High-sided vehicles often experience considerable single-vehicle accident risks under crosswinds. Long-span cable-supported bridges are usually flexible, wind-sensitive and support considerable amount of vehicles on a daily basis. When vehicles are driven through a long-span bridge, the complex dynamic interactions among wind, vehicles and the bridge significantly affect not only the safety of the bridge members, but also passing vehicles. Therefore, realistic modeling of the bridge-traffic system by characterizing these critical coupling effects becomes essential for rationally assessing traffic safety of passing traffic through a long-span bridge. In most existing studies about traffic safety study on bridges, vehicle safety was assessed for only one single vehicle or uniformly distributed vehicles at a constant driving speed. It is known that the traffic flow on a long-span bridge is typically stochastic and vehicle speeds vary following some traffic rules. Based on the stochastic traffic flow simulation, two new analytical frameworks, one using mode superposition and the other using the finite element (FE) formulation, were proposed recently for the bridge-stochastic traffic system. By considering the full-coupling effects among all the vehicles of the traffic flow, bridge and wind, the dynamic response of each individual vehicle of the stochastic traffic can be accurately obtained for the first time. Built based on the recent advances made by the authors, an integrated dynamic interaction and safety assessment model of the fully-coupled bridge-traffic system is further developed without considering vehicle aerodynamic interference and shielding effects. Traffic safety of vehicles in the stochastic traffic through the prototype long-span cable-stayed bridge is investigated as a demonstration. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
