Abstract EN
Because road infrastructures have significant impact on driving safety, their risk levels need to be evaluated dynamically according to drivers’ perception.
To achieve this, this paper proposes two field strength models to quantify the impact of road infrastructures on drivers.
First, road infrastructures are classified into two types (continuous and discrete).
Then, two field strength models for these types are proposed.
Continuous field strength model describes the impact of long-belt-shape infrastructure by differential and integral methods.
Discrete field strength model describes the static and dynamic characteristics of infrastructures.
This model includes four parameters: mass of vehicles, mass of infrastructures, warning level, and kinetic energy of road infrastructures.
The field strength is a relative concept, which changes with vehicle state.
At the end of this paper, risk assessment principles are listed to clarify the nature of road infrastructure risk evaluation.
A workflow of risk assessment and a case study are presented to illustrate the application of this novel method.
The result of this study shows that ① the field strength is positively related to its risk level; ② the distribution of road infrastructure risks explains driver behaviour correctly; ③ drivers tend to keep driving in low-risk area.
These findings help to explain the impact mechanism of road infrastructures on drivers, which can be applied in AI-based driving assistance system in the future.
