Relative to safety assessment using data from observed crashes, conflict-based road safety
assessment can potentially provide additional insights into crash causation processes …

Abstract Background Road Traffic injuries (RTI) are among the top ten leading causes of
death in the world resulting in 1.35 million deaths every year, about 93% of which occur in …

Un-signalized intersections in India witnessed the maximum number of crashes and
fatalities in 2019. The nature of the crash investigation is still largely reactive, where the …

Alternative intersection designs can offer safety and operational benefits with potentially
lower costs than conventional intersections when implemented in the proper setting. The …

Conventional intersection designs are known to be problematic and unreliable when
handling the complexity associated with the heavy traffic volume and travel demand on …

Traffic conflicts were used to evaluate safety performance of a three‐leg unsignalized
intersection. With the aid of a video camera, data were collected at the intersection and 15 …

The focus of this paper is on evaluating the safety effectiveness of restricted crossing U-turn
(RCUT) intersections in rural and suburban areas based on prior control type. Both …

The J-turn intersection is a novel roadway design which decreases the points of conflict at
an intersection, by restricting straight crossing and left-turning movements from the minor …

Unconventional arterial intersection designs have recently gained popularity as an
alternative solution to alleviate congestion and mitigate safety problems of at-grade …

Several unconventional designs have been suggested to enhance traffic operation and
safety at intersections. However, the operational benefits of implementing some of them are …
