Severity Modeling of Work Zone Crashes in New Jersey Using Machine Learning Models
In the United States, the probability of work zone crashes has increased due to an increase in renovation works by transportation infrastructures. The severity of work zone crashes is associated with … [Read more...] about Severity Modeling of Work Zone Crashes in New Jersey Using Machine Learning Models
An Empirical Assessment on the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Factors in Work-Zone Crashes With Unobserved Heterogeneity
Work zones are uniquely configured and managed by special traffic signs, standard channelizing devices, appropriate barriers, and pavement markings. Unexpected driving conditions through different … [Read more...] about An Empirical Assessment on the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Factors in Work-Zone Crashes With Unobserved Heterogeneity
An Empirical Analysis of Driver Injury Severities in Work-Zone and Non-Work-Zone Crashes Involving Single-Vehicle Large Trucks
This study investigates the contributing factors influencing the driver injury severity of single, large truck crashes in work zones, as Florida ranks among the states with the highest rates of … [Read more...] about An Empirical Analysis of Driver Injury Severities in Work-Zone and Non-Work-Zone Crashes Involving Single-Vehicle Large Trucks
Assessment of Commercial Truck Driver Injury Severity Based on Truck Configuration Along a Mountainous Roadway Using Hierarchical Bayesian Random Intercept Approach
For the last decade, disaggregate modeling approach has been frequently practiced to analyze truck-involved crash injury severity. This included truck-involved crashes based on single and … [Read more...] about Assessment of Commercial Truck Driver Injury Severity Based on Truck Configuration Along a Mountainous Roadway Using Hierarchical Bayesian Random Intercept Approach
