Evaluating safety impacts of network planning alternatives have a potential to improve safety in a proactive manner at the system level and at a minor cost of additional analysis. This paper presents a computer-implemented GIS-based method of predicting safety for planning alternatives. Although applicable to large road networks, the method predicts crashes at the road facility level (intersect...

This paper presents a formal verification of a safety message dissemination protocol used in vehicular adhoc networks. It is proposed to use Road Side Units to broadcast road hazard information to vehicles travelling on highways. Quick dissemination of road hazard information, like road blocks, slippery roads and other obstacles can help to prevent road accidents and improve passenger safety. F...
