Vision-based trajectory data provide useful information on the trajectories of roadway
users (vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles) that could be used for analyzing roadway safety
and users’ interactions. Several companies offer vision-based software that promise to
identify near-miss crashes between vehicles, pedestrians and vehicles, or bicycles and
vehicles, by estimating surrogate measures for near-misses through the trajectory data. However, the accuracy of these methods in terms of predicting near-misses has not been evaluated. Therefore, the objective of this research is to install a commonly-used video-based software, and evaluate its accuracy of predicting near-misses at a busy signalized intersection in the Lawrence, KS area. The main objective of this research is to evaluate a video-based tool offered by “Brisk Synergies” in terms of its accuracy of predicting near-misses at signalized intersections. The findings of this study will help KDOT and local transportation partners to decide whether to invest or not in video-based tools at signalized intersections. |
