Freeway on-ramp merging areas are high-risk areas for motor vehicle crashes and conflicts
due to the variety of driving styles, the difference in mainline and ramp traffic states, and …

Merging areas serve as the potential bottlenecks for continuous traffic flow on freeways.
Traffic incidents in freeway merging areas are closely related to decision-making errors of …

The interchange merging area suffers a high crash risk in the freeway system, which is
greatly related to the intense mandatory merging maneuvers. Ignoring such correlation may …

Purpose-On-ramp merging areas are typical bottlenecks in the freeway network since
merging on-ramp vehicles may cause intensive disturbances on the mainline traffic flow and …

Transport researchers and practitioners have long been seeking capable solutions to deal
with the traffic oscillations caused by freeway merging. Although existing approaches based …

As an effective method, Traffic Conflict Technology (TCT) is widely applied to estimate the
safety level of some risky areas, especially for the merging areas in the urban roads. Most of …

The risky lane-changing manoeuvre of vehicles often occurs at expressway entrances,
which would result in a high crash risk in the freeway system and significantly impact its …

This study proposed a methodology for estimating rear-end conflict risk of vehicles on
freeway merge sections as a probabilistic measure. The methodology consisted of two major …

The introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the near future will have a significant
impact on road traffic. AVs may have advantages in efficiency and convenience, but safety …

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have a large potential to improve traffic safety but also pose
some critical challenges. While AVs may help reduce crashes caused by human error, they …
