A personalized perspective on driving risk assessment and prediction can help to proactively prevent traffic safety and provide a risk prediction basis for intelligent driver assistance systems. A personalized driving risk assessment and rolling prediction method is proposed to predict a driver’s potential accident risk in real-time by integrating vehicle dynamics and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) indicators. A natural driving experiment is designed to obtain Critical Incident Events (CIEs) and changes in each indicator. The frequency of CIEs is used as a driving risk characterization. To identify the significant personalized indicators affecting various CIEs, an improved Bayesian network model is developed to obtain the influence mechanism of each indicator on CIEs. The Dynamic Time Warping Barycenter Averaging (DBA) method is used to calculate the representative series of each significant indicator, which can obtain the characteristic time series under different risk levels. The weights of each CIE class are calculated by the entropy weight Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to get the risk score calculation rule. These scores are then clustered by the Fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm to determine the different risk levels. Finally, the Bayesian Optimization (BO) −based Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) is integrated with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to construct the BCBGE (BO-CNN-BiGRU-EKF) model, which enables continuous prediction of driving risk. Results from a natural driving experiment involving 60 drivers in Xi’an indicate that driving risk can be grouped into four levels. A personalized risk indicator analysis was conducted for each driver. The results indicate that each type of CIE is associated with three to four key indicators of vehicle dynamics or HRV. When the observation window length is 3.8 s and the prediction window length is 2.4 s, the proposed rolling prediction model achieves an accuracy of 92.03%, which is 3.37% to 15.88% higher than the accuracies obtained using the GRU, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) −EKF, and BO-CNN-BiLSTM-EKF models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6926,"journal":{"name":"Accident; analysis and prevention","volume":"221 ","pages":"Article 108201"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144866405","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}

A hybrid qualitative-quantitative analysis was applied to examine the movement characteristics. The disabilities include physical impairment, lower limb impairment, visual impairment, hearing impairment, mental impairment and intellectual impairments. Qualitatively, typical phenomena of the interaction between the visually and hearing-impaired individuals, and spatial features around the wheelchair users can be observed through the video recordings. Qualitatively, the path length ratio (PLR) and entropy of trajectories for different disabled are calculated and compared. With regard to the typical phenomenon, the Cross-Correlation Function (CCF) was quantified to measures the similarity between the interaction, including “shoulder guide” cooperative movement of the visual disabled and interacting with each other of the hearing disabled. The results show that the speeds of visually impaired individuals and their guides are strongly correlated both temporally and spatially.</div><div>Further, the fundamental diagram of the heterogeneous crowds with various types of disabilities was quantified. The heterogeneous group exhibits slightly higher speeds compared to the elderly group at the same density. Due to the high heterogeneity within the crowd, it is challenging to achieve a stable state at the exit. The impact of heterogeneity on traffic efficiency is assessed through cumulative passage times, flow, and flow rates. It is demonstrated that the traffic efficiency of the heterogeneous group is lower than that of the elderly group and the building code standards. Various parameters such as passage time, actual speed, effective speed, instantaneous speed, stagnation time, and acceleration are calculated to analyze the impact of disability types on pedestrian passage efficiency. Factors contributing to the reduced traffic efficiency of the heterogeneous group are analyzed from temporal and spatial perspectives. Wheelchair users experience more pronounced stoppages due to their larger space requirements. Additionally, the reaction time and the collision avoidance behaviors of pedestrians in the heterogeneous group lead to longer exit intervals. This results in a relatively dispersed concentration of crowd density within the experimental space. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing crowd management and optimizing traffic designs for heterogeneous groups with various types of disabilities for ensuring their mobility and safety. The results provide reliable data support for transportation modifications and guidelines for the development of evacuation models, as well as the formulation of management strategies for heterogeneous populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6926,"journal":{"name":"Accident; analysis and prevention","volume":"221 ","pages":"Article 108204"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144866404","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}

In this study, a driving simulator experiment was conducted to explore the effects of driving experience and cognitive distractions (i.e., auditory n-back task) on hazard perception in partially automated vehicles when drivers are faced with different predictable hazards, i.e., behavioral prediction (BP) hazard, environmental prediction (EP) hazard, and anticipatory prediction (AP) hazard, with the increase of the scenario complexity. In total, 18 experienced and 18 novice drivers drove with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering control systems. We found that experienced drivers exhibited more proactive behaviors than novice drivers when handling AP hazards and were less likely to get involved in crashes. At the same time, cognitive distractions failed to affect drivers’ visual attention behaviors but affected proactive behaviors in response to hazards.

However, scenario testing faces the dilemma of the curse of dimensionality and the requirements for test coverage. Consequently, the construction and selection of test cases become significant challenges. Moreover, due to the black-box nature of the system under test (SUT), surrogate models are often introduced during the scenario generation process, which can introduce model deviation relative to the actual system and potentially lead to ineffective test scenarios as well as incorrect estimation of system functional boundaries (SFB). To address these challenges, an efficient framework for generating high-dimensional safety-margin scenarios and tracking SFB of SUT is proposed, which utilizes a baseline surrogate model to generate a diverse and comprehensive library of safety-margin test scenarios through a multi-population genetic algorithm (MPGA). Additionally, a System Functional Boundary Tracking (SFBT) module is employed to compensate for the deviation between the baseline surrogate model and the actual SUT, thereby adaptively generalizing the library of critical scenarios to estimate its high-dimensional functional boundaries.

The main advantage of using EVT is to predict unobserved critical events based on one or more Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS) (single- or multivariate EVT) through a mathematical extrapolation of extreme interactions. Such interactions are quantitatively described by SMoS, which commonly measure the proximity of two road users, increasing the probability of a collision as the proximity decreases. Those events with a higher likelihood of turning into an accident are defined as severe interactions, and they are considered extremes and are used in the EVT model. Since EVT analysis focuses on the upper tail of the distribution, decreasing transformations are a prerequisite, without which it is impossible to model the extremes. However, prediction results depend on the shape of the indicators’ distributions. Some studies use simple transformations, such as negation, while others employ nonlinear methods that adjust the relationship between proximity and severity. In the present study, the theory of tail analysis has been used to rigorously formulate the effect of a set of conventional linear and nonlinear transformations of SMoS. The approach was tested on a Swedish dataset, and the effects of the transformations on the prediction of extreme events were evaluated based on an accident model built on local data and Empirical Byes correction. The novelty of this study is that one of the most fundamental concepts in traffic conflict theory, such as conflict-crash relationships, has been examined with mathematical interpretation.

While bicycle dynamics and cyclist control models have the potential to determine this indicator and simulate interventions, their application is currently limited by a lack of validation in predicting the MAHD and the narrow range of interventions that can be incorporated into existing cyclist control models.

Incorporating these predictors into cyclist control models can substantially improve their practical application.

A reflexive thematic analysis exploring perceptions around the concept of shared responsibility for speed management and associated emerging challenges was conducted, from which four themes were generated. The first of these themes suggested that responsibility in this context can be understood as being anchored in legal frameworks, in moral imperatives or as related to crash causality factors. The second theme gathered shared patterns of meaning around competing mindsets with very different explanations into how road safety results are delivered, with implications for effectively sharing responsibility for speed management. Theme three suggested that sharing responsibility for speed management can be enhanced by stakeholders’ goal alignment. Finally, the fourth theme suggested the need to modify the speed management’s governance framework, including reassessing the roles, responsibilities and accountability of stakeholders as well as the transparency of policy processes.
