Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: A road safety remedial programme has as an objective the improvement of road transportation safety by applying road safety engineering remedial measures to hazardous road network elements in a manner that will be economically efficient. Since accident data is the primary manifestation of poor safety levels it must be analysed in manner that will support the overall objective of economic efficiency. Three steps in the process of implementing a road safety remedial programme, that rely on the systematic analysis of accident data, are the identification of hazardous locations, the ranking of hazardous locations and the evaluation of remedial measure effectiveness. The efficiency of a road safety remedial programme can be enhanced by using appropriate methodologies to measure safety, identify and rank hazardous locations and to determine the effectiveness of road safety remedial measures. There are a number of methodologies available to perform these tasks, although some perform much better than other. Methodologies based on the Empirical Bayesian approach generally provide better results than the Conventional methods. Bayesian methodologies are not often used in South Africa. To do so would require the additional training of students and engineering professionals as well as more research by tertiary and other research institutions. The efficiency of a road safety remedial programme can be compromised by using poor quality accident data. In South Africa the quality of accident data is generally poor and should more attention be given to the proper management and control of accident data. This thesis will report on, investigate and evaluate Bayesian and Conventional accident data analysis methodologies.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van 'n padveiligheidsverbeteringsprogram is om op die mees koste effektiewe manier die veiligheid van onveilige padnetwerkelemente te verbeter deur die toepassing van ingenieursmaatreëls. Aangesien padveiligheid direk verband hou met verkeersongelukke vereis die koste effektiewe implementering van 'n padveiligheidsverbeteringsprogram die doelgerigte en korrekte ontleding van ongeluksdata. Om 'n padveiligheidsverbeteringsprogram te implementeer word die ontleding van ongeluksdata verlang vir die identifisering en priortisering van gevaarkolle, sowel as om die effektiwiteit van verbeteringsmaatreëls te bepaal. Die koste effektiwiteit van 'n padveiligheidsverbeteringsprogram kan verbeter word deur die regte metodes te kies om padveiligheid te meet, gevaarkolle te identifiseer en te prioritiseer en om die effektiwiteit van verbeteringsmaatreëls te bepaal. Daar is verskeie metodes om hierdie ontledings te doen, alhoewel sommige van die metodes beter is as ander. Die 'Bayesian' metodes lewer oor die algemeen beter resultate as die gewone konvensionele metodes. 'Bayesian' metodes word nie. in Suid Afrika toegepas nie. Om dit te doen sal addisionele opleiding van studente en ingenieurs vereis, sowel as addisionele navorsing deur universiteite en ander navorsing instansies. Die gebruik van swak kwaliteit ongeluksdata kan die integriteit van 'n padveiligheidsverbeteringsprogram benadeel. Die kwaliteit van ongeluksdata in Suid Afrika is oor die algemeen swak en behoort meer aandag gegee te word aan die bestuur en kontrole van ongeluksdata. Die doel van hierdie tesis is om verslag te doen oor 'Bayesian' en konvensionele metodes wat gebruik kan word om ongeluksdata te ontleed, dit te ondersoek en te evalueer.

