Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects in road safety analysis using generalized random forests

Yingheng Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper introduces generalized random forests (GRF) for the estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) in road safety analysis. The simulation results show that GRF outperforms other causal methods, such as the outcome regression method, propensity score method, and doubly robust estimation method, especially in handling nonlinearity and nonadditivity. The case study on the UK's speed camera program reveals significant reductions in road accidents at speed camera sites, with statistically significant heterogeneity in treatment effects. The study also explores the associations between baseline accident records, traffic volume, local socio-economic characteristics, and the safety effects of speed cameras, providing policy suggestions based on the findings. Overall, the evaluation of HTEs offers comprehensive information to local authorities and policymakers, improving the effectiveness of speed camera programs. GRF shows promise in uncovering treatment effect heterogeneity in road safety analysis.

Modeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on speeding at rural roadway facilities in Maine using short-term speed and traffic count data

Amir Shahlaee et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in traffic operations and safety, with an increase in fatal and severe injury crashes and widespread speeding. Despite the reduction in traffic volume due to stay-at-home orders, drivers continue to speed. The study shows that in rural areas of Maine, speeding increased during the stay-at-home order in 2020 and remained higher one year later.

A Survey on Causal Inference

Liuyi Yao et al.

Summary: Causal inference is a critical research topic across various domains and has gained increasing attention in recent years. Estimating causal effects from observational data has become an appealing research direction, driven by the advancement of machine learning techniques. The diverse range of methods and wide applications make it significant for researchers and practitioners alike.

Disentangling the effects of unobserved factors on seatbelt use choices in multi-occupant vehicles

Amir Pooyan Afghari et al.

Summary: This study focuses on explaining seatbelt use choices in multi-occupant vehicles and finds that vehicle body type and time of the day are significant factors affecting seatbelt use. Additionally, the unobserved "atmosphere" within the vehicle also influences the collective seatbelt use in a vehicle.

The role of gender and temporal instability in driver-injury severities in crashes caused by speeds too fast for conditions

Mouyid Islam et al.

Summary: The impact of inappropriate speed adjustment on crash injury severity is not well understood, particularly in rainy conditions. Significant differences were found between male and female drivers in terms of injury severity probabilities, with some variables showing consistent effects over time.

Exploration of the relationship among roadway characteristics, operating speed, and crashes for city streets using path analysis

Eun Sug Park et al.

Summary: This paper examines the speed-crash relationship for city streets by jointly modeling speed, roadway characteristics, and crashes using a path analysis approach. Multiple speed measures were identified as having a statistically significant association with crashes, with a positive relationship between speed variability and crash occurrence being supported.
