Does road environment aesthetics influence risky driving behavior of autonomous vehicles? An evaluation on road readiness using explainable machine learning and random parameters multinomial logit with heterogeneity.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Aesthetics has always been an advanced requirement in road environment design, because it can provide a pleasant driving experience and guide better driving behavior for human drivers. However, it remains unknown whether aesthetics-based road environ...

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 ...

Hearing loss prediction equation for Iranian truck drivers using neural network algorithm.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND:  Given the high prevalence of hearing loss among truck drivers, using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict and detect contributing factors early can aid managers significantly.

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 ...

A machine learning approach to understanding the road and traffic environments of crashes involving driver distraction and inattention (DDI) on rural multilane highways.

Journal of safety research
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...

Recognizing and explaining driving stress using a Shapley additive explanation model by fusing EEG and behavior signals.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Driving stress is a critical factor leading to road traffic accidents. Despite numerous studies that have been conducted on driving stress recognition, most of them only focus on accuracy improvement without taking model interpretability into account...

Research on recognition of slippery road surface and collision warning system based on deep learning.

PloS one
Aiming at the problems of slow detection speed, large prediction error and weak environmental adaptability of current vehicle collision warning system, this paper proposes a recognition method of slippery road surface and collision warning system bas...
