Crash Characteristics

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

Analysis of Injury Severity of Work Zone Crashes on Rural and Urban Work Zones: Accounting for out-of-sample prediction and temporal instability

This research utilizes data collected in Florida to examine the differentials in injury severities among single-vehicle drivers involved in work zone-related incidents, specifically focusing on the … [Read more...] about Analysis of Injury Severity of Work Zone Crashes on Rural and Urban Work Zones: Accounting for out-of-sample prediction and temporal instability

Assessing the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Related Factors in Work-Zone Crashes

Work zones are unique in geometry and traffic management, utilizing special traffic signs, standard channelizing devices, appropriate barriers, and pavement markings. These configurations can … [Read more...] about Assessing the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Related Factors in Work-Zone Crashes

Probabilistic Versus Non-Probabilistic Machine Learning Approaches for Estimating the Severity of Crashes in Construction Work Zones

Roadway work zones often present hazardous conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and construction workers. Understanding the factors contributing to work zone crashes and their severity can assist the … [Read more...] about Probabilistic Versus Non-Probabilistic Machine Learning Approaches for Estimating the Severity of Crashes in Construction Work Zones

Comparing Performance of Different Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Severity of Construction Work Zone Crashes

In 2020, more than 102,000 work zone crashes occurred in the United States, resulting in over 45,000 injuries and more than 850 fatalities. These numbers are higher than 2019 records, despite lower … [Read more...] about Comparing Performance of Different Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Severity of Construction Work Zone Crashes
