Driving Simulator Validation And Rear-end Crash Risk Analysis At A Signalised Intersection
… and SR-50 eastbound through lanes have a higher rear-end crash risk than that at SR-50 westbound right turn lane and SR-434 northbound through lanes, respectively. This conforms to the risk of rear-end crashes observed at the actual intersection. Therefore, the simulator is validated for using it …

Advanced Speed Control Strategies to Reduce Delay and Improve Safety of Car-Truck Mixed Traffic Flow
… impacts of DVSL were also assessed based on the “Crash Potential Index (CPI)” which represents the likelihood of rear-end crash between the lead and following vehicles. The result shows that among the four speed limit strategies, DVSL had the lowest CPI for car-following-car, car-following-truck …

Safety Analyses At Signalized Intersections Considering Spatial, Temporal And Site Correlation
… roadway network. Different approaches including crash frequency and severity models have been used to establish the relationship between crash occurrence and intersection characteristics. In order to model crash occurrence at signalized intersections more efficiently and eventually to better …

Estimation Of Hybrid Models For Real-time Crash Risk Assessment On Freeways
… would involve anticipating incidents such as crashes. The primary element of proactive traffic management strategy would be model(s) that can separate 'crash prone' conditions from 'normal' traffic conditions in real-time. The aim in this research is to establish relationship(s) between …

Safety Effects Of Traffic Signal Installations On State Road Intersections In Northeast Florida
… how the installations of traffic signals affect crash experience at intersections, to identify those factors which help predict crashes after a signal is installed, and to develop a crash prediction model. It is the intent of this thesis to supplement the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices …

Analytic Assessment of Collision Avoidance Systems and Driver Dynamic Performance in Rear-End Crashes and Near-Crashes
… and fielded to reduce the number and severity of rear-end crashes. Kinematic algorithms within CASs evaluate sensor input and apply assumptions describing human-response timing and deceleration to determine when an alert should be presented. This dissertation presents an analytic assessment of …
