Abstract:The recent availability of the state-wide large-scale real-time traffic database, traffic incident database, and road crash database has enabled more efficient traffic incident management. This project aims to assist traffic incident management (TIM) in Alabama by leveraging three large-scale real-time databases maintained by ALDOT including the ALGO traffic database, CARE crash database, and HERE traffic database. Specially, by integrating and linking the information provided in the three databases, this project focuses on the four main objectives: (1) predicting the occurrence of crashes based on real-time traffic characteristics; (2) detecting the occurrence of the incidents; (3) evaluating the impact of traffic incident and identifying the key associated factors; (4) Identifying and mapping the high-frequency incident-crash segment of interstate in the state of Alabama. Additionally, this project explores the potential of using HERE speed data to improve the crash severity modeling.
