Identifying Secondary Crashes by Using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Determining the Secondary Crashes Characteristics
… (FHWA, 2014). The risk of the occurrence of secondary crashes can be six times higher in the presence of a primary crash than that at a normal traffic condition (Yang et al., 2013 and Tedesco, 1994). The purpose of this study is 1) to develop a method to identify the secondary crashes with …

Stochastic Point Process Modeling for Engineering Applications
… two engineering applications: (a) To identify secondary crashes from a given traffic data and (b) To quantify the agglomeration state and size of nanoparticles from computationally generated carbon nanotube microstructure using stochastic percolation model and experimentally generated titanium …

A Deep Learning Approach to Predict Accident Occurrence Based on Traffic Dynamics
… is not feasible since the vast majority of crashes occur due to unpredictable human negligence and/or error. However, rapid traffic incident detection could reduce incident-related congestion and secondary crashes, alleviate the waste of vehicles’ fuel and passengers’ time, and provide …

Effects of Emergency Vehicle Warning Lighting System Characteristics on Driver Perception and Behavior
<p>Secondary crashes, including struck-by incidents are a leading cause of line-of-duty deaths among emergency responders, such as firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency medical service providers. The introduction of light emitting diode (LED) sources and advanced lighting control …

Urban Expressway Safety and Efficiency Evaluation and Improvement using Big Data
… factors and remedies of traffic congestion and crashes. These studies lead to gathering consensus that operation and safety have played as two sides of a coin, ameliorating either would have a positive effect on the other. With the advancement of Big Data, monitoring and improvement of both …
