The built environment of old residential neighborhoods poses heightened perceived traffic risks for school-aged children due to their limited cognitive ability to assess hazards, underdeveloped understanding of traffic patterns, and inadequate infrastructure in these areas. However, studies on the impacts of neighborhood environments on children's traffic risk perceptions remain limited. This study aims to reveal the influence of individual attributes, as well as macro- and micro-level environmental factors, on children's risk perception using a hierarchical ordered logit model with random effects. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 404 school-aged children across fifty old residential neighborhoods in Changsha, China. The results indicated that girls generally perceive higher levels of traffic risk than boys. At the macro-level, low population density and high activity facilities coverage were associated with reduced risk perceptions among children. At the micro-level, obstructed views of intersections, curbside parking, and road damage were found to increase risk perceptions among children. Additionally, random effects related to gender, intersection type, intersection visibility, curbside parking, and sidewalk availability suggested the influence of unobserved factors. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, such as improving intersection visibility, managing curbside parking, and repairing road damage, to mitigate traffic risks. Policymakers and urban designers should focus on these aspects to enhance safety and create child-friendly residential environments.

由于学龄儿童对危险评估的认知能力有限,对交通模式的理解不充分,以及这些地区基础设施的不足,旧住宅区的建成环境给学龄儿童带来了更高的交通风险感知。然而,关于邻里环境对儿童交通风险感知影响的研究仍然有限。本研究旨在利用具有随机效应的分层有序logit模型揭示个体属性以及宏观和微观环境因素对儿童风险感知的影响。通过对长沙市50个老旧小区404名学龄儿童进行问卷调查,收集数据。结果表明,女孩普遍认为交通风险高于男孩。在宏观层面上,低人口密度和高活动设施覆盖率与儿童风险认知降低有关。在微观层面上,十字路口遮挡的视野、路边停车和道路损坏都增加了儿童的风险认知。此外,与性别、交叉口类型、交叉口能见度、路边停车和人行道可用性相关的随机效应表明未观察因素的影响。研究结果强调了有针对性的干预措施的必要性,例如提高交叉路口的能见度,管理路边停车,修复道路损坏,以减轻交通风险。政策制定者和城市设计师应该关注这些方面,以提高安全性,创造儿童友好的居住环境。

Understanding drivers’ reactions to in-vehicle forward collision warnings (FCWs) is vital for advancing FCW design and improving road safety. However, past studies often used aggregated safety measures to analyze the drivers’ reactions to FCWs, thereby at the microscopic level, limiting our ability to understand drivers’ reactions to FCWs at particular timestamps immediately after FCWs are issued. Additionally, there has been a notable absence of studies at the macroscopic perspective focusing on analyzing how drivers’ reactions to FCWs evolve over an extended period of time. To overcome these two limitations, this study proposes a new research framework using Functional data analysis (FDA) approach to model driver behavior profile in response to FCWs at both microscopic and macroscopic longitudinal levels. Real-world FCW data collected from the New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment project is used for the case study. At the microscopic level, a sparse functional design is adopted to model driver behavior profiles, accounting for irregularly spaced functional measurements. Nonparametric functional linear regression is then used to estimate the drivers’ reactions to FCWs at a particular timestamp immediately after FCWs are issued. At the macroscopic level, the functional two-sample test and a functional distance metric are used to examine changes in drivers’ reactions to FCWs over the study period and quantify the magnitude of these changes. Time to collision (TTC) and modified time to collision (MTTC) measures are used to represent driver behavior profiles, and both TTC and MTTC after FCWs are issued are modeled as functions with respect to time based on the proposed FDA approach. Compared to using aggregated safety measures including minimum TTC and MTTC as well as mean TTC and MTTC, new patterns of drivers’ reactions to FCWs are unveiled at both microscopic and macroscopic longitudinal levels. Study outputs reveal several key insights, including driver compensation behavior that escalates safety risk after an initial safety improvement and the diminishing safety benefits of FCWs from the beginning to the end of the after period. The proposed research framework can be generalized to analyze various types of in-vehicle driver warnings at both microscopic and macroscopic longitudinal levels. The findings of this study can support the calibration of detailed driver response behavior to in-vehicle warnings and facilitate the design of driver warning applications and further investigation of their safety benefits.
