SAFEPED: agent-based environment for estimating accident risks at the road Black Spots (demonstration)

چکیده
So far, road safety is studies with the general purpose traffic simulation models extended towards including conflict statistics. This approach, however, is inherently limited. The dynamic road safety model should incorporate the variables that are critical for road incidents but superfluous for simulating general traffic: the characteristics of mechanical and functional characteristics of vehicles and in-vehicle systems and, especially, the rules of drivers’ and pedestrians’ behavior, including drivers and pedestrians’ awareness and reaction to each other [1]. We present safety oriented high-resolution spatial microsimulation model of car and pedestrian traffic that enables direct simulation of the road accidents and associated risks.

Micro-Simulation Model for Assessing the Risk of Car-Pedestrian Road Accidents
The data on traffic accidents clearly points to "Black Spots" that continually cause a high rate of accidents. However, road safety research is still far from understanding why this particular place on a road is risky. The reason is the deficit of knowledge of how pedestrians and drivers interact when facing a potentially dangerous traffic situation, and in the lack of an integrated framework t...
متن کاملEvaluation and Statistical Validation of Black-Spots Identification Methods
Despite the identification of crash hotspots as a first step of the roads safety management process, with various effective black spots identification (HSID) methods, only a few researchers have compared the performance of these methods; also it is not clear which test is the most consistent in the black-spots identification. In this research, seven commonly applied HSID methods (accident frequ...

This study focused on the public transport risk assessment in District one of Tehran through Fault Tree Analysis involving the three criteria of human, vehicle and road in Haddon matrix. In fact, it examined the factors contributing to the occurrence of road accidents at several urban black spots within District 1. Relying on road safety checklists and survey of experts, this study made an ef...
متن کاملModifying PIARC’s Linear Model of Accident Severity Index to Identify Roads' Accident Prone Spots to Rehabilitate Pavements Considering Nonlinear Effects of the Traffic Volume
Pavement rehabilitation could affect the accident severity index (ASI) since restoration measures means more safety for road users. No research or project has been carried out to identify hazard points to build a linear model based on crash severity index. One of the very popular accident severity index models used in all countries is based on linear models to rehabilitate pavements and this pa...
متن کاملImproving Road Safety for Pedestrians in Black Spots Using a Hybrid Vanet of Vehicular Sensors and Pedestrian Body Unit
With the rapid explosion of population, usage of motor vehicle is also increasing. This has been causing a serious issue in road safety for the past few decades. Road pedestrian injuries and death rate is also rising day by day. The research on traffic accidents shows a clear concentration of crashes happening in Black Spots. Accident black spots include steep slopes, a hidden junction, sharp c...
