EB is a well-known method for estimating the expected crash frequency of sites (e.g. road segments, intersections) and then prioritising these sites to identify a subset of high priority sites (e.g. hotspots) for additional safety audits/improvements. In contrast to the conventional EB approach, which employs a statistical model such as the negative binomial model (NB-EB) to model crash frequency data, the recently developed CGAN-EB approach uses a conditional generative adversarial network, a form of deep neural network, that can model any form of distributions of the crash frequency data. Previous research has shown that the CGAN-EB performs as well as or better than NB-EB, however that work considered only a small range of crash data characteristics and did not examine the spatial and temporal transferability. In this paper a series of simulation experiments are devised and carried out to assess the CGAN-EB performance across a wide range of conditions and compares it to the NB-EB. The simulation results show that CGAN-EB performs as well as NB-EB when conditions favor the NB-EB model (i.e. data conform to the assumptions of the NB model) and outperforms NB-EB in experiments reflecting conditions frequently encountered in practice (i.e. low sample mean crash rates, and when crash frequency does not follow a log-linear relationship with covariates). Also, temporal and spatial transferability of both approaches were evaluated using field data and both CGAN-EB and NB-EB approaches were found to have similar performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52282,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2046043023000084/pdfft?md5=2465256101f2d75ef4563dbd4d2c3a56&pid=1-s2.0-S2046043023000084-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45975797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complexity of the driving task in certain scenarios can influence the frequency and severity of crashes. Turning vehicles at intersections, for example, pose a collision risk for both motorized and non-motorized road users. The primary goal of this paper is to investigate the underlying factors which contribute to right-turn crashes at signalized intersections. Five years of crash data across Oregon were collected. A random parameters binary logit model was developed to predict the likelihood of whether a crash resulted in an injury or fatality. It was found that 14 variables were statistically significant in contributing to crash severity. The results obtained show that dry conditions and a posted speed limit of 30 mi/hr or 35 mi/hr contributed to a higher percentage of severe crashes, while fixed-object crashes and snowy weather had a higher likelihood of resulting in no injury crashes. Time-of-day (9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), lighting conditions (dusk), gender (male driver), crash type (vehicle–pedestrian and rear-end), and driver-level crash cause (driver sped too fast for conditions, driver did not yield right-of-way, and driver disregarded the traffic control device) all led to an increase in probability of a fatal or injury crash. The vehicle–pedestrian conflict variable had the highest impact on increasing the probability of such a crash while turning right at a signalized intersection. This observation is important because right turns are often permitted during the pedestrian walk and clearance indications, and often drivers do not give right-of-way to pedestrians.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52282,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2046043023000072/pdfft?md5=fd0e83f180d0ceabf126a939db8b49a5&pid=1-s2.0-S2046043023000072-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43694397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research proposes a method to systematically estimate truck vehicle emissions at the road segment level through localizing MOVES, a widely-used vehicle emission estimation model. We first design a protocol of converting percentage values of rotating speed and torque of engine to second-by-second vehicle speed to accommodate the differences between driving cycles adopted in local emission standards and those used in MOVES. In order to identify the best model year for estimating emissions under different local emission standards, we propose an approach of comparing emission outcomes rather than emission factors, considering the differences in unit used between MOVES and emission standards. To calculate road segment level emission factors, we weight original factors by integrating vehicle fleet information which contains the shares of vehicles under different emission standards and at different ages. We apply the approach to a major freight corridor area in Shanghai and calculate emission factors by air pollutant, average speed of road sections, and road type. Dynamic emissions of each road section per hour are calculated to reflect the spatial distribution of truck emissions. The research outcomes may help local departments, especially in developing countries, better estimate freight vehicle emissions and make policies correspondingly to control their impacts on public health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52282,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2046043023000059/pdfft?md5=78c6c5f96a9a8f7665a855270fca774f&pid=1-s2.0-S2046043023000059-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46656231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
