Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Driver behavior related to overtaking maneuvers, which are considered a major safety risk determinant on two-lane two-way highway in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), are an important subject of further analysis. This study evaluates safety risk in terms of nature and severity of probable conflicts during overtaking maneuvers on a bi-directional undivided two-lane highway in a heterogeneous traffic environment of a low-income country. Nature and severity of probable conflicts were defined with the application of surrogate safety proximity indicators in real-world naturalistic driving environment.
