Among the three aspects of lane-changing behaviour—decision-making, execution, and impact—the lane-changing impact has been comparatively underexplored in the literature, which is disproportionate to its importance. A lack of proper understanding of lane-changing impact may lead to inaccurate planning and interpretation of mixed traffic stream comprising both autonomous and human-driven vehicles. Motivated by this research gap, the current study investigates the lane-changing impact of autonomous vehicles on the immediate follower using the publicly available Waymo Open Dataset. Human-driven vehicle lane-changing data are also extracted from the same database and used for comparison. Lane-changing impact on traffic flow efficiency and safety is examined through the speed reduction of the follower in the target lane and deceleration rate to avoid a collision for the same follower, respectively. A correlated random parameters linear regression model is employed to assess the speed reduction of the follower as a function of lane-change duration, lag gap, lane-changer speed, and a dummy variable indicating whether the lane-changer is an autonomous vehicle or a human-driven vehicle. The results reveal that lane changes executed by autonomous vehicles may cause greater or lesser speed reductions for the follower compared to those executed by human-driven vehicles, which could be attributed to the heterogeneous behaviour of followers perceiving and responding differently to autonomous vehicle lane-changes compared to human-driven ones. Further, the block maxima and peak over threshold models are developed to estimate crash risk for the follower in the target lane using a deceleration rate to avoid a collision conflict measure. The results suggest that the risk of a collision increases substantially when the lane-changer is an autonomous vehicle. This elevated risk may be associated with drivers’ lack of trust in autonomous vehicles and traffic dynamics, reflecting self-inflicting hard deceleration to avoid potential collisions. Overall, this study highlights the heterogeneous impacts of lane-changing by autonomous vehicles on the immediate follower, emphasising the need for tailored models that accurately capture the dynamics of surrounding traffic behaviour. The findings will be helpful to road safety engineers and policymakers in planning mixed traffic with the safe integration of autonomous vehicles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 100388"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069979","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}

While conflict-based safety assessments using traffic conflict measures effectively estimate crash risk, they often overlook the heterogeneity of different motorized and non-motorized road users. Conversely, field-based theories account for road user heterogeneity, yet their application in crash risk assessment, specifically evaluating pedestrian crash risk, and particularly by severity level using real-world data, remains underexplored. This study introduces a novel application of physics-informed risk force theory for assessing pedestrian crash risk by injury severity, utilizing facility-based video data at signalized intersections. The study derives risk forces that encompass pedestrian and vehicle heterogeneity as a nearness-to-collision component and vehicle impact speed as a severity component. Stationary and non-stationary extreme value models, incorporating exogenous traffic parameters at the signal cycle level, were applied to 72 h of video data collected from three signalized intersections in Queensland, Australia. The non-stationary univariate extreme value model with risk force as a measure of nearness-to-collision reliably estimated total crash frequency compared to historical crash records. In addition, the bivariate extreme value model with risk force and impact speed reasonably predicted pedestrian crashes by severity levels. The results also indicate that an increased volume of interacting pedestrians and left-turning vehicles elevates the likelihood of total and severe crashes. The proposed pedestrian crash risk assessment framework offers a unified and efficient proactive approach that can enhance automated safety analysis of traffic facilities, thereby assisting road authorities in real-time safety management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 100382"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143591645","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}

The flexible GB2 distribution was harnessed to model the skewed and heavy-tailed response variable, while the random parameters were specified to capture the unobserved heterogeneity.

Specifically, offshore and inevitable accidents, fishing transport vessels, double-trawl vessels with mechanical failures, wide-hulled vessels, and favorable sea conditions were associated with greater economic loss. Special attention should also be paid to nighttime accidents involving steel-hulled fishing transport vessels, as this accident type emerged to result in greater loss during the pandemic lockdown period.

The majority of these earlier studies tested time-varying effects of exogenous variables by crash year. However, there might be variability in the variable effects within a year, while the same effect might carry over in some or all parts of the preceding years. Towards that end, in this study, we propose a flexible framework to identify when the time-varying effect is likely to occur (the onset of temporal variation) and how long such time-varying effect lasts (duration of temporal variation) in the model estimates. In the study design, we assume that the onset of temporal variation can be any quarter of a year under consideration, while the time-varying effect can continue over different quarters after the onset of temporal variation in a variable effect. The injury severity model is estimated by using Correlated Random Parameter Generalized Ordered Logit formulation with piecewise linear functions. The empirical analysis is demonstrated by employing active traveler (pedestrian and bicyclist) crash data from Queensland, Australia for the years 2015 through 2020. The estimation results are further augmented by computing elasticity effects. The results indicate that the time-varying effects are likely to be different across years for several variables, while for other variables, the onset of time-varying effects could be different than the start of a year. Such flexibility in model specification is likely to have significant implications for devising and implementing effective countermeasures since it allows us to understand how road traffic injuries are evolving over time and when a new road safety issue might be arising.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100362"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699737","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}

