This paper presents a new comprehensive way to perform safety surrogate measure analysis that uses longitudinal as well as lateral dynamics for vehicle trajectory analysis as compared to traditional methods that use only longitudinal predicted movement for crashes. The paper also introduces, for the first time, longitudinal and lateral adhesion coefficients in the dynamics to account for the interaction between the tires and the road surface that accounts for many road accidents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
