INTRODUCTION: Transportation companies have increasingly shifted their workforce from permanent to outsourced roles, a trend that has consequences for self-employed truck drivers. This transition leads to extended working hours, resulting in fatigue ...
INTRODUCTION: Driver distraction and inattention (DDI) are major causes of road crashes, especially on rural highways. However, not all instances of distracted or inattentive driving lead to crashes. Previous studies indicate that DDI-related driving...
INTRODUCTION: Construction sites are prone to numerous safety risk factors, but safety managers have difficulty managing these risk factors for practical reasons. Moreover, manually identifying multiple risk factors visually is challenging. Therefore...
INTRODUCTION: Development and implementation of autonomous vehicle (AV) related regulations are necessary to ensure safe AV deployment and wide acceptance among all roadway users. Assessment of vulnerable roadway users' perceptions on AV regulations ...
INTRODUCTION: Fatal fall from height accidents, especially on construction sites, persist, underscoring the importance of monitoring and managing worker behaviors to enhance safety. Deep learning showed the possibility of substituting the manual work...
INTRODUCTION: Small mobile robots have become increasingly popular in the construction domain over the last few years. They are stable on rough terrains, can walk over small obstacles, climb stairs, and carry various sensors or arms to perform divers...
INTRODUCTION: A variety of factors are driving the development of robotics and automation in the agriculture industry including the nature of work, workforce shortages, and a variety of economic, climatic, technologic, political, and social factors. ...
INTRODUCTION: The research described in this paper explored the factors contributing to the injury severity resulting from the male and female older driver (65 years and older) at-fault crashes at unsignalized intersections in Alabama.
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to increase the prediction accuracy of crash frequency on roadway segments that can forecast future safety on roadway facilities. A variety of statistical and machine learning (ML) methods are used to model crash frequen...
INTRODUCTION: A disproportionately high number of deadly crash-incidents involve fire-tanker rollovers during emergency response driving. Most of these rollover incidents occur at dangerous horizontal curves ("curves") due to unsafe speed. This study...
