in recent research on modelling road collisions very little attention has been paid  to rear-end chain reaction collisions, which is characterized by more than two vehicles involved in a collision at the same time. the core aim of the present research is to develop a methodology to estimate such potential collision probabilities based on a proactive perspective, where deceleration rate to avoid...

This study presents a surrogate safety measure for evaluating the rear-end collision risk related to kinematic waves near freeway recurrent bottlenecks using aggregated traffic data from ordinary loop detectors. The attributes of kinematic waves that accompany rear-end collisions and the traffic conditions at detector stations spanning the collision locations were examined to develop the rear-e...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the effectiveness of rear-end collision warnings presented in different sensory modalities as a function of warning timing in a driving simulator. BACKGROUND The proliferation of in-vehicle information and entertainment systems threatens driver attention and may increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Collision warning systems have been shown to improve inatten...

Rear-end traffic collision has been a crucial problem due to numerous injury even death and corresponding economic and social damage. In order to eliminate these threats, a large number of researchers have paid effort on this area, with timeconsuming artificial intelligence-inspired methods or mathematical method in strict assumptions. In this paper, we propose a VANET-based real-time rear-end ...

Two experiments were carried out in a moving-base simulator, in which truck drivers of varying experience levels encountered a rear-end collision scenario on a low-friction road surface, with and without an electronic stability control (ESC) system. In the first experiment, the drivers experienced one instance of the rear-end scenario unexpectedly, and then several instances of a version of the...

Portable devices like tablet PCs and smart phones are being used more often these days within the vehicular environment. Drivers use them for listening to music, navigation assistance, accessing internet and also mainly for speaking over the phone. Most of these features are made possible in the portable devices due to the availability and use of many sensors such as global positioning system (...

In recent years, many studies have been made in the biomechanical and other fields on, “whiplash” or cervical vertical sprain which is on type of injury sustained by vehicle occupants in low-speed rear-end collisions. This paper describes a cervical analysis of whiplash occurring in the lower rear-end collision. In particular, it describes the use of a more humanized biomechanical cervical mode...
