快速道路匝道影响区交通事故风险影响机理与安全优化设计

The influence areas of freeway ramps, including merging, diverging, and weaving areas, are crash prone locations on freeways. The focus of the proposed project is on the contributing factors and safety design of the influence areas of freeway ramps. More specifically, the proposed project will study the following research tasks: (1) to study the crash precursors of crashes at the influence areas of freeway ramps based on dynamic traffic flow data. With such information, methods will be developed to divide traffic flow into different traffic safety states, and a procedure will also be developed for identifying the hazardous traffic states at the influence areas of freeway ramps; (2) to identify the mechanism of the occurrence and evolution of hazardous traffic flow states at the influence areas of freeway ramps, and to explore the multi-level contributing factors of the hazardous traffic flow states; (3) to develop real-time crash risks models based on different traffic states to establish a relationship between the crash risks, the roadway design characteristics, the behavioral characteristics of drivers, and the traffic flow states. Particular attention will be given to understand to what extent the roadway design factors affect crash risks; and (4) to identify systematically how the key geometric design characteristics, such as the length of weaving areas, the length of acceleration and deceleration lanes, the widening of ramp entrances and exits, and the lane configurations, affect traffic safety states and crash risks at the influence areas of freeway ramps. Methods will also be proposed to optimize the key geometric design characteristics of the influence areas of freeway ramps such that crash risks can be minimized. Based on the research results, methods and guidelines will be developed to help traffic engineers make design decisions to improve the safety performance of freeway ramps.
