Improving road safety is hugely important with the number of deaths on the world's roads remaining unacceptably high; an estimated 1.35 million people die each year (WHO, 2020). Current practice for treating collision hotspots is almost…
Continuous-Flow Intersections (CFI), also known as Displaced Left-Turn (DLT) intersections, aim to improve the efficiency and safety of traffic junctions. A CFI introduces additional sub-intersections upstream of the main intersection to…
Autonomous driving at intersections is one of the most complicated and accident-prone traffic scenarios, especially with mixed traffic participants such as vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The driving policy should make safe decisions to…
Traffic safety at intersections is studied quantitatively using methods from Statistical Mechanics on the basis of simple microscopic traffic flow models. In order to determine a relationship between traffic flow and the number of crashes,…
Speed advisory systems for connected vehicles rely on the estimation of green (or red) light duration at signalized intersections. A particular challenge is to predict the signal phases of semi- and fully-actuated traffic lights. In this…

Although intersections are the most complex parts of the roadway network, pedestrian crashes at non-intersection locations are disproportionately frequent, highlighting a serious traffic safety concern. This study investigates…
In transportation networks, intersections pose significant risks of collisions due to conflicting movements of vehicles approaching from different directions. To address this issue, various tools can exert influence on traffic safety both…
Traffic accidents, especially at intersections, are a major road safety concern. Previous research has extensively studied intersection-related accidents, but the effect of building-induced visibility restrictions at intersections on…
