| Summary: | "Traditional crash-based safety analyses are being undermined by today's growing use of intelligent vehicular and road safety technologies. Crash surrogates-or traffic conflicts-can be more effectively used to measure the risk of crashes. Measuring Road Safety Using Surrogate Events advances the idea of using these near-crash techniques to deliver quicker and more adequate measurements of safety. This book explores the relationships between traffic conflicts and crashes using an extrapolation of observed events rather than, significantly slower to accumulate, crash data. It delivers sound estimation methods based on rigorous scientific principles, offering compelling new tools to better equip researchers and engineers to understand road safety and its factors"-- |
