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.
