- Abstract
- An innovative feature of this study is to firstly attempt to capture rear-end collision potentials from the analysis of inductive loop detector data. Signals collected from loops are applied for monitoring individual vehicle information on freeways to estimate safe stopping distances in car-following situations. An index to quantify the potential of rear-end collisions is derived, and further employed for developing criteria to evaluate levels of rear-end collision risks. The proposed methodology based on loop detector data enables to identify collision potentials in real time. It is believed that the index would be a valuable tool for operating agencies in developing various strategies and policies toward enhancements of traffic safety. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
