advanced driver assistance systems (adas) have the potential to accomplish a major contribution to road safety. this is valid for minor crashes to very severe accidents with personal injuries. the allianz centre for technology attends the development of new driver assistance systems by carrying out accident analysis and estimating the efficiency of new adas. in this context new adas from differ...

This task has relied upon a combination of computer simulation and experimental testing. Computer crash simulation models were developed and validated for use in the study of factors influencing injury risk of wheelchair occupants in a crash. A wheelchair transportation-specific Injury Risk Assessment method was developed and used in the comparison of injury risk associated with various wheelch...

Work zones in the United States have approximately 700 traffic-related fatalities, 24,000 injury crashes, and 52,000 non-injury crashes every year. Due to future highway reconstruction needs, work zones are likely to increase in number, duration, and length. This study focuses on analyzing the effect of work zone duration mainly due to its policy-sensitivity. To do so, we created a unique datas...

Numerous efforts have been devoted to investigating crash occurrence as related to roadway design features, environmental factors and traffic conditions. However, most of the research has relied on univariate count models; that is, traffic crash counts at different levels of severity are estimated separately, which may neglect shared information in unobserved error terms, reduce efficiency in p...
