Predicting intersection crash frequency using connected vehicle data: A framework for geographical random forest

Yangsong Gu et al.

Summary: This study investigates a new Artificial Intelligence technique called Geographical Random Forest (GRF) to accurately predict rear-end crash frequency at intersections. The results show that the proposed GRF outperforms Global Random Forest in terms of test error and fit, and identifies key indicators of rear-end crashes.

Using computer vision and machine learning to identify bus safety risk factors

Becky P. Y. Loo et al.

Summary: Bus crashes in road safety research are significant due to the large number of bus passengers involved and the challenges they pose to the road network and public health care system. This study utilizes bus dashcam footage to identify high-risk factors and suggest planning interventions for improving bus safety in cities heavily reliant on buses as a major means of public transport. Key risk factors identified include pedestrian exposure factors, pedestrian jaywalking, bus stop crowding, sidewalk railing, and sharp turning locations. Road safety administrations should focus on improving bus safety on pedestrian-heavy streets, recognizing the importance of protection railing, and addressing bus stop crowding to prevent minor bus injuries.

Large-scale agent-based simulation model of pedestrian traffic flows

Dana Kaziyeva et al.

Summary: This study develops an agent-based model to simulate disaggregated pedestrian traffic flows at a regional scale. The model overcomes limitations of existing approaches in pedestrian traffic modelling by incorporating probabilistic rules for activity type, mode, and route choices. A case study in Salzburg, Austria shows traffic flows concentrated in the city centre and along the river. Complexity analysis and uncertainty analysis validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the model.

Spatio-temporal variations of traffic congestion under work from home (WFH) arrangements: Lessons learned from COVID-19

Becky P. Y. Loo et al.

Summary: This study reveals that working from home arrangement during the COVID-19 pandemic has alleviated peak-hour congestion in Hong Kong. Significant improvements in congestion were observed not only in the central business district and urban cores but also in some new town areas. This has important implications for urban planners in creating sustainable cities that address the commuting needs of residents.

Predicting individuals' car accident risk by trajectory, driving events, and geographical context

Livio Bruehwiler et al.

Summary: This study explores the influence of enriching driving behavior features with geographical context features on differentiating between accident and accident-free drivers. The results show that including geographical information such as weather, points of interest, and land use can improve the predictive performance. Among these, land use has the most significant impact on predictive performance.

A Forest of Forests: A Spatially Weighted and Computationally Efficient Formulation of Geographical Random Forests

Stefanos Georganos et al.

Summary: This paper presents an advanced geospatial analytics algorithm that enhances the prediction power of a random forest regression model and addresses the issue of spatial dependence in geographical data. The algorithm was applied to a simple model of mean household income in European Union regions, yielding encouraging results and outperforming previous techniques. It has been implemented in R and is available in the updated version of the SpatialML package in the CRAN repository.

Pedestrian Crash Exposure Analysis Using Alternative Geographically Weighted Regression Models

Seyed Ahmad Almasi et al.

Summary: This study analyzes pedestrian crash exposure in urban roads using surrogate measures including sociodemographic characteristics, land use, and geometric characteristics of the network. Pedestrian exposure models are developed using geographical spatial models such as GWR, GWPR, and GWGR. The results show negative associations between factors like bus stations, population density, residential use, number of lanes, traffic control cameras, and sidewalk width with increasing crash numbers. Analysis using GWPR outputs reveals spatial heterogeneity in pedestrian crash data.

Estimating Vehicle and Pedestrian Activity from Town and City Traffic Cameras

Li Chen et al.

Summary: This study introduces a solution using deep learning and the Google Cloud Platform to process traffic camera data, successfully generating trends in the 'busyness' of towns and cities across the UK. The statistical outputs have been adopted by the UK's Office for National Statistics as an experimental faster indicator of the impact of COVID-19 on the UK economy and society.

A joint probability model for pedestrian crashes at macroscopic level: Roles of environment, traffic, and population characteristics

Junbiao Su et al.

Summary: Road safety is a major public health issue, with pedestrians more vulnerable to fatal and severe injuries in crashes compared to car occupants. A joint probability model is adopted to simultaneously model crash occurrence and pedestrian involvement, considering various influencing factors. The study highlights the importance of better design and planning of built environments for pedestrian safety and walkability in high-density cities.