了解驾驶员对车载前方碰撞警告(FCWs)的反应,对于推进前方碰撞警告设计和提高道路安全至关重要。然而,过去的研究通常使用聚合安全措施来分析驾驶员对燃料燃料的反应,因此在微观层面上,限制了我们在燃料燃料发布后立即在特定时间点了解驾驶员对燃料燃料反应的能力。此外,从宏观角度分析驾驶员对燃料电池汽车的反应如何在一段时间内演变的研究明显缺乏。为了克服这两个限制,本研究提出了一个新的研究框架,使用功能数据分析(FDA)方法在微观和宏观纵向水平上模拟驾驶员对FCWs的响应行为。案例研究使用了从纽约市互联汽车试点部署项目收集的实际FCW数据。在微观层面上,采用稀疏功能设计来模拟驾驶员行为概况,考虑到不规则间隔的功能测量。然后使用非参数函数线性回归来估计驾驶员在FCWs发布后立即在特定时间戳对FCWs的反应。在宏观层面,使用功能双样本测试和功能距离度量来检查驾驶员在研究期间对FCWs的反应变化,并量化这些变化的幅度。碰撞时间(TTC)和修正碰撞时间(MTTC)度量用于表示驾驶员行为特征,并且基于FDA提出的方法,发布fcw后的TTC和MTTC都被建模为关于时间的函数。与使用包括最小TTC和MTTC以及平均TTC和MTTC在内的综合安全措施相比,在微观和宏观纵向水平上揭示了驾驶员对FCWs的新反应模式。研究结果揭示了几个关键的见解,包括驾驶员补偿行为在最初的安全改进后增加了安全风险,以及从一开始到后一段时间内fcw的安全效益逐渐减少。所提出的研究框架可以推广到从微观和宏观两个纵向层面分析各种类型的车内驾驶员警告。本研究的结果可以支持驾驶员对车内警告的详细反应行为的校准,并有助于驾驶员警告应用的设计和进一步研究其安全效益。

Burning gig, rewarding risk: Effects of dual exposure to incentive structure and heat condition on risky driving among on-demand food-delivery motorcyclists in Kaohsiung, Taiwan 燃烧的零工,回报的风险:双重暴露于激励结构和热条件对高雄地区外卖摩托车手风险驾驶的影响

The gig economy, characterized by short-term, task-based work facilitated via digital platforms, has raised various occupational safety concerns, including road safety risks and heat exposure faced by on-demand food delivery (ODFD) workers. Often using open modes of transportation, such as motorcycles and bicycles, these workers have minimal physical protection and direct environmental exposure while working long hours on the road, interacting with larger vehicles. Prior research has suggested that their road risks result from prevalent risky driving incentivized by platform-established business models, but quantitative evidence is lacking. Furthermore, while prolonged heat exposure may contribute to increased risky driving, our understanding of this relationship remains limited. This study investigates the impact of dual exposures to incentive structure and heat condition on risky driving among ODFD motorcyclists in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A wearable sensing scheme was implemented, tracking a cohort of 40 ODFD workers during their work shifts in real time, collecting data on their speed, acceleration/deceleration patterns, incentive issuances, and heat exposure. Through a case-crossover approach, generalized linear cross-level mixed-effects models were employed to demonstrate the impact of incentive issuance on increasing risky driving among ODFD workers, including faster driving speeds, higher risks of speeding, harsher acceleration and braking, and more erratic acceleration patterns. Additionally, this study reveals that heat exposure, characterized by higher temperatures and humidity levels, exacerbates speed-related risky driving. These findings advance our understanding of causal mechanisms in two key areas of literature: firstly, the road safety risks faced by ODFD gig workers, and secondly, the broader relationship between heat exposure and risky driving. This research offers insights for policymakers to mitigate risky driving among ODFD workers, which is crucial in the context of climate change, where such urban economic dynamics may amplify climate-related inequities and place disproportionate safety burdens on vulnerable workers within the rapidly evolving gig economy.
