- Abstract
This paper presents a method for evaluating the potential for injury in any traffic scenario involving road user interactions based on trajectory data from a few hours of data of typical traffic conditions. The basic idea was to evaluate to what extent interactions at a location are limited in speed, direction, and whether the interactions happen at a safe speed. Specifically, the method works by applying an existing injury model to the highest observed values at a specific point in space. The injury model is used to estimate a worst-case scenario at that point in space. By generating a heat map, it is possible to analyse a location and evaluate the injury potential at a location. The method does not provide a complete safety analysis... (More)
This paper presents a method for evaluating the potential for injury in any traffic scenario involving road user interactions based on trajectory data from a few hours of data of typical traffic conditions. The basic idea was to evaluate to what extent interactions at a location are limited in speed, direction, and whether the interactions happen at a safe speed. Specifically, the method works by applying an existing injury model to the highest observed values at a specific point in space. The injury model is used to estimate a worst-case scenario at that point in space. By generating a heat map, it is possible to analyse a location and evaluate the injury potential at a location. The method does not provide a complete safety analysis with exposure or risk but instead focuses specifically on the potential consequences. The method is suitable for preliminary safety analyses that focus on determining areas of particular interest for further study.
