Evaluating the Operations and Safety Benefits of AI-driven Driver Information-focused Countermeasures for CAV Technologies

The goal of this project would be to quantify the safety benefits using a combination of conventional crash-analyses techniques and surrogate safety measures as crashes are still rare events and there may not be adequate data in the short-term. The innovation in this project comes from a combination of developing an industry-first safety-based recommendation system for crash hotspots while using traffic simulation software that interfaces with the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM) for the Trapezium corridor to assess the operational and safety benefits of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) deployments. Following the simulation analyses, the project will focus on on-field measurements of queues, delays, and near-misses for the Trapezium corridor.