零工经济的特点是通过数字平台促进短期任务型工作,引发了各种职业安全问题,包括道路安全风险和按需送餐(ODFD)工人面临的热暴露。这些工人通常使用开放式运输方式,如摩托车和自行车,在长时间的道路上工作,与大型车辆互动时,他们的身体保护和直接环境暴露程度最低。先前的研究表明,他们的道路风险是由平台建立的商业模式激励下普遍存在的风险驾驶造成的,但缺乏定量证据。此外,虽然长时间的高温暴露可能会增加危险驾驶,但我们对这种关系的理解仍然有限。摘要本研究旨在探讨双重暴露对高雄ODFD摩托车手危险驾驶行为的影响。采用了一种可穿戴传感方案,实时跟踪40名ODFD工人的轮班情况,收集他们的速度、加速/减速模式、激励发放和热暴露等数据。通过案例交叉方法,采用广义线性交叉水平混合效应模型来证明激励发放对ODFD工人风险驾驶增加的影响,包括更快的驾驶速度、更高的超速风险、更严厉的加速和制动以及更不稳定的加速模式。此外,这项研究表明,高温和高湿度的高温暴露会加剧与速度相关的危险驾驶。这些发现促进了我们对两个关键文献领域因果机制的理解:首先,ODFD零工工人面临的道路安全风险,其次,热暴露与危险驾驶之间的更广泛关系。这项研究为政策制定者提供了见解,以减轻ODFD工人的风险驾驶,这在气候变化背景下至关重要,因为这种城市经济动态可能会放大与气候相关的不平等,并在快速发展的零工经济中给弱势工人带来不成比例的安全负担。

Single-vehicle run-off-road crashes accounts for approximately 35% of all the traffic fatalities in the U.S during the period of 2019–2021. This paper explores the association between driving speed and injury severity outcomes of single-vehicle run-off-road crashes. The single-vehicle run-off-road crash data from 2019 to 2021 on Interstate freeways in Florida are utilized, and categorized into periods of pre-, during-, and post-COVID-19 pandemic. The partially constrained temporal and temporal unconstrained random parameters logit models are developed considering three injury severity outcomes: no injury, minor injury and serious injury/fatality. Multiple variables in terms of driver, vehicle, roadway, environmental, crash, and temporal attributes are observed to significantly affect the injury severity. Moreover, temporal instability and transferability issues are validated through likelihood ratio test and out-of-sample prediction. In the partially constrained models, numerous variables such as indicators of new vehicle, male driver, and restraint-protected driving consistently yield identical parameter values across all periods, whereas various variables clearly illustrate the distinct differences across the three periods and three speed intervals. The marginal effects in the unconstrained models also display the obvious differences across three periods and three speed intervals. Moreover, the findings corroborate the increased risk outcomes linked to larger speed differences and the COVID-19 pandemic period. These results provide better understanding of the risk mechanisms underlying run-off-road crashes and furnish valuable direction for the formulation of effective safety interventions.
在2019-2021年期间,美国所有交通事故死亡人数中约有35%是由单人车辆越野跑造成的。本文探讨了驾驶速度与单人越野车碰撞伤害严重程度的关系。该研究利用了2019年至2021年佛罗里达州州际高速公路上的单车越野车碰撞数据,并将其分为covid -19大流行之前、期间和之后的时期。考虑无损伤、轻伤和重伤/死亡三种损伤严重程度结果,建立了部分约束时间和无约束时间随机参数logit模型。驾驶员、车辆、道路、环境、碰撞和时间属性等多个变量对损伤严重程度有显著影响。此外,通过似然比检验和样本外预测验证了时间不稳定性和可转移性问题。在部分约束模型中,新车指标、男性驾驶员、约束保护驾驶等多个变量在各个时段的参数值一致,而不同的变量则清晰地说明了三个时段和三个速度区间的明显差异。无约束模型的边际效应在三个周期和三个速度区间也表现出明显的差异。此外,研究结果证实了与较大的速度差异和COVID-19大流行期相关的风险结果增加。这些结果有助于更好地理解越野车碰撞的风险机制,并为制定有效的安全干预措施提供有价值的指导。

This study addresses the issue of wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents at partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange terminals in the United States. These incidents are a safety concern, often attributed to geometric design features and inadequate traffic control devices (TCDs). While previous research has acknowledged the significance of parclo interchanges as common initial entry points for WWD crashes, few studies have comprehensively quantified the impact of TCDs and design features on recurring WWD incidents.
