Assessing the impact of car-following driving style on traffic conflict risk using asymmetric behavior model and explainable machine learning.

Accident; analysis and prevention
To deepen the understanding of the impact of car-following driving style (CFDS) on traffic conflict risk and address the lack of clear CFDS evaluation metrics, this study proposes an improved CFDS metric based on the Asymmetric Behavior (AB) theory. ...

Cooperative control of self-learning traffic signal and connected automated vehicles for safety and efficiency optimization at intersections.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Cooperative control of intersection signals and connected automated vehicles (CAVs) possess the potential for safety enhancement and congestion alleviation, facilitating the integration of CAVs into urban intelligent transportation systems. This rese...

Semantically-Enhanced Feature Extraction with CLIP and Transformer Networks for Driver Fatigue Detection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Drowsy driving is a leading cause of commercial vehicle traffic crashes. The trend is to train fatigue detection models using deep neural networks on driver video data, but challenges remain in coarse and incomplete high-level feature extraction and ...

Real-Time Fatigue Detection Algorithms Using Machine Learning for Yawning and Eye State.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Drowsiness while driving is a major factor contributing to traffic accidents, resulting in reduced cognitive performance and increased risk. This article gives a complete analysis of a real-time, non-intrusive sleepiness detection system based on con...

A machine learning approach to quantify effects of geometric design features and traffic control devices on wrong-way driving incidents at partial cloverleaf interchange terminals.

Accident; analysis and prevention
This study addresses the issue of wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents at partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange terminals in the United States. These incidents are a safety concern, often attributed to geometric design features and inadequate traffic ...

Investigating streetscape environmental characteristics associated with road traffic crashes using street view imagery and computer vision.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Examining the relationship between streetscape features and road traffic crashes is vital for enhancing roadway safety. Traditional field surveys are often inefficient and lack comprehensive spatial coverage. Leveraging street view images (SVIs) and ...

Gender disparities in rural motorcycle accidents: A neural network analysis of travel behavior impact.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Rural road accidents involving motorcycle riders present a formidable challenge to road safety globally. This study offers a comprehensive gender-based comparative analysis of rural road accidents among motorcycle riders, aimed at illuminating factor...

Nonlinear effects of traffic statuses and road geometries on highway traffic accident severity: A machine learning approach.

PloS one
The purpose of this study is to explore nonlinear and threshold effects of traffic statuses and road geometries, as well as their interactions, on traffic accident severity. In contrast to earlier research that primarily defined road alignment qualit...

Decision-making of autonomous vehicles in interactions with jaywalkers: A risk-aware deep reinforcement learning approach.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Jaywalking, as a hazardous crossing behavior, leaves little time for drivers to anticipate and respond promptly, resulting in high crossing risks. The prevalence of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technologies has offered new solutions for mitigating jaywalk...

Risk of crashes among self-employed truck drivers: Prevalence evaluation using fatigue data and machine learning prediction models.

Journal of safety research
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 ...
