These findings are essential for realistic pedestrian simulations and targeted safety countermeasures.
Safety countermeasures are then likely to concentrate on preventing the selected collision configurations.
In other words, there is a ceiling to the effectiveness of engineering safety countermeasures, and therefore non-engineering countermeasures such as safety education and enforcement must be sought to complement the engineering efforts at rural two-lane highways.
An accident black spot can become a "vicious circle" of accident occurrence and safety countermeasures, where a safety countermeasure is repeatedly performed, but its effect soon fades each time.
The results of this study suggested that dedicated safety countermeasures can be designed for different traffic situations on urban expressways.
This in turn can lead to more effective safety countermeasures that can substantially reduce highway-related injuries and fatalities.
A variety of different study designs and analysis methods have been used to evaluate the performance of traffic safety countermeasures.
Results of this research project will help traffic engineers to better design the two-lane work zone setup and take necessary safety countermeasures to prevent vehicle crashes.
The result suggests that there are more casualties in areas with better connectivity and accessibility, where more attention should be paid to safety countermeasures.
Therefore, to be effective as one of the next-generation safety countermeasures, the method must integrate considerations from traffic engineering, drivers' psychology, and vehicle behavior.