In response, this study collected data from 75 parclo interchange terminals spanning 13 states. A subset of 28 ramp terminals exhibiting recurrent WWD incidents, amounting to 410 incidents during the data collection phase, received focused attention. Leveraging modern machine learning methodologies, two techniques: eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGboost) and Lasso-logistic regression were applied to quantify the influence of distinct TCDs and design features on the probability of WWD incidents occurring.
The outcomes of this analysis revealed noteworthy results: the fitted XGboost model displayed an average accuracy of 80%, closely followed by the fitted Lasso-logistic regression model with an average accuracy of 78%. These models were subsequently employed to construct a practical network screening tool. This tool assists in the identification of potential WWD incident locations, predicated on the effects of TCDs and design characteristics.
The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform and guide state and local transportation agencies in enhancing the safety of parclo interchange terminals. By discerning the impacts of TCDs and design features, stakeholders can implement improvements that curtail the occurrence of WWD incidents, contributing to enhanced road safety and optimized traffic management.
本研究针对美国部分三立叶(parclo)立交终点站的错误驾驶(WWD)事件。这些事故是一个安全问题,通常归因于几何设计特征和不充分的交通控制设备(tcd)。虽然以前的研究已经承认了parclo交汇处作为污水排放事故常见的初始入口点的重要性,但很少有研究全面量化了tcd和设计特征对重复发生的污水排放事件的影响。为此,本研究收集了横跨13个州的75个parclo交换终端的数据。在数据收集阶段,28个污水处理码头经常发生污水排放事故,总数达410起。利用现代机器学习方法,应用两种技术:极端梯度增强(XGboost)和套索逻辑回归来量化不同的tcd和设计特征对WWD事件发生概率的影响。分析结果显示了值得注意的结果:拟合的XGboost模型平均准确率为80%,紧随其后的是拟合的Lasso-logistic回归模型,平均准确率为78%。这些模型随后被用来构建一个实用的网络筛选工具。根据tcd的影响和设计特点,该工具有助于识别潜在的WWD事件地点。本研究的意义在于它有可能为州和地方运输机构提供信息和指导,以提高parclo立交终端的安全性。持份者若能辨识污水处理厂的影响及设计特点,便可采取改善措施,减少污水处理厂事故的发生,从而有助加强道路安全和优化交通管理。

Drivers often encounter time pressure, which can lead to riskier driving habits, decreased safety margins, and a higher chance of accidents. Given that taxi drivers frequently experience these conditions, this study examines how time pressure impacts the driving behaviors of both taxi and non-professional drivers. In this regard, a driving simulator experiment was carried out to assess the driving behaviors of both groups under time pressure. The simulation drive included different scenarios such as a stop sign, a pedestrian crosswalk, four intersections, a school zone, a slow bus and a drop-off location. The study recruited 55 taxi drivers and 55 non-professional drivers to take part in the experiment. Each participant completed the simulation drive twice, with the second drive conducted after they were informed that a reward would be given for finishing the trip more quickly. The findings reveal that drivers exhibited significantly riskier behaviors under time pressure, including higher speeds and reduced adherence to traffic rules. When comparing both groups, non-professional drivers displayed higher speeds and riskier behaviors across various scenarios, whereas taxi drivers were more likely to commit violations associated with drop-offs.

