An Intelligent Driver Model Simulation Considering Both Backward Looking Effect And Velocity Difference, Yin Xu, Yun Pu, Haixu Liu, Yifan Tan
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Aiming at the phenomenon that driver adjusts vehicle movement by observing the following vehicles through rearview mirror in the actual car-following driving, an improved intelligent driver model accounting for both backward looking effect and velocity difference is proposed, and the critical stability condition of the new model is obtained by employing the linear stability analysis. Based on the numerical simulation experiments, the car following characteristics analysis during the acceleration process of the vehicle and the traffic safety evaluation are carried out. A small disturbance simulation under the periodic boundary condition is used to verify the conclusion consistency of stability …
The Impact Of Vision Zero Initiatives On Road User Safety In New York City, Alex C. Phares, Md Amdad Hossen, Kakan Dey
The Impact Of Vision Zero Initiatives On Road User Safety In New York City, Alex C. Phares, Md Amdad Hossen, Kakan Dey
Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review
Despite modern vehicles, improved transportation infrastructure, and advanced traffic signals, more than 36,000 Americans die from traffic crashes every year1. With the goal of reducing traffic fatalities to zero, New York City (NYC) adopted Vision Zero (VZ) initiatives in 2014 and has deployed 23 categories of countermeasures, ranging from road improvements to training and community outreach programs2. In this research, trend analysis and hypothesis tests were done on NYC traffic fatality data for three main categories of roadway users: motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, to evaluate the success of the VZ initiatives. It was found that annual fatalities of both motorist …
Safety Evaluation And Risk Level Prediction Of Driving Behavior Considering Multi-Factors Influence, An Yu, Pengpeng Jiao, Zixiu Bai
Safety Evaluation And Risk Level Prediction Of Driving Behavior Considering Multi-Factors Influence, An Yu, Pengpeng Jiao, Zixiu Bai
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In order to study the influence of multi-factors of human-vehicle-road on driving behavior and vehicle safety status in road traffic system, a simulated driving comparison test of six scenarios combined by multiple factors is designed. Driving simulator, physiography and eye tracker are used to collect 19 indicators related to driving behavior respectively. The differences of sample data are compared by variance analysis. The nonlinear SVM(support vector machine) is used to classify and predict the sample data. The driving behavior risk level prediction model is established, and the validity of the model is verified by the experimental data. The …
Increasing The Train Safety Level Based On A Process Approach, A.Kh. Makhkamov, M.Sh. Valiev
Increasing The Train Safety Level Based On A Process Approach, A.Kh. Makhkamov, M.Sh. Valiev
Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers
The article deals with improving the level of train traffic safety based on the process approach, provides a classification of failures of technical means and methods of their parry. The main attention is paid to the occurrence of cases of traffic safety violations. To increase the level of the DB support system, the entire process of organizing transportation is divided into four main blocks: management processes, resource support processes, production processes, interaction and control processes.

Simulation Study For Truck Restriction Strategies On Jingzang Expressway In Beijing, Senyan Yang, Jianping Wu, Mingyu Liu, He Lei
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Lane restriction strategy for trucks is an effective way to improve the capacity of expressways and ease traffic congestion. Microscopic simulation models were employed to assess the impacts of restriction strategies and truck accidents on expressway traffic condition. Parameters were calibrated and validated based on the field data of Jingzang Expressway. Five simulation scenarios with different time setting for trucks' no passing were established, and evacuation after truck accident was simulated. Simulation results indicate that the most suitable time for trucks' no passing is from 7:00 to 19:00. The travel time of small passenger cars can be reduced …
