Abstract

Our goal is to develop motorway traffic risks identification models using disaggregate traffic data, meteorological data and crash database for a study site at a two-lane-per-direction section on motorway A1 in Urtenen-Schönbühl, Switzerland. We define traffic situations - TSs representing traffic status for a certain time duration and traffic regimes - TRs obtained by clustering TSs. The models are traffic regimes – based and are developed using classification and regression trees to identify rear-end collision risks. Interpreting results shows that speed variance on the left lane and speed difference between two lanes are the two main causes of rear-end crashes.

Speed limit

Speed limits on road traffic, as used in most countries, set the legal maximum speed at which vehicles may travel on a given stretch of road. Speed limits are generally indicated on a traffic sign reflecting the maximum permitted speed, expressed as kilometres per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph) or both. Speed limits are commonly set by the legislative bodies of national or provincial governments and enforced by national or regional police and judicial authorities.

Traffic flow

In mathematics and transportation engineering, traffic flow is the study of interactions between travellers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic congestion problems.

Traffic

Traffic comprises pedestrians, vehicles, ridden or herded animals, trains, and other conveyances that use public ways (roads) for travel and transportation. Traffic laws govern and regulate traffic, while rules of the road include traffic laws and informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic. Organized traffic generally has well-established priorities, lanes, right-of-way, and traffic control at intersections.
