Comparing Safety at Signalized Intersections and Roundabouts Using Simulated Rear-End Conflicts
TL;DR: A microscopic simulation model was used to compare the pattern of traffic conflicts at roundabouts with conflicts for signalized intersections and suggested that roundabouts yield reduced exposure times to rear-end conflicts compared with signalized intersection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated traffic conflict model for estimating crash modification factors.
TL;DR: This paper presents and investigates an alternative approach for estimating CMFs using simulated conflicts that are linked formally to observed crashes, and results are promising in that the proposed integrated method yields CMFs that closely match those obtained from the crash-based EB before-and-after analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Safety Performance Measures Obtained from Video Capture Data
Giuseppe Guido,Frank F Saccomanno,Alessandro Vitale,Vittorio Astarita,Demetrio Carmine Festa +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the safety performance of traffic operations at an urban roundabout situated in Cosenza, Italy by using measures obtained experimentally from a videotaping of traffic operation at the roundabout.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating speed consistency between successive elements of a two-lane rural highway
TL;DR: The safety implications of using the conventional [Delta]V85 and introducing a hierarchical model for considering individual vehicles speed consistency lead to important implications for introducing engineering treatments to improve safety along in two-lane rural highways based on the criteria of speed consistency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of traffic microsimulation for evaluating safety performance of urban signalized intersections
TL;DR: The results support the view that countermeasure effects can be estimated reliably from conflicts derived from microsimulation, and more so when a suitable number of simulation runs and conflict tolerance thresholds are used in the crash–conflict relationship.
