A Bayesian generalised extreme value model to estimate real-time pedestrian crash risks at signalised intersections using artificial intelligence-based video analytics

Yasir Ali et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel real-time vehicle-pedestrian crash risk modelling framework for signalised intersections. The framework employs a Bayesian Generalised Extreme Value modelling approach to estimate crash risk in real-time from traffic conflicts. Results show that the proposed model provides a reasonable estimate of historical crash records and can differentiate between safe and risky signal cycles. The findings demonstrate the potential for the proposed real-time framework in estimating the vehicle-pedestrian crash risk at the signal cycle level and developing real-time risk mitigation strategies.

Dynamic identification of short-term and longer-term hazardous locations using a conflict-based real-time extreme value safety model

Tarek Ghoul et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach to safety management by evaluating the safety of locations over short time periods. Unlike traditional methods based on aggregate crash records, this approach considers short-term durations and dynamic traffic changes. The proposed framework uses Bayesian hierarchal Extreme Value Theory model to calculate short-term crash risk metrics and identifies high-risk locations. It also investigates the variation in short-term crash risk and develops longer-term hazardous location identification and ranking metrics.

Estimating real-time crash risk at signalized intersections: A Bayesian Generalized Extreme Value approach

Yasir Ali et al.

Summary: The current reactive road safety assessment lacks a proper methodological framework to assess real-time crash risk at signalized intersections, leading to a deficiency in developing real-time risk mitigation strategies. This study proposes a traffic conflict-based crash estimation technique using a Bayesian modeling framework to estimate crash risk in real-time. The proposed framework is tested using 96 hours of traffic movement video data from a signalized intersection in Queensland, Australia, and demonstrates the suitability of the model for crash risk estimations. The study concludes that the proposed real-time framework effectively estimates rear-end crash risk at the micro-level, enabling proactive safety management and the development of risk mitigation strategies.

Identification of adequate sample size for conflict-based crash risk evaluation: An investigation using Bayesian hierarchical extreme value theory models

Chuanyun Fu et al.

Summary: The use of traffic conflict-based models for road safety analysis is popular, but selecting an appropriate sample size is challenging. This study proposes a method for identifying an adequate sample size based on model convergence and goodness-of-fit. The method was applied to a Bayesian hierarchical extreme value theory model using traffic conflict data, and the results showed that the sample size used was adequate for model convergence and goodness-of-fit.

Yasir Ali et al.

Summary: This study examines and quantifies mandatory lane-changing crash risk in traditional and connected environments using an Extreme Value Theory approach. Findings indicate that the connected environment significantly reduces crash risk compared to the baseline condition, with the highest risk reduction observed in the perfect communication condition. The study also confirms the veracity of Peak Over Threshold models in estimating crash risk using traffic conflict data.

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.

Random-Parameter Bayesian Hierarchical Extreme Value Modeling Approach with Heterogeneity in Means and Variances for Traffic Conflict-Based Crash Estimation

Chuanyun Fu et al.

Summary: In this study, a random-parameter Bayesian hierarchical extreme value model with heterogeneity in means and variances (RPBHEV-HMV) was developed to capture unobserved heterogeneity. The model allows random parameters to have varying means and variances, and incorporates several factors contributing to the heterogeneity. Application of the model to conflict-based rear-end crash prediction showed that it outperforms existing models in terms of goodness of fit, explanatory power, and crash estimation accuracy and precision.
