This paper is concerned with the problem of how to place hazardous material cars in the train assembly process so that the overall derailment risk can be minimized. The approach considers both the probability of railway cars derailing en route by pos

Runway excursions are one of the major causes of landing accidents. A framework has been developed to assess aircraft safety during landing and runway exit maneuvers using a safety performance approach, previously used extensively in road transportat

This paper provides a link between simulated measures of safety performance and observed crash occurrence. Safety performance is expressed by using a crash potential index (CPI), established as a function of individual vehicle deceleration rates requ

A systematic procedure is presented for calibrating and validating a microscopic model of safety performance. The context in the model application is the potential for rear-end crashes at signalized intersections. VISSIM® v.4.3 provides the simulati

Frequently transportation engineers are required to make difficult safety investment decisions in the face of uncertainty concerning the cost-effectiveness of different countermeasures. For certain types of highway-railway grade crossings, this probl

This paper examines automated control strategies of variable speed limits that aim at reducing crash potential on instrumented freeways. A real-time crash prediction model was developed to estimate crash potential based on short-term variation of tra

A method is suggested for evaluating the effectiveness of variable speed limits in reducing freeway crash potential. The real-time crash prediction model that was developed in earlier studies was used to estimate crash potential for different control

A risk-based model is presented for identifying highway-rail grade crossing blackspots. This model consists of two prediction components: collision frequency and collision consequence. A graphic approach is adopted to identify crossings with unaccept

In current freeway work zones, lane closure operations employ both left-lane and right-lane closure layouts. The safety implications of these two layouts are not well understood. First, the safety implications of work zone left-lane closures and righ

The likelihood of a crash or crash potential is significantly affected by the short-term turbulence of traffic flow. For this reason, crash potential must be estimated on a real-time basis by monitoring the current traffic condition. In this regard,
