Limitations of crash data and crash-based methods have given rise to the study of alternate
measures of safety that are not predicated on the occurrence of a crash such as traffic …

Relative to safety assessment using data from observed crashes, conflict-based road safety
assessment can potentially provide additional insights into crash causation processes …

Although there have been a number of recent reviews on the use of traffic conflict techniques
(TCTs), none have focused on the use of proximal surrogate indicators. This paper …

The large-scale deployment of automated vehicles on public roads has the potential to
vastly change the transportation modalities of today's society. Although this pursuit has been …

Recently, technologies for predicting traffic conflicts in real-time have been gaining
momentum due to their proactive nature of application and the growing implementation of …

Traffic conflict techniques are a viable alternative to crash-based safety assessments and
are particularly well suited to evaluating emerging technologies such as connected and …

Developing non-crash or surrogate measures of road safety has drawn considerable
research interest over the past five decades. Traffic conflict techniques, which analyze the …

Market introduction of automated driving features several motivations including road safety,
driving comfort, energy efficiency and totally new transport systems. However, many …

In this paper, we propose a novel methodology to define and estimate a surrogate measure.
By imposing a hypothetical disturbance to the leading vehicle, the following vehicle's action …

Accident events are generally unexpected and occur rarely. Pre-accident risk assessment by
surrogate indicators is an effective way to identify risk levels and thus boost accident …