驾驶员经常会遇到时间压力,这可能会导致他们养成更危险的驾驶习惯,降低安全系数,并增加发生事故的几率。鉴于出租车司机经常遇到这些情况,本研究探讨了时间压力如何影响出租车司机和非职业司机的驾驶行为。为此,我们进行了模拟驾驶实验,以评估两组驾驶员在时间压力下的驾驶行为。模拟驾驶包括不同的场景,如停车标志、人行横道、四个交叉路口、学校区域、慢速公交车和下车地点。研究招募了 55 名出租车司机和 55 名非专业司机参加实验。每位参与者都完成了两次模拟驾驶,第二次驾驶是在他们被告知如果更快地完成驾驶将获得奖励之后进行的。研究结果表明,在时间压力下,驾驶员表现出明显的高风险行为,包括车速更快和更不遵守交通规则。在对两组司机进行比较时,非职业司机在各种情况下都表现出更高的车速和更危险的行为,而出租车司机则更有可能出现与下车相关的违规行为。这些研究结果要求开展有针对性的宣传活动,并加大执法力度,以减少时间压力下的危险行为。为非职业司机提供灵活的时间安排和为出租车司机提供激励计划,可以进一步促进更安全的行为。政策制定者可以利用这些见解来设计应对时间压力相关风险的策略。

This study employs a partially temporally constrained modeling approach to examine spatiotemporal variations in driver injury severity in single-vehicle large truck crashes across different terrains in California, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how specific factors influencing injury outcomes may change over time. Utilizing crash data from January 1st, 2015, to December 31st, 2017, obtained from the Highway Safety Information System, this study categorizes terrains as flat, rolling, and mountainous terrain and employs a random parameter multinomial logit model with heterogeneity in means and variance to account for potential heterogeneity in crash injury outcomes. This approach helps understand how different terrains influence injury severities while allowing for parameter variability across observations. The analysis is further enriched by likelihood ratio tests to verify the stability and temporal transferability of the model estimates across different terrains and years. Notably, the study identifies truck overturning as the first and second event in a crash as a consistent parameter influencing injury severity across all years, emphasizing its importance regardless of terrain or time in single-vehicle large truck crashes. Furthermore, this study takes into account a wide range of variables, including driver characteristics, crash attributes, roadway characteristics, vehicle features, and environmental and temporal aspects. The findings highlight the importance of terrain-specific elements in traffic safety assessments and the need for focused measures to reduce serious injuries in truck crashes. The out-of-sample simulation revealed a significant increase in minor and severe injuries when flat terrain parameters were replaced with those from rolling or mountainous terrains. This research not only contributes to the existing literature by detailing the dynamics of injury severity in single-vehicle large truck crashes but also announces the utility of partially temporally constrained models in enhancing traffic safety management strategies.
本研究采用部分时间约束建模方法,研究了加利福尼亚州不同地形下单车大型卡车碰撞事故中驾驶员受伤严重程度的时空变化,从而深入了解影响伤害结果的特定因素如何随时间发生变化。本研究利用从高速公路安全信息系统获得的 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2017 年 12 月 31 日的碰撞数据,将地形分为平坦地形、起伏地形和山地地形,并采用具有均值和方差异质性的随机参数多项式 logit 模型来解释碰撞伤害结果的潜在异质性。这种方法有助于了解不同地形对伤害严重程度的影响,同时考虑到不同观察结果的参数变化。似然比检验进一步丰富了分析内容,以验证模型估计值在不同地形和年份之间的稳定性和时间转移性。值得注意的是,研究发现卡车翻车作为碰撞中的第一和第二事件,是影响伤害严重程度的一致参数,跨越了所有年份,强调了其在单车大型卡车碰撞中的重要性,而与地形或时间无关。此外,本研究还考虑了一系列变量,包括驾驶员特征、碰撞属性、道路特征、车辆特征以及环境和时间方面。研究结果凸显了交通安全评估中特定地形要素的重要性,以及采取重点措施减少卡车碰撞事故中严重伤害的必要性。样本外模拟显示,当用起伏地形或山地地形参数替代平坦地形参数时,轻伤和重伤率会显著增加。这项研究不仅详细阐述了单车大型卡车碰撞事故中受伤严重程度的动态变化,为现有文献做出了贡献,而且还宣布了部分时间约束模型在加强交通安全管理策略方面的实用性。

