CGAN-EB: A non-parametric empirical Bayes method for crash frequency modeling using conditional generative adversarial networks as safety performance functions

Mohammad Zarei et al.

Summary: A novel non-parametric empirical Bayes (EB) method based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (CGAN) is proposed in this paper for modeling crash frequency data. Unlike parametric approaches, the proposed CGAN-EB does not require a pre-specified underlying relationship between dependent and independent variables and is able to model any types of distributions. The performance of CGAN-EB is compared with the conventional approach (NB-EB) in terms of model fit, predictive performance, and network screening outcomes, and the results show that CGAN-EB outperforms NB-EB in prediction power and hotspot identification tests.

Real-time traffic incident detection based on a hybrid deep learning model

Linchao Li et al.

Summary: A hybrid model is proposed in this study to tackle the issues of small sample sizes and imbalanced datasets in traffic incident detection. The model utilizes a generative adversarial network (GAN) to expand the sample size and balance the datasets, as well as a temporal and spatially stacked autoencoder (TSSAE) to extract temporal and spatial correlations for incident detection. Evaluations using real-world data show that the proposed model, considering both temporal and spatial variables, outperforms benchmark models and improves real-time detection capacity.

Hotspot identification on urban arterials at the meso level

Jia Li et al.

Summary: This study combined signalized intersections and their adjacent road segments into meso-level units to investigate traffic safety on urban arterials. The results showed that the empirical Bayesian and potential for safety improvement methods performed better in identifying hotspots, regardless of the research unit used. However, there was substantial inconsistency between the identified micro- and meso-level hotspots. It is recommended to use a combination of micro- and meso-level hotspots to identify hazardous corridors and individual intersections and road segments on urban arterials.

Bayesian dynamic extreme value modeling for conflict-based real-time safety analysis

Chuanyun Fu et al.

Summary: This study proposes a Bayesian dynamic extreme value modeling approach for conflict-based real-time safety analysis, which allows time-varying model parameters and accounts for non-stationarity. The approach is applied to cycle-by-cycle safety analysis at signalized intersections, and two safety indices, risk of crash (RC) and return level (RL), are generated. The results show that the dynamic model outperforms the static model in terms of safety analysis.

A bivariate extreme value model for estimating crash frequency by severity using traffic conflicts

Ashutosh Arun et al.

Summary: Estimating crash frequency by severity levels using traffic conflicts is relatively unexplored, but this study fills the gap by jointly modeling crash frequency indicators and crash severity indicators with bivariate Extreme Value method, demonstrating superior statistical fit and precise estimations. The study reveals that the bivariate approach is more advantageous than the univariate approach, and combining TTC and MTTC indicators with Delta-V provides comparable results in predicting crash frequencies by severity levels. Sharing information between similar traffic sites improves the accuracy and precision of prediction.
