“…Because of the limitations of crash data and the merits of surrogate measures mentioned above, there has been steady progression in the use of surrogate measures in safety analysis [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Several studies used surrogate measures derived from vehicle trajectories extracted from traffic surveillance videos to assess risk among vehicles [11][12][13].…”

“…Oh et al [12] proposed a novel methodology to monitor safety conditions on freeways by detecting hazardous traffic events from videos. Gao and Tian [6] focused on tire skid marks to find the linear correlation between skid marks and crashes collected from selected road segments. St-Aubin et al [14] proposed a framework for automated vehicle tracking from large-scale traffic video data and showed the potential of using high-resolution vehicle trajectory data for safety analysis using TTC.…”

Traditional approaches to evaluating and predicting safety issues in traffic systems are via crash records. However, considering the characteristics of scarcity, inconsistency, inaccuracy, and incompleteness of crash records, conclusions and recommendations drawn purely based on crashes have limitations. Tire skid marks are considered an indication of some safety hazards, and it could have good potential to be used as surrogates for crashes. By collecting and analyzing the data based on selected arterial and freeway segments in the Reno-Sparks area in northern Nevada, a methodology was developed to categorize different tire skid marks. Sliding window and linear regression techniques were applied to determine any correlation between tire skid marks and crashes. The analyses indicated that there was a relatively strong linear correlation between skid marks and crashes on freeway segments.

“…Traces are factors that change an environment as a result of a collision or road accident [14,20]. The traces include both the 1 arrangement of vehicles, objects on the road as well as less visible traces of glass splatters, varnish or left skid marks on the surface [8,13]. Correctly collected traces [2] can be a valuable source of information for authorities and services involved in the investigation.…”

“…One of the main traces that enable estimation of vehicle speed before impact are skid marks. In traditional braking systems without ABS, a significant amount of heat is released when the wheel adhesion limit is exceeded and the tire is abraded [8,10]. The products of this process are visible on the roads as dark traces and are called the emergency braking marks [4,5].…”

This paper presents the possible use for IR spectroscopy to reveal skid marks left by cars equipped with Anti-lock Braking System. Detailed analysis of literature showed that there is no method that can be used in order to investigate this kind of tire marks. Up till now only two techniques have been devised. The first one is Method of Image Refinement which consists of transforming the image from the scene of the accident using dedicated graphics software. Second method includes analysis of traces using a thermal imaging camera. This study presents an innovative approach to the problem. Numerous analyses using IR spectroscopy were conducted to check the suitability of this method. The research performed on a Thermo Scientific FTIR Nicolet iS50 Spectrophotometer with an ATR attachment. 40 samples from 10 different types of asphalt were prepared. Each sample was measured 3 times to create its spectrum. The results were analyzed thoroughly using the dedicated SpectraGryph software. Analysis show that the wavelength which makes the braking marks visible is found within the mid-infrared range. Finally, it was found wavelength in which skid marks should be visible. This range is located in the mid-infrared.
