Some papers have been recently presented (Cunto and Saccomanno 2007, Cunto and
Saccomanno 2008, Saccomanno et al. 2008) on the potential of traffic microsimulation for …

Much of earlier work on predictive models for accidents has been focused on rural traffic or
urban intersections. This work has aimed at identifying and investigating possible …

Abstract 1 Microscopic traffic simulation models, VISSIM in particular, have been
continuously used in 2 assessing operational performance of traffic networks. Recently, its …

Current approaches to estimate the probability of a traffic collision occurring in real-time
primarily depend on comparing traffic conditions just prior to collisions with normal traffic …

The use of traffic crash data-based methodologies for safety evaluation is inadequate due to
the shortcomings such as unavailability and low quality of historical crash data. Other than …

Purpose–This chapter overviews surrogate measures of safety to help better understand the
related challenges and opportunities. The chapter is meant to serve as a primer for …

Recently, there has been growing interest in using microsimulation models to assess the
safety of road facilities by analyzing vehicle trajectories and estimating conflict indicators …

A microsimulation model and its calculations are described, and the results that are
subsequently used to determine indicators for traffic safety are presented. The method …

Recent research has shown that traffic conflicts provide useful insight into the failure
mechanism that leads to road collisions while being more frequent and of minor social cost …

Road collisions are a worldwide pandemic that can be addressed through the improvement
of existing tools for safety analysis. A refined probabilistic framework is presented for the …
