Using data from vehicle-bicycle crashes in the state of Florida over a three-year period (from 2019 to 2021 inclusive), separate yearly models of bicyclist-injury severities (with possible outcomes of severe injury, minor injury, and no visible injury) were estimated using a random parameters logit approach with possible heterogeneity in the means and variances of random parameters. Likelihood ratio tests were conducted to examine the overall stability of model estimates across the studied years as well as day/night differences, and a comparison of partially constrained and unconstrained temporal modeling approaches was undertaken. A wide range of variables potentially affecting resulting bicyclist injury severities in vehicle/bicycle crashes was considered including bicyclist and vehicle driver information, vehicle features, roadways and environmental conditions, temporal characteristics, and roadway features. The findings show statistically significant injury-severity differences between daytime and nighttime before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Out-of-sample simulation results suggest that improving the visibility of bicyclist through mandated reflectivity, improved roadway illumination, undertaking public awareness campaigns relating to nighttime bicyclist safety, and vulnerable road user detection sensors in vehicles can all contribute to substantially improving nighttime bicyclist safety.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 100301"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49729326","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}

Given such significant safety concerns, a number of earlier studies examined the critical factors contributing towards run-off-road crash severity outcomes, mostly by using the information compiled in the official crash database. However, the official crash databases are less likely to have detailed information on driver behavior (errors/expectations) and roadway environment (roadway geometry and roadside attributes). This study aims to investigate the effects of design consistency measures on run-off-road crash severity mechanisms by applying a random parameters hierarchical ordered Probit model. This study contributes towards existing safety literature by demonstrating a complementary approach to capturing the effects of driver behavior and heterogeneity in roadway environment on run-off-road crash severity outcome through the composite measures of design consistency indices and cosmopolite measures of roadside hazard type variables. Specifically, 17 different functional forms of design consistency indices are developed to capture the behavioral factors from the road-geometric changes in developing run-off-road crash severity models. Further, in examining the effect of different types of the roadside environment on run-off-road crash severity outcomes, seven roadside hazard type variables are generated as a composite function of roadside object type and clear zone (lateral distance to roadside object). The empirical analysis of this study involves a two-step modelling approach - in the first step, the decision tree algorithm is applied to identify the higher-order interaction among independent variables, and in the second step, crash severity models are developed by employing several econometric approaches. The hybrid models are estimated by employing four econometric frameworks, which include Ordered Probit, Hierarchical Ordered Probit, Random Parameters Ordered Probit, and Random parameters Hierarchical Ordered Probit models. The run-off-road crash severity models are estimated by using crash data collected from the State of Queensland, Australia, for the years 2015 through 2019.

However, a challenging issue of traffic conflict-based crash risk modeling is the selection of an appropriate sample size. Reliable conflict-based crash risk models typically require a large sample size which is always very difficult to collect. Further, when choosing a sample size, the bias-variance trade-off of model estimation is a constant concern. This study proposes an approach for identifying an adequate sample size for conflict-based crash risk estimation models. The appropriate sample size is determined by checking the model convergence and its goodness-of-fit. A quantitative approach for objectively testing the model goodness-of-fit is developed. Both the trace plots and the variation tendencies of Brooks-Gelman-Rubin statistics of parameter simulation chains are examined to inspect the model convergence. A graphical method is also used to check the model goodness of fit. If the model has not converged or fits poorly, then additional samples are required. The proposed method was applied to identify the adequate sample size for a Bayesian hierarchical extreme value theory (EVT) block maxima (BM) model using traffic conflict data from four signalized intersections in the city of Surrey, British Columbia. The indicator, modified time to collision (MTTC), was used to delineate traffic conflicts. A series of stationary and non-stationary Bayesian hierarchical BM models were developed using the cycle-level maximums of negated MTTC. The adequate sample sizes of stationary and non-stationary Bayesian hierarchical BM models were determined separately. Further, two methods of increasing the sample size (i.e., extending the observation period and combining data from different sites) were compared in terms of goodness-of-fit as well as crash estimate accuracy and precision. The results show that for both stationary and non-stationary models, the sample size used is adequate for model convergence and goodness-of-fit. Moreover, adding covariates to the stationary Bayesian hierarchical BM model does not affect the size of the required sample. Extending the observation period outperforms combining data from different sites in terms of goodness-of-fit as well as crash estimation accuracy and precision of non-stationary models. This is likely related to the existence of unmeasured factors that could impair model estimation and inference when merging data from several sites to augment the number of samples. Overall, the findings of this study can be applied to examine whether available data is adequate and the amount of additional data required for producing reliable statistical inference.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100281"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49760786","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}

