The Impact of Rapid Incident Detection on Freeway Accident Fatalities
نویسنده
چکیده
Incident detection systems have the potential of reducing the time between the occurrence of accidents and the notification of emergency medical services, called the accident notification time. Reductions in this time, in turn, may affect the numbers of fatalities. A statistical analysis is conducted to determine the quantitative relationship between fatalities and the accident notification time on urban freeways. Using this relationship, the impact of freeway incident detection systems on fatalities is estimated. are also derived. The economic benefits of fatality reduction

An analysis of the severity and incident duration of truck-involved freeway accidents.
Data associated with over 9000 accidents involving large trucks and combination vehicles during a two-year period on freeways in the greater Los Angeles area are analyzed relative to collision factors, accident severity, and incident duration and lane closures. Relationships between type of collision and accident characteristics are explored using log-linear models. The results point to signifi...
متن کاملIncident Detection Using a Fuzzy-based Neural Network Model
Incidents on the freeway disrupt traffic flow and the cost of delay caused by the incidents is significant. To reduce the impact of an incident a traffic management center needs to quickly detect and remove it from the freeway. In this vein quick and efficient automatic incident detection has been the main goal of the transportation research for many years. Also many algorithms based on loop de...
