This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year roughly 100,000 fatal and injury crashes occur in the United States involving large trucks and buses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation works to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA uses information that is collected on the frequency of approximately 900 different violations of safety regulations discovered during (mainly) roadside inspections to assess motor carriers' compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as to evaluate their compliance in comparison with their peers. Through use of this information, FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) identifies carriers to receive its available interventions in order to reduce the risk of crashes across all carriers. Improving Motor Carrier Safety Measurement examines the effectiveness of the use of the percentile ranks produced by SMS for identifying high-risk carriers, and if not, what alternatives might be preferred. In addition, this report evaluates the accuracy and sufficiency of the data used by SMS, to assess whether other approaches to identifying unsafe carriers would identify high-risk carriers more effectively, and to reflect on how members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway Safety Analytics and Modeling comprehensively covers the key elements needed to make effective transportation engineering and policy decisions based on highway safety data analysis in a single. reference. The book includes all aspects of the decision-making process, from collecting and assembling data to developing models and evaluating analysis results. It discusses the challenges of working with crash and naturalistic data, identifies problems and proposes well-researched methods to solve them. Finally, the book examines the nuances associated with safety data analysis and shows how to best use the information to develop countermeasures, policies, and programs to reduce the frequency and severity of traffic crashes. - Complements the Highway Safety Manual by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials - Provides examples and case studies for most models and methods - Includes learning aids such as online data, examples and solutions to problems

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metaverse has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of human life, including transportation systems. The integration of the Metaverse into intelligent transportation systems has the potential to significantly improve traffic safety in smart cities. By creating a virtual replica of the physical world, the Metaverse can provide a platform for testing new traffic management systems, road designs, and vehicle technologies in a controlled and safe environment before implementing them in the real world. One way to integrate the Metaverse into intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is by enhancing traffic safety. This can be achieved by developing an evaluation model that considers both safety and traffic efficiency. The proposed evaluation methodology encompasses three phases. Firstly, the obligations/criteria, and subsidiary obligations are modeled into nodes within levels based on Tree Soft Sets (TrSSs). Secondly, the Opinion Weight Criteria Method (OWCM) is utilized for generating the weights for obligations and subsidiary obligations. Finally, the Root Assessment Method (RAM) harnesses the generated weights for assessing and ranking alternative approaches to improving traffic safety in smart cities. The utilized techniques are working under the authority of neutrosophic theory to support these techniques in uncertain and ambiguous circumstances. Subsequently, the proposed methodology is tested in a case study that considers three alternative approaches to improving traffic safety in a smart city. The criteria for evaluation include safety and traffic aspects. The results of the case study indicate that the proposed evaluation model effectively ranks the alternative approaches based on their safety and traffic efficiency. This suggests that the Metaverse can be effectively integrated to enhance traffic safety and improve overall transportation efficiency. Overall, the results of the case study suggest that the proposed evaluation model effectively ranks the alternative approaches based on their safety and traffic efficiency. This indicates that the integration of the Metaverse can indeed enhance traffic safety and improve overall transportation efficiency in smart cities.
