Analysis of the crash potential at signalized intersections with trap lanes
… The dependent variables are stated below. (1) Sideswipe Crashes per Total Crashes; (2) Total Upstream Crashes per Total Crashes; (3) Total Crashes per AADT/10,000 per Intersection Lane Overall, the results of the analysis do not strongly support that signalized intersections with trap lanes …

Neural Network Trees And Simulation Databases: New Approaches For Signalized Intersection Crash Classification And Prediction
… intersections into rear-end, angle, turn and sideswipe crash types based on the traffic and geometric properties of the intersections and the conditions at the time of the crashes. This was achieved by using an innovative approach developed in this thesis "Neural Network Trees". The first …

Evaluation of external noise produced by vehicles crossing over centerline rumble strips on undivided highways in Kansas
… way in reducing head on and opposite direction sideswipe on two-lane highways (cross-over accidents). However, there are some disadvantages in their utilization, such as the exterior noise created by the strips, which may disturb residents in the highway vicinity. The objective of this study was …

Analysis Of Various Car-truck Crash Types Based On Ges And Fars Crash Databases Using Mutlinomial And Binary Logit Model
… was the highest followed by the rear end and sideswipe (same direction) collisions respectively. When the fatalities were considered (FARS database used), the percentage of angle collisions was the highest followed by head-on and rear-end collisions. The nominal multinomial logit model and …

A New Approach To Identify The Expected Crash Patterns Based On Signalized Intersection Size And Analysis Of Vehicle Movements
… crashes. This crash type includes rear end and sideswipe crashes because the involved vehicles for these crashes would be traveling in the same direction prior to the crash. 2) Initial movement in opposite direction (IMOD) crashes comprising left-turn and head on crashes. 3) Initial movement in …

Analysis Of Type And Severity Of Traffic Crashes At Signalized Intersections Using Tree-based Regression And Ordered Probit Models
… crashes when modeling rear-end, right turn or sideswipe crashes. This research presents in detail the significant geometric and traffic characteristics that affect each type of collision. Ordered probit models were used to estimate crash injury severity levels for three different types of …

Estimation Of Hybrid Models For Real-time Crash Risk Assessment On Freeways
… used to identify all crashes (such as rear-end, sideswipe, or angle), even though traffic conditions preceding crashes are known to differ by type of crash. Moreover, a generic model would yield no information about the collision most likely to occur. To be able to analyze different groups of …
