The preservation of road safety in snowy regions during the winter season is of paramount significance due to the presence of perilous meteorological circumstances, such as snowstorms, which can result in escalated vehicular collisions and subsequent roadway closure. In the present investigation, our...

Early research suggested protected left-turn signalization had clear safety benefits over permissive left-turn signalization. Yet, subsequent research on when and where to use protected left-turn signalization focused more on vehicle delay and throughput than on safety. Based on such studies, it would...

Reliable and accurate assessment and prediction of bridge condition deterioration is critical for effective bridge preservation. Deterioration models, combined with current condition information, can guide inspection, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation planning, and support risk and life-cycle analysis....

This research seeks to investigate crash severity predicting models and contributing factor explorations through the application of data mining models. There are 21 variables found to be associated with commercial truck injury severities. The importance analysis indicates the variable relative important...

The highway-rail crossing accident has been long recognized as a priority safety concern for worldwide rail industries and researchers because traffic crashes at highway-rail crossings are often catastrophic with serious consequences, which include fatalities, injuries, extensive property damage, and...