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has recently started implementing a new signal system at mid-blocks called Mid-block Pedestrian Signals (MPS). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these newly implemented MPSs. A total of 260 h of video data were collected from five locations across Florida, with 130 h recorded before MPS installation and 130 h after installation, including both weekdays and weekends. State-of-the-art computer vision technology was employed to detect and track various road users. A random parameters multinomial logit model with heterogeneity in the means was implemented to assess safety of vehicle–pedestrian interaction by three conflict categories: No Conflict, Moderate Conflict, and Serious Conflict. Relative-Time-to-Collision (RTTC) values were utilized to classify these level of conflicts. The analysis demonstrates that the presence of MPS significantly enhances safety outcomes by increasing the likelihood of avoiding conflicts and reducing the probabilities of both moderate and serious conflicts. Key factors influencing conflict probabilities were identified, including pedestrian and vehicle counts, average leading vehicle speed, standard deviation of leading vehicle speeds, and land-use mix, all of which increase the probability of serious conflicts. Interestingly, the analysis identified three significant interaction variables with MPS: average leading vehicle speed, standard deviation of leading vehicle speeds, and land-use mix. While these factors individually had a higher probability of leading to serious conflicts, the presence of MPS effectively mitigates these risks by moderating their adverse effects, increasing the likelihood of no conflicts. These results underscore the importance of MPS as an effective measure to improve safety at mid-block crossings.
佛罗里达州交通部(FDOT)最近开始在中段街区实施一种新的信号系统,称为中段街区行人信号系统(MPS)。本研究旨在评估这些新实施的 MPS 的有效性。在佛罗里达州的五个地点共收集了 260 小时的视频数据,其中 130 小时记录在 MPS 安装之前,130 小时记录在安装之后,包括工作日和周末。采用了最先进的计算机视觉技术来检测和跟踪各种道路使用者。采用具有均值异质性的随机参数多项式对数模型,按三个冲突类别评估车辆与行人互动的安全性:无冲突、中度冲突和严重冲突。采用相对碰撞时间(RTTC)值来划分这些冲突等级。分析表明,多点停车系统的存在提高了避免冲突的可能性,降低了中度和严重冲突的概率,从而显著增强了安全效果。分析确定了影响冲突概率的关键因素,包括行人和车辆数量、平均领先车速、领先车速标准偏差和土地使用组合,所有这些因素都会增加严重冲突的概率。有趣的是,分析发现了三个与 MPS 重要的交互变量:平均领先车速、领先车速标准偏差和土地使用组合。虽然这些因素单独导致严重冲突的概率较高,但 MPS 的存在通过缓和其不利影响而有效降低了这些风险,增加了不发生冲突的可能性。这些结果凸显了多点停车系统作为改善街区中间交叉口安全的有效措施的重要性。

Examining the relationship between streetscape features and road traffic crashes is vital for enhancing roadway safety. Traditional field surveys are often inefficient and lack comprehensive spatial coverage. Leveraging street view images (SVIs) and deep learning techniques provides a cost-effective alternative for extracting streetscape features. However, prior studies often rely solely on semantic segmentation, overlooking distinctions in feature shapes and contours. This study addresses these limitations by combining semantic segmentation and object detection networks to comprehensively measure streetscape features from Baidu SVIs. Semantic segmentation identifies pixel-level proportions of features such as roads, sidewalks, buildings, fences, trees, and grass, while object detection captures discrete elements like vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic lights. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression models are employed to analyze the impact of these features on three crash types: vehicle-vehicle (VCV), vehicle–pedestrian (VCP), and single-vehicle crashes (SVC). Results show that incorporating streetscape features from combined deep learning methods significantly improves crash prediction. Vehicles have a significant impact on VCV and SVC crashes, whereas pedestrians predominantly affect VCP crashes. Road surfaces, sidewalks, and plants are associated with increased crash risks, while buildings and trees correlate with reduced vehicle crash frequencies. This study highlights the advantages of integrating semantic segmentation and object detection for streetscape analysis and underscores the critical role of environmental characteristics in road traffic crashes. The findings provide actionable insights for urban planning and traffic safety strategies.
