Research of Vehicle Rear-End Collision Model considering Multiple Factors

الملخص EN

The accuracy of the rear-end collision models is crucial for the early warning of potential traffic accident identification, and thus analyzes of the main factors influencing the rear-end collision relevant models is an active topic in the field.

The previous studies have tried to determine the single factor influence on the rear-end collision model performance.

Less attention was paid to exploit mutual influences on the model performance.

To bridge the gap, we proposed an improved vehicle rear-end collision model by integrating varied factors which influence two parameters (i.e., response time and road adhesion coefficient).

The two parameters were solved with the integrated weighting and neural network models, respectively.

After that we analyzed the relationship between varied factors and the minimum car-following distance.

The research findings support both the theoretical and practical guidance for transportation regulations to release more reasonable minimum headway distance to enhance the roadway traffic safety.
