On freeways, sudden deceleration or lane-changing by vehicles can trigger conflict risk that propagates backward in a specific pattern. Simulating this pattern of conflict risk propagation can not only help prevent crashes but is also vital for the d...
Accurately modelling crashes, and predicting crash occurrence and associated severities are a prerequisite for devising countermeasures and developing effective road safety management strategies. To this end, crash prediction modelling using machine ...
Recent state-of-art crash risk evaluation studies have exploited deep learning (DL) techniques to improve performance in identifying high-risk traffic operation statuses. However, it is doubtful if such DL-based models would remain robust to real-wor...
Extreme value theory models have opened doors for before-after safety evaluation of engineering treatments using traffic conflict techniques. Recent advancements in automated conflict extraction technologies have further expedited conflict-based safe...

BACKGROUND: Pattern recognition of pedestrians' traffic behavior can enhance the management efficiency of interested groups by targeting access to them and facilitating planning via more specific surveys. This study aimed to evaluate the pedestrians'...
A large share of traffic accidents is related to driver fatigue. In recent years, many studies have been organized in order to diagnose and warn drivers. In this research, a new approach was presented in order to detect multi-level driver fatigue. A ...

PURPOSE: In France, tens of thousands of people use a wheelchair. Driving powered wheelchairs (PWCs) present risks for users and their families. The risk of collision in PWC driver increases with severity of disability and may reduce their independen...
In recent years, identifying road users' behavior and conflicts at intersections have become an essential data source for evaluating traffic safety. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in 2020, more than 50% of fatal and injury cr...
For each road crash event, it is necessary to predict its injury severity. However, predicting crash injury severity with the imbalanced data frequently results in ineffective classifier. Due to the rarity of severe injuries in road traffic crashes, ...