研究街景特征与道路交通事故之间的关系对于提高道路安全至关重要。传统的实地调查往往效率低下,而且缺乏全面的空间覆盖。利用街景图像(SVI)和深度学习技术为提取街景特征提供了一种具有成本效益的替代方法。然而,之前的研究往往只依赖于语义分割,忽略了特征形状和轮廓的区别。本研究结合语义分割和物体检测网络,从百度 SVI 中全面测量街景特征,从而解决了这些局限性。语义分割可识别道路、人行道、建筑物、围栏、树木和草地等特征的像素级比例,而物体检测则可捕捉车辆、行人和交通灯等离散元素。采用零膨胀负二项回归模型来分析这些特征对三种碰撞类型的影响:车辆-车辆(VCV)、车辆-行人(VCP)和单车碰撞(SVC)。结果表明,结合深度学习方法的街景特征可显著改善碰撞预测。车辆对 VCV 和 SVC 碰撞事故有重大影响,而行人则主要影响 VCP 碰撞事故。路面、人行道和植物与碰撞风险增加有关,而建筑物和树木则与车辆碰撞频率降低有关。这项研究凸显了将语义分割和物体检测整合到街景分析中的优势,并强调了环境特征在道路交通事故中的关键作用。研究结果为城市规划和交通安全战略提供了可行的见解。

Ensuring driving operational safety in emergency scenarios is paramount for autonomous vehicles to prevent accidents, particularly when vehicle motion completely depends on autonomous systems. Numerous factors must be evaluated when designing emergency collision avoidance strategies for critical situations, such as trajectory feasibility, vehicle motion stability, and driver comfort. Therefore, this study proposes a framework for emergency operation that uses collision-free area calculations to inform maneuver decisions and facilitate collision avoidance trajectory planning, preventing vehicle collisions. In case of danger, the emergency maneuver decision module evaluates the safety level and selects safety terminal state by considering a pre-specified cluster of candidate maneuvers before generating trajectories. This process avoids infeasible trajectories and selects maneuvers for greater driver comfort when available. Subsequently, the dynamic trajectory planning module converts the collision-free area into mixed-integer constraints, utilizing time-varying Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) for trajectory planning and ensuring vehicle motion stability by integrating dynamic and collision-free constraints throughout the motion planning process. Eventually, simulations and field testing validate the framework’s effectiveness, mitigating collisions in emergency scenarios with prompt and safe operations. The framework is designed to function autonomously, independent of the intelligent driving system, engaging only during risk events and restoring control to the driver or the intelligent system after the event.
确保紧急情况下的驾驶操作安全是自动驾驶车辆防止事故发生的首要任务,尤其是当车辆运动完全依赖于自动驾驶系统时。在为危急情况设计紧急避撞策略时,必须评估众多因素,如轨迹可行性、车辆运动稳定性和驾驶员舒适度。因此,本研究提出了一种紧急操作框架,利用无碰撞区域计算为机动决策提供信息,促进避撞轨迹规划,防止车辆碰撞。在发生危险时,紧急机动决策模块会评估安全等级,并在生成轨迹之前通过考虑预先指定的候选机动集群来选择安全终端状态。这一过程可避免不可行的轨迹,并在可行的情况下选择能让驾驶员更舒适的操纵。随后,动态轨迹规划模块将无碰撞区域转换为混合整数约束,利用时变非线性模型预测控制(NMPC)进行轨迹规划,并通过在整个运动规划过程中整合动态和无碰撞约束来确保车辆运动的稳定性。最终,模拟和现场测试验证了该框架的有效性,在紧急情况下,该框架能够迅速、安全地减少碰撞。该框架可独立于智能驾驶系统自主运行,仅在风险事件发生时介入,并在事件发生后将控制权交还给驾驶员或智能系统。
