Michael angelasTro, p.e., pToe inTroducTion The objective of this paper is to establish that vehicle speeds and crash rates at modern roundabouts in the United States are related to driver sight distance. This paper investigated the relationship between driver sight distance and passenger vehicle speeds and vehicle crash rates at roundabouts in the United States based on data collected at 26 si...

There have been many studies that have documented the application of crash severity models to explore the relationship between accident severity and its contributing factors. Although a large amount of work has been done on different types of models, no research has been conducted about quantifying the sample size requirements for crash severity modeling. Similar to count data models, small dat...

This paper presents all the aspects expected for the MediaEval Workshop. The tested and adopted solutions are well described and the interest of using a set of features versus another one is discussed. The conclusion follows state-ofthe-art findings and allows bringing new inputs in the understanding of emotion prediction.

While rural freeways generally have lower crash rates, interactions between driver behavior, traffic and geometric characteristics, and adverse weather conditions may increase the crash risk along some freeway sections. This paper examines the safety effects of roadway geometrics on crash occurrence along a freeway section that features mountainous terrain and adverse weather. Starting from pre...

INTRODUCTION Finite element models of cervical spines are used to simulate loading response and predict injury in car crash scenarios. A computational model of the cervical spine has been developed using new ligament material data including strain rate effects. Model validation is an important requirement and must be conducted at appropriate strain rates for accurate prediction of kinetic and k...

The objective of this study was to verify and validate an enhanced cervical spine segment finite element model to predict tissue-level failure under tension and compression loading. The predicted failure locations were representative of reported cervical spine injuries, and the predicted peak failure forces were within the reported experimental corridors. The displacement to failure of the tens...

As the automotive industry moves towards autonomous driving, it becomes increasingly necessary to develop advanced collision avoidance systems, crash prediction systems, and the tools for their rigorous analysis. Probabilistic traffic models, providing a statistical representation of the future behavior of traffic participants, are crucial for risk estimation in automotive collision avoidance s...
