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.

How many are enough?: Investigating the effectiveness of multiple conflict indicators for crash frequency-by-severity estimation by automated traffic conflict analysis

Ashutosh Arun et al.

Summary: Traffic conflict techniques provide a viable alternative for assessing safety in emerging technologies with limited crash data. This study explores the benefits of using multiple conflict indicators and finds that careful selection of compatible indicators, rather than increasing their number, enhances the predictive performance of conflict-based models.

Summary: Recent increases in maximum interstate speed limits in the US have not significantly affected crash frequencies, but have shown some changes in injury severities. The findings suggest that higher speed limits may contribute to increased injury severities in single-vehicle crashes.

An Extreme Value Theory approach to estimate crash risk during mandatory lane-changing in a connected environment

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.

A hybrid modelling framework of machine learning and extreme value theory for crash risk estimation using traffic conflicts

Fizza Hussain et al.

Summary: This study proposes a hybrid modeling framework that combines machine learning and extreme value theory to estimate crash risk from traffic conflicts. An efficient sampling technique is used to identify extremes, and machine learning methods replace traditional sampling techniques for anomaly detection. The results show that the proposed hybrid models outperform traditional extreme value models in estimating crash risks.

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.

Summary: There is a growing interest in using traffic conflicts as a surrogate measure for safety, with the deceleration rate to avoid a crash (DRAC) being one of the indicators.