Previous research has assessed drivers’ visual adaptation rather than variations in vehicle control under tunnel transition perturbations. In this study, a sample entropy method was used to measure the safety–critical duration of speed control events at tunnel entrances and thereby reveal the participants’ speed adaptation and recovery performance under tunnel transition perturbations. Two key metrics—model invalidation time and performance recovery time—were introduced, and an uncorrelated grouped random parameters hazard-based duration model was developed. Road grade, road curvature, income, and time having held a license were positively associated with model invalidation time, while a history of accidents in the past 12 months was negatively associated with model invalidation time. In addition, road grade, road curvature, and income had heterogeneous effects on model invalidation time. Moreover, a history of accidents in the past 12 months moderated the relationship between road grade and model invalidation time. Furthermore, road curvature, average annual mileage, and sleep deprivation significantly influenced performance recovery time, while road grade and non-fatigue condition had heterogeneous effects on performance recovery time. Overall, this study demonstrated that the participants’ personal characteristics and experiences significantly shaped the development of their internal models, and that their current status and perception had a substantial influence on their performance recovery under tunnel transition perturbations. These insights enhance understanding of the mechanisms of drivers’ motor control under tunnel transition perturbations and will therefore enable improvement of road traffic design and safety management at tunnel entrances.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100371"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143103716","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}

Existing methods rely on surrogate safety measures tailored to specific interactions (e.g., car-following, side-swiping, or path-crossing) and require varying thresholds in different traffic conditions. This variation leads to inconsistencies and limited adaptability of conflict detection in evolving traffic environments, particularly as the integration of autonomous driving systems adds complexity. Consequently, there is an increasing need for consistent detection of traffic conflicts across interaction contexts. To address this need, we propose a unified probabilistic approach in this study. The proposed approach establishes a unified framework of traffic conflict detection, where traffic conflicts are formulated as context-dependent extreme events of road user interactions. The detection of conflicts is then decomposed into a series of statistical learning tasks: representing interaction contexts, inferring proximity distributions, and assessing extreme collision risk. The unified formulation accommodates diverse hypotheses of traffic conflicts and the learning tasks enable data-driven analysis of factors such as motion states of road users, environment conditions, and participant characteristics. Jointly, this approach supports consistent and comprehensive evaluation of the collision risk emerging in road user interactions. We demonstrate the proposed approach by experiments using real-world trajectory data. A unified metric for indicating conflicts is first trained with lane-change interactions on German highways, and then compared with existing metrics using near-crash events from the U.S. 100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study. Our results show that the unified metric provides effective collision warnings, generalises across distinct datasets and traffic environments, covers a broad range of conflict types, and captures a long-tailed distribution of conflict intensity. In summary, this study provides an explainable and generalisable approach that enables traffic conflict detection across varying interaction contexts. The findings highlight its potential to enhance the safety assessment of traffic infrastructures and policies, improve collision warning systems for autonomous driving, and deepen the understanding of road user behaviour in safety–critical interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100369"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143103714","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}

With the proposed approach, the functional representation method is adopted to capture the underlying driver behavior in response to warning messages and address issues of irregularly spaced observations and measurement errors; the results of the functional principal component analysis with the bootstrap-enhanced Kaiser-Guttman method reveal important patterns in driver response behaviors; and a nonparametric functional varying coefficient regression model, considering vehicle initial motions and drivers’ acceleration styles, is established.

The results suggest that the treatment effect of the warning messages is time-dependent, initially increasing before progressively decreasing over time. Driver responses can be decomposed into several phases at the 95 % confidence level, including reaction time (1.3 s), brake adjustment time (1.3 s), progressive braking duration (2.7 s), and effective treatment duration (4.0 s). The time-dependent bootstrap confidence interval confirms driver heterogeneity in these distinct phases.

This paper aims to provide an empirical assessment of the impact of underreporting issue using a hybrid approach in estimating injury severity for single-vehicle motorcycle crashes. Unlike traditional machine learning methods that oversample the minority class (the category with the fewer observations such as fatal and severe injuries), the present study oversamples the majority class (i.e. minor injuries), which are often underreported in crash datasets, thus providing a fresh perspective on this issue. Afterwards, random parameter models with heterogeneity in means and variances were applied. The results of this study, as supported by the likelihood ratio tests, indicate that the key variables influencing motorcyclists’ injury severities remain consistent across both original and oversampled data models. Specifically, crashes occurring during slowing down or stopping are associated with lower injury severity, whereas negotiating a right turn increases the probability of severe injuries. Interestingly, crashes that occur on dry pavements are associated with higher injury severity when compared to wet pavements, likely due to rider behavior adjustments in adverse weather conditions to compensate for the risk. Overall, the oversampled models have a significantly lower marginal effects values compared to the original model’s marginal effects. This study provides a foundation for further examination of underreporting issue in crash injury severity modelling and also highlights the need to capture the dynamics of crash injuries suggesting that alternative approaches could improve the understanding and hence road safety management.
