Analysing Roadwork Zone Incursions and Accidents Using A Sustainable GenAI System
Roadwork zone incursions, which refer to unauthorized or unintended entries into restricted work areas, present significant safety hazards and often lead to road accidents. While these incidents … [Read more...] about Analysing Roadwork Zone Incursions and Accidents Using A Sustainable GenAI System
Leveraging Large Language Models and Deep Learning for Construction Work Zone Intrusion Risk Assessment
Construction work zones are essential for roadway maintenance. In most cases, the traffic flow should not be interrupted, which requires work zones to be set up alongside the ongoing traffic, … [Read more...] about Leveraging Large Language Models and Deep Learning for Construction Work Zone Intrusion Risk Assessment
Identifying and Categorizing Safety Risk Factors Causing Vehicle Intrusions in Work Zones
Work zones pose significant safety risks to both drivers and workers. Identifying and categorizing those risk factors impacting work zone safety is crucial for implementing effective countermeasures. … [Read more...] about Identifying and Categorizing Safety Risk Factors Causing Vehicle Intrusions in Work Zones
A Multibranch Risk Assessment Model for Multi-Lane Highway Work Zones Based on Risk Fields and Graph Attention Network
This paper addresses the challenge of real-time safety assessment in multi-lane highway work zones by introducing two key innovations. First, we formulate a Comprehensive Collision Risk Index (CCRI) … [Read more...] about A Multibranch Risk Assessment Model for Multi-Lane Highway Work Zones Based on Risk Fields and Graph Attention Network
