摘要: The main objective of this study was to utilize Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology to obtain highway safety-related information. The safety needs of older drivers in terms of prolonged reaction times were taken into consideration. Older drivers were considered because their crash fatality rate is the highest among all age-based groups in the U.S. and the proportion of their population is increasing with time. The tasks undertaken in this study were (1) identification of crashes that older drivers are more likely to be involved in, (2) identification of highway geometric features that are important in such crashes, (3) utilization of LIDAR data for obtaining information on the identified highway geometric features, and (4) assessment of the feasibility of using LIDAR data for such applications.
