Analysis on Traffic Safety and Mobility for Tribal Communities under Severe Weather Conditions

Under the conditions extreme weather, potential power outage, loss of wireless signal coverage, and difficulty in accessibility may cause malfunction to the traffic signals and remain unaccounted for. The safety and mobility management for tribal communities under severe weather conditions is an under-resourced area. This research will provide scenario comparison based on scenario simulation on different alternatives for the case study region with selection and development of car following models. Accordingly, suggestions will be to tribal area traffic management authorities that can provide a safer and more mobile tribal community during the extreme weather conditions. This research can also serve as pioneering research for further traffic analysis in tribal areas.
