Advanced traffic conflict analysis for safety evaluation at roundabouts under mixed traffic using extreme value theory.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Roundabout safety evaluation in non-lane-based, heterogeneous traffic conditions in low-middle-income countries brings challenges due to unavailable/unreliable crash data, thereby switching to the utilization of safety surrogates. This study employed...

Investigating the influence of socioeconomic factors on the relationships between road characteristics and traffic crash frequency and severity-- A hybrid structural equation modelling - artificial neural networks approach.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Traffic crashes result from complex interactions between driver, roadway, and environmental factors, which traditional methods often fail to capture. This paper investigates the influence of road, weather, and socioeconomic factors on traffic crashes...

Urban walkability through different lenses: A comparative study of GPT-4o and human perceptions.

PloS one
Urban environments significantly shape our well-being, behavior, and overall quality of life. Assessing urban environments, particularly walkability, has traditionally relied on computer vision and machine learning algorithms. However, these approach...

Children on wheels: Identifying crash determinants using cluster correspondence analysis.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Child bicyclists (14 years old and younger) are among the most vulnerable road users, facing significant risks of crashes that often result in severe injuries or fatalities. This study aims to identify key factors influencing child bicyclist crashes ...

Optimization of urban green space in Wuhan based on machine learning algorithm from the perspective of healthy city.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Urban green spaces play a critical role in addressing health issues, ecological challenges, and uneven resource distribution in cities. This study focuses on Wuhan, where low green coverage rates and imbalanced green space allocation po...

Modeling crash avoidance behaviors in vehicle-pedestrian near-miss scenarios: Curvilinear time-to-collision and Mamba-driven deep reinforcement learning.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Interactions between vehicle-pedestrian at intersections often lead to safety-critical situations. This study aims to model the crash avoidance behaviors of vehicles during interactions with pedestrians in near-miss scenarios, contributing to the dev...

Simulation of human-vehicle interaction at right-turn unsignalized intersections: A game-theoretic deep maximum entropy inverse reinforcement learning method.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The safety of pedestrians in urban transportation systems has emerged as a significant research topic. As a vulnerable group within this transportation framework, pedestrians encounter heightened safety risks in complex urban road environments. Prote...

Spatial heterogeneity effect of built environment on traffic safety using geographically weighted atrous convolutions neural network.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The built environment exerts a significant influence on the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. Spatially uniform assumptions on the impacts of built environment factors commonly employed in existing research may lead to inconsistent and con...

What factors influence the willingness and intensity of regular mobile physical activity?- A machine learning analysis based on a sample of 290 cities in China.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: This study, based on Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and multi-source data, aims to construct an interpretable macro-scale analytical framework to explore the factors influencing urban physical activities. Using 290 prefecture-...

How do neighborhood environments impact adolescent health: a comprehensive study from subjective and objective perspectives using machine learning method.

Frontiers in public health
Existing studies have established a linear relationship between urban environments and adolescent health, but the combined impacts of subjective and objective environments on multi-dimensional health status (including physical and mental health) have...
