Book Accident surrogates for use in analyzing highway safety hazards

Download or read book Accident surrogates for use in analyzing highway safety hazards written by United States. Federal Highway Administration and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of this research project was to investigate the feasibility of using accident surrogate measures in highway safety analyses. An accident surrogate measure is defined as a quantifiable observation that can be used in place of or as a supplement to accident records. The study provides evidence that surrogate measures for accident experience can be identified. A procedure for developing and using accident surrogates is presented. Analyses were performed to develop accident surrogate measures for hazardous location identification and countermeasures evaluation at rural isolated curves on two-lane roads, rural signalized intersections and two-lane tangent sections in urbanized areas.

Book Measuring Road Safety with Surrogate Events

Download or read book Measuring Road Safety with Surrogate Events written by Andrew Tarko and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measuring Road Safety Using Surrogate Events provides researchers and practitioners with the tools they need to quickly and effectively measure traffic safety. Traditional crash-based safety analyses are being undermined by today's growing use of intelligent vehicular and road safety technologies. Crash surrogates--or near misses--can be more effectively used to measure the future risk of crashes. Measuring Road Safety Using Surrogate Events advances the idea of using these near-crash techniques to deliver quicker and more adequate measurements of safety. The book explores the relationships between traffic conflicts and crashes using an extrapolation of observed events rather than post-crash data, which is significantly slower to obtain. It delivers sound estimation methods based on rigorous scientific principles, offering compelling new tools to better equip researchers to understand road safety and its factors. Consolidates the latest thinking from disparate places into one resource Establishes a consistent use of key terms, definitions, and concepts to help codify this emerging field Numerous application-oriented case studies throughout Learning aids include chapter objectives, glossary, and links to data used in examples

Book Analysis of Policies for Safety Improvements on Low volume Rural Roadways

Download or read book Analysis of Policies for Safety Improvements on Low volume Rural Roadways written by Schwartz, David J. and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to determine the adequacy with which safety problems on low-volume rural roadways were addressed by the four states of Federal Region VII (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska), a review was made of the states' safety policies. After reviewing literature dealing with the identification of hazardous locations, evaluation methodologies, and system-wide safety improvements, a survey of the states' safety policies was conducted. An official from each state was questioned about the various aspects and procedures dealing with safety improvements. After analyzing and comparing the remarkably diverse policies, recommendations were made in the form of a model safety program. This program included special modifications that would help remediate hazards on low-volume rural roadways. Especially encouraged is a system-wide approach to improvement which would cover all parts of the highway system, not just urban and high-volume roadways.

Book Safety Data Analysis and Evaluation 2011

Download or read book Safety Data Analysis and Evaluation 2011 written by National Research Council (U.S.). Transportation Research Board and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vol. 1 consists of 13 papers that explore measuring the influence of accessibility on accident severity; relation of flow, speed, and density of urban freeways to functional form of a safety performance function; the effects of mobile phone use on accident risk; separation of safety effects of multiple improvements; model of relationship between interstate crash occurrence and geometrics; and analysis of naturalistic driving event data. V. 2 consists of 17 papers that address analysis of crash rates and surrogate events, aggregating indicators of traffic conflict, optimizing investments in local rural road networks, improved time-to-collision definition, mining microscopic data of vehicle conflicts and collisions, arterial signal coordination, and real-time crash risk.

Book Highway Safety Data Analysis and Evaluation 2010

Download or read book Highway Safety Data Analysis and Evaluation 2010 written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This issue contains 14 papers concerned with highway safety data, analysis, and evaluation. Specific topics discussed include the following: publication bias in road safety evaluation; accidents and accessibility; collecting data on animal carcass removal from roadways using personal digital assistants; genetic programming for investigating urban arterial design factors contributing to crashes; U.S. Road Assessment Program star rating protocol; automated analysis of vehicle interactions and collisions; proposed safety index based on driver risk-taking; effect of street pattern on road safety; near crashes as crash surrogate for naturalistic driving studies; endogeneity in models of severity of traffic crash injuries; predicting single-vehicle fatal crashes for two-lane rural highways; identifying hot spots; relationship between calculated conflicts in a microsimulation model and the number of crashes; and comparison of the application of baseline models estimated with accident-modification factors and models with covariates."--pub. desc.
