“…Mobile system data [ 77 ] (connected vehicles, Internet of Things, smartphones, new ways of information flow and cloud computing) enable the low-cost determination of vehicle speeds [ 78 ], vehicle travel time [ 79 ], vehicle tracking profiles (instantaneous speed, acceleration, deceleration) [ 80 ] and road safety performance assessment [ 81 ]. Data from mobile systems (especially vehicle tracking data) can be a valuable source of data for calibrating traffic models and estimating SSMs (if they are collected continuously) [ 80 , 82 ].…”

Methods used to evaluate the impact of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) services on road safety are usually based on expert assessments or statistical studies. However, commonly used methods are challenging to apply in the planning process of ITS services. This paper presents the methodology of research using surrogate safety measures calculated and calibrated with the use of simulation techniques and a driving simulator. This approach supports the choice of the type of ITS services that are beneficial for traffic efficiency and road safety. This paper presents results of research on the influence of selected scenarios of variable speed limits on the efficiency and safety of traffic on the sections of motorways and expressways in various traffic conditions. The driving simulator was used to estimate the efficiency of lane-keeping by the driver. The simulation traffic models were calibrated using driving simulator data and roadside sensor data. The traffic models made it possible to determine surrogate safety measures (number of conflicts and their severity) in selected scenarios of using ITS services. The presented studies confirmed the positive impact of Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) on the level of road safety and traffic efficiency. This paper also presents recommendations and plans for further research in this area.

“…At present, the smart phones have been utilized in researches with the widespread usage of smart phones. For example, Astarita and Festa [84], [85] use smart phones to detect vehicle coordinates and speeds, evaluate the interaction between vehicles, and identify potential traffic conflicts based on smart phone-based automobile remote information technology. Astarita et al [86] designed a client-side security management system for smartphones with GPS, which can obtain the instantaneous speed and acceleration data of a single vehicle to assess potential security problems.…”

The traffic situation at an urban intersection is complicated, due to the numerous internal conflicts and all kinds of traffic accidents. With the objective of improving road safety, the automotive industry is moving toward intelligent vehicles. The major challenges are accurately perceiving the road traffic environment, detecting the potential traffic conflicts, and proposing the alternative driving strategies. This paper summarizes the existing researches on traffic conflicts from the perspective of intelligent vehicles. The intelligent vehicles can perceive the surrounding environment, extract road condition information, and detect obstacles for avoiding collisions or mitigating accidents. It expounds that the perception technology of intelligent vehicles can be divided into three main categories, namely, the perception technology, the communication technology, and the fusion of perception-communication technology. At the same time, the existing technical problems are analyzed. Finally, future development trends in this field are discussed.

Road construction and maintenance activities cause traffic congestions and delays and present challenges for ensuring the safety of both motorists and road workers. While urban areas are well-equipped with traffic devices, in the case of highways our chances to collect traffic data and control traffic flows may be limited. Then the use of a temporary Highway Traffic Management System seems to be a suitable solution. Although the impacts of its deployment are addressed by many theoretical studies and demonstrated on traffic simulation models, there are not many references dealing with field tests. We provide results of the practical evaluation of the temporary Highway Management System installed and tested on the main highway in the Czech Republic during the road works period. Before-after analysis of collected traffic data was performed to prove the importance and positive impact of the proposed solution. We demonstrate an over 20% increase in the capacity of the roadwork zone and an almost 30 seconds decrease in average delay for one vehicle Highway administrators can use the results to justify investments into the temporary deployment of mobile traffic management systems.
