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 ...

Predicting pedestrian-vehicle interaction severity at unsignalized intersections.

Traffic injury prevention
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop and validate a novel deep-learning model that predicts the severity of pedestrian-vehicle interactions at unsignalized intersections, distinctively integrating Transformer-based models with Multilayer Perceptron...

Investigation of a surrogate measure-based safety index for predicting injury crashes at signalized intersections.

Traffic injury prevention
OBJECTIVES: The paper develops a machine learning-based safety index for classifying traffic conflicts that can be used to estimate the frequency of signalized intersection crashes, with a focus on the more severe ones that result in fatal and severe...

Evaluating the effectiveness of safety countermeasures at highway-railway grade crossing based on a machine learning framework.

Traffic injury prevention
OBJECTIVE: This research aims to cluster similar highway-railway grade crossings (HRGCs) to examine the safety countermeasures at HRGCs.

Optimizing vehicle Front-End structure for e-bike rider Safety: An advanced Multi-Objective approach using injury prediction models.

Accident; analysis and prevention
A multi-objective optimization method based on an injury prediction model is proposed to address the increasingly prominent safety issues for e-bike riders in Chinese road traffic. This method aims to enhance the protective effect of vehicle front-en...

Gauging road safety advances using a hybrid EWM-PROMETHEE II-DBSCAN model with machine learning.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Enhancing road safety conditions alleviates socioeconomic hazards from traffic accidents and promotes public health. Monitoring progress and recalibrating measures are indispensable in this effort. A systematic and scientific decision-m...

LERCause: Deep learning approaches for causal sentence identification from nuclear safety reports.

PloS one
Identifying causal sentences from nuclear incident reports is essential for advancing nuclear safety research and applications. Nonetheless, accurately locating and labeling causal sentences in text data is challenging, and might benefit from the usa...

Investigating the influence of streetscape environmental characteristics on pedestrian crashes at intersections using street view images and explainable machine learning.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Examining the relationship between streetscape features and road traffic accidents is pivotal for enhancing roadway safety. While previous studies have primarily focused on the influence of street design characteristics, sociodemographic features, an...

Enhancing Aviation Safety through AI-Driven Mental Health Management for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers.

Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking
This article provides an overview of the mental health challenges faced by pilots and air traffic controllers (ATCs), whose stressful professional lives may negatively impact global flight safety and security. The adverse effects of mental health dis...

Supporting equitable and responsible highway safety improvement funding allocation strategies - Why AI prediction biases matter.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The existing methodologies for allocating highway safety improvement funding closely rely on the utilization of crash prediction models. Specifically, these models produce predictions that estimate future crash hazard levels in different geographical...
