frequencies and the magnitude of their impacts vary across PPP types. Contracts with higher cost, shorter duration, fewer lane-miles to be covered, more asset work activities, as well as contracts for roadways featuring better pavement and drainage conditions, low to medium AADT, and higher width of shoulder are more likely to observe fewer crashes. Additionally, several variables resulted in correlated random parameters (such as, contract size in lane-miles and truck percentage), with their distributional characteristics being affected by other exogenous factors (such as pavement characteristics), thus unveiling the heterogeneous patterns underpinning the safety performance of different PPP approaches.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100192"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41620940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes an Extreme Value Theory approach to examine and quantify mandatory lane-changing crash risk in the traditional and connected environments using traffic conflict techniques.

Using the </span>exceedance<span> statistics theory (also known as a Peak Over Threshold approach corresponding to Generalised Pareto distribution), three separate models corresponding to each driving condition were developed. Driving-related factors obtained from the driving simulator data, such as speeds, spacings, lag gaps, and remaining distances, as well as driver demographics, were used as input variables to these models. Relative crash risk analysis and characteristics of the fitted Generalised Pareto distributions were employed as indicators of safety. The findings suggest that the connected environment significantly reduces mandatory lane-changing crash risk compared with the baseline condition, with the highest risk reduction observed in the perfect communication condition. While the crash risk of the communication delay condition is higher than that of the perfect communication condition, it is lower than the baseline condition. Furthermore, a comparison of the developed model to its counterpart (i.e., Block Maxima approach) showed the better performance of the adopted approach. The findings of this study provide insights into the positive impact of the connected environment on the safety of mandatory lane-changing manoeuvres as well as confirm the veracity of Peak Over Threshold models in estimating crash risk using traffic conflict data.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100193"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43076049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This modeling approach extends the frontier of the conventional random parameters by capturing the likely correlations among the random parameters and relaxing the fixed nature of the means for the mixing distributions of the random parameters. The empirical analysis was based on a publicly available database of police crash reports in the UK using information from crashes occurred on urban and rural carriageways of Scotland between 2010 and 2018. The model estimation results show that various crash, road, location, weather, and driver or cyclist characteristics affect the injury severities for both categories of crashes. The heterogeneity-in-the-means structure allowed the incorporation of a distinct layer of heterogeneity in the statistical analysis, as the means of the random parameters were found to vary as a function of crash or driver/cyclist characteristics. The correlation of the random parameters enabled the identification of complex interactive effects of the unobserved characteristics captured by road, location and environmental factors. Overall, the determinants of injury severities are found to vary between single-bicycle and bicycle-motor vehicle crashes, whereas a number of common determinants are associated with different effects in terms of magnitude and sign. The comparison of the proposed methodological framework with less sophisticated ordered probit models demonstrated its relative benefits in terms of statistical fit, explanatory power and forecasting accuracy as well as its potential to capture unobserved heterogeneity to a greater extent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100181"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.amar.2021.100181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44913237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
