Uncovering the Root Causes to Truck Rollover Crashes on Ramps
项目名称: Uncovering the Root Causes to Truck Rollover Crashes on Ramps
摘要: This project will provide a better understanding of the causes of truck rollover crashes on highway ramps, and develop effective countermeasures (e.g., improved ramp design and traffic control). More specifically, the study will (1) review literature and best practices on reducing highway ramp truck rollovers; (2) analyze historical ramp truck rollover data in Massachusetts by utilizing existing traffic cameras on state-maintained highways and advanced video analytics tools to uncover the causes of truck rollovers on highway ramps and derive surrogate safety performance measures; and (3) establish correlations between truck rollovers and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices, signage and markings, and roadway design practices.
