Published … [Read more...] about Quantitative and Narrative Analysis of Dump Truck-Related Injuries and Fatalities in the United States
Driver Injury Severity Analysis of Work Zone Crashes: A Bayesian Hierarchical Generalized Ordered Probit Approach
Highway work zones are locations where severe traffic crashes tend to occur. Most of the extant research on work zone crash severity neglects the discrepancy in the injuries sustained by different … [Read more...] about Driver Injury Severity Analysis of Work Zone Crashes: A Bayesian Hierarchical Generalized Ordered Probit Approach
Enhancing Highway Work Zone Safety and Mobility: Risk Factors From Drivers’ Perspective
Road crashes in highway work zones continue to be a persistent issue. When a driver passes through a highway work zone, their risk of being involved in an incident is higher. Highway work zone risks … [Read more...] about Enhancing Highway Work Zone Safety and Mobility: Risk Factors From Drivers’ Perspective
Work-Zone Safety Analysis: Evaluating Rear-End Crash Risk With Extreme Value Theory
This research paper addresses the critical issue of work-zone safety, specifically focusing on the transition area where one or more lanes are reduced, leading to merging operations. Given the limited … [Read more...] about Work-Zone Safety Analysis: Evaluating Rear-End Crash Risk With Extreme Value Theory
Investigation of Factors Affecting Crash Severity of Rear-End Crashes With High Collision Speeds in Work Zones: A South Carolina Case Study
The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect injury severity levels of work zone rear-end crashes with high collision speeds (35 mi/hr). Using statewide crash data provided by the South … [Read more...] about Investigation of Factors Affecting Crash Severity of Rear-End Crashes With High Collision Speeds in Work Zones: A South Carolina Case Study
