Speech title：Emerging methods about traffic safety-critical technologies

Abstract:

Road traffic injuries have   become the eighth leading cause of death for people of all ages, which   remains a serious problem globally. Multi-vehicle (MV) crashes and Vehicle-pedestrian   (VP) crashes have been a major concern for traffic safety. Random parameters   logit model with heterogeneities in the means and variances was developed to   identify the critical contributing factors of MV crashes. The emerging   roadside light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has been deployed for VP near-crashes   detection. A comprehensive database was built based on the data collected in   different countries. Detailed data processing algorithms and safety analysis will   be introduced. The innovate methods were evaluated using the data collected   in different sites.