Recent advances in safety evaluation techniques such as using extreme value theory (EVT) models provided the opportunity to use traffic conflict data obtained from road user trajectories to estimate real time safety metrics. These metrics can aggregate crash risk along a certain route based on the duration of exposure to unsafe road conditions. This paper applies a Bayesian hierarchal extreme value theory model to trajectories obtained from a drone dataset from Athens, Greece, to develop a safest route algorithm capable of informing users about the safest route in an urban network in real time. The study area selected consists of a rectangular grid made up of 102 signalized and unsignalized intersections. The dynamic crash risk for each link in the network was obtained and used to identify the safest route between any origin–destination pair and the corresponding fastest route. The safest routes were then compared to the fastest routes and were found to be 22% safer on average, resulting in an 11% increased travel time. Moreover, the safest route was identical to the fastest route in 23% of the origin–destination pairs analyzed and had an average similarity of 54% in terms of links. Recognizing the trade-off between safety and mobility, a multi-objective routing methodology was proposed which balances travel time and crash risk using a weighted preference for safety. This work has considerable potential for improving the safety of all road users and may also be used for fleet routing applications as part of multi-objective routing systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47520,"journal":{"name":"Analytic Methods in Accident Research","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100277"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44166443","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}

However, the effect of factors affecting the injury-severities resulting from crashes involving different types of traffic barriers may be different. This paper provides an empirical assessment of the performance of ordered and unordered discrete outcome models for examining the impact of exogenous factors determining the driver injury-severity of crashes involving two types of traffic barriers in mountainous regions: w-beam barriers and cable barriers. For the ordered framework, the alternative modeling approaches include: the generalized ordered logit (GOL) and the random thresholds random parameters generalized ordered logit model (RTRPGOL). Whereas, for the unordered framework, the alternative modeling approaches include: the multinomial logit (MNL), the random parameters multinormal logit (RPL), and the random parameters multinormal logit model with heterogeneity in the means and variances (RPLHMV). Using injury-severity data from 2016 to 2019 for mountainous regions in Guiyang City, China, three injury-severity categories are determined as outcome variables: severe injury (SI), minor injury (MI), and no injury (NI), while the potential influencing factors including drivers-, vehicles-, road-, and environment-specific characteristics are statistically analyzed. The model estimation results show: (a) that the MNL model statistically outperforms the GOL model in terms of goodness-of-fit measures; (b) the RTRPGOL model is statistically superior to the MNL and RPL models; and (c) the RPLHMV model is statistically superior to the RTRPGOL model, and therefore the preferred option among the model alternatives. To that end, the RPLHMV model is leveraged to quantitatively describe the impact of explanatory variables on the driver injury-severity and explore how these factors change over the years (between 2016–2017 and 2018–2019). The results further show that the factors affecting driver injury severities and the effects of significant factors on injury severity probabilities change across traffic barrier crash models and across years. In addition, the results of the temporal effects analysis show that some variables present relative temporal stability, which is important for formulating long-term strategies to enhance traffic safety on mountainous roads. Most importantly, the effects of the explanatory factors that exhibit relative temporal stability are found to vary across traffic barrier crashes. For example, trucks, daylight, curved section segments, and high-speed limit (greater than 55 mph) are some of the factors that have opposite effects between traffic barrier crash models.

To collect high-quality trajectory data, the CARRS-Q advanced driving simulator was used. Thirty-two licenced young drivers were exposed to the sudden braking of the lead vehicle in their lane in three driving conditions: baseline (no phone conversation), handheld, and hands-free.

While the decision tree model identifies a <em>priori</em> relationship among main effects, the random parameter model captures unobserved heterogeneity and correlation between random parameters. The modelling results reveal that mobile phone distraction impairs response time behaviour for the majority of drivers. However, some drivers tend to respond earlier whilst being distracted, suggesting that the perceived risk of mobile use might have led to an early response, indicating their risk compensation behaviour.

Moreover, how different drivers perceive and react to the same information needs to be explored to understand the differential effects of a connected environment on car-following behaviour. As such, this study investigated the effects of the traditional and connected environments on car-following crash risk using traffic conflict techniques. Data were collected using the CARRS-Q advanced driving simulator, whereby 78 participants performed a car-following task in two randomised driving conditions: baseline (without driving aids) and connected environment (with driving aids). The safety–critical event in the car-following scenario was the leader’s hard braking, for which participants received advance information, besides several other driving aids. Modified time-to-collision was used as the traffic conflict measure for characterising rear-end crash risk and modelled using a generalised extreme value (GEV) model in the Bayesian framework. This model incorporated driving-related factors and driver demographics to address the non-stationarity issue of traffic extremes. Results reveal that the car-following crash risk is significantly reduced in the connected environment. Further, using the developed model, separate GEV distributions were estimated for each individual driver, providing insights into the heterogeneous effects of the connected environment on crash risk.