Full textWith the great progress in information and communications technologies in the past few decades, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have accumulated vast amounts of data regarding the movement iof people and goods from one location to another. Besides the traditional fixed sensors and GPS devices, new emerging data sources and approaches such as social media and crowdsourcing can be used to extract travel-related data, especially given the wide popularity of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, along with their associated apps. To take advantage of all these data and to address the associated challenges, big data techniques, and a new emerging field called data science, are currently receiving more and more attention. Data science employs techniques and theories from many fields such as statistics, machine learning, data mining, analytical models and computer programming to solve the data analysis task. It is therefore timely and important to explore how data science may be best employed for transportation data analysis. In this doctoral study, an integrative approach is proposed for data science applications in ITS. The proposed approach constitutes to an integration of multiple steps in the data analysis process, or integration of different models to build a more powerful one. The integrative approach is applied and tested on two case studies: border crossing delay prediction and traffic accident data analysis.
For the first case study, a two-step border crossing delay prediction model is proposed, consisting of a short-term traffic volume prediction model and a multi-server queueing model. As such, this can be seen as an integration of data-driven models and analytical models. For the first step, the short-term traffic volume prediction model, an integration of data "width" decreasing (i.e., data grouping) step and model development step is applied. For model development, a model combination step of a Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model (SARIMA) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) is applied to realize better performance than when using each single model. In addition, the spinning network (SPN) forecasting paradigm is enhanced for border crossing traffic prediction through the utilization of a dynamic time warping (DTW) similarity metric. The DTW-SPN is shown to yield several advantages such as computational efficiency and accuracy as demonstrated by a promising Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) compared to SARIMA and SVR.
This dissertation also proposes the introduction of a data diagnosis step before short-term traffic prediction. In order to develop a methodology for model selection guidance, the author calculated the statistical measures of nonlinearity and complexity for multiple datasets and correlated those to the performances of multiple models SARIMA, SVR and k nearest neighbor (k-NN). Based on this, useful insights are revealed pertaining to parameter setting and model selection based on the data diagnosis results.
For the second step, namely the queueing model development, heuristic solutions are presented for two types of queueing models M/E K/n and BMAP/PH/n. These models take the predicted traffic volume as input, and use it to calculate future waiting time. The analytical results are compared to the results from a VISSIM model simulation results, and shown to be comparable. . Finally, an android smartphone app, which utilizes the two-step border prediction model methodology described above, is developed to collect, share and predict waiting time at the three Niagara Frontier border crossings.
For the second case study involving traffic accident data analysis, first an integration of a data "depth" decreasing step and a model development step is once again applied. To do this, the modularity-optimizing community detection algorithm is used to cluster the dataset, and for each cluster, the association rule algorithm is applied to yield insight into traffic accident hotspots and incident clearance time. The results show that more meaningful association rules can be derived when the data is clustered compared to when using the whole dataset directly. Secondly, an integration of a data "width" decreasing step (variable selection) and model development step is applied for real-time traffic accident risk prediction. For this, a novel variable selection method based on the Frequent Pattern tree (FP tree) algorithm is proposed and tested, before applying Bayesian networks and the k-NN algorithms. The experiment shows the models based on variables selected by FP tree always performed better than those using variables selected by the random forecast method. Lastly, an integration of the data mining model, M5P tree, and the hazard-based duration model (HBDM) statistical method is applied to traffic accident duration prediction. The M5P-HBDM method is shown to be capable of identifying more meaningful factors that impact the traffic accident duration, and to have a better prediction performance, than either M5P or HBDM.
The two case studies considered in this dissertation serve to illustrate the advantages of an integrative data science approach to analyzing transportation data. With this approach, invaluable insight is gained that can help solve transportation problems and guide public policy.

Full textIn the analysis and investigation of traffic-related topics users must be responsible for locating relevant and current data. There are no guarantees that all necessary information can be combined in the requested way. This puts higher demand on knowledge in data management when it comes to preventing accidents in traffic. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility to combine different data to create a generic database that can be used in work with road safety. With the help of this database, the accident statistics for traffic locations in Region Västmanland have been examined in an attempt to identify contributing causes of accidents. The focus has been on developing and using a generic database. By collecting and adapting data from NVDB and STRADA, different types of analyzes have been made in the programs QGIS and R, with the aim of finding connections between parameters and traffic accidents. In addition, three interviews were conducted with relevant experts. The result was that today it is not realistic to be able to create a generic database containing the large amount of information that is requested. It is because the structure of the data needs to be updated and adapted. But also because there is a lack of technical knowledge in the field to automate the process sought. The results showed that regarding the it was not possible to find statistical correlations with traffic accidents. The wide spread in traffic accidents make it difficult to find specific correlations between individual factors and accidents. Therefore the study suggests that more interchanges get integrated into the database or an extended statistical analysis of the current database.

CAPEs
Sendo os acidentes de trânsito um problema mundial, este estudo descreve e analisa os acidentes ocorridos nas rodovias federais do estado de Pernambuco, entre os anos 2007-2012. Para a análise dos resultados, utilizou-se como opções metodológicas a análise descritiva e exploratória, através da análise de correspondência simples e múltipla. Diante das análises exploratórias, deseja-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre as associações e configurações das ocorrências e de seus fatores envolvidos, traçando os perfis dos acidentes e dos condutores dos veículos. Entre os principais resultados encontrados, identificou-se que a BR-101 é a rodovia federal com maior número de acidentes no estado de Pernambuco, cerca de 45% do total de ocorrências. Além disso, os acidentes na rodovia transversal BR-104 mostraram-se fortemente relacionados com as ultrapassagens indevidas. Identificou-se o perfil do jovem, solteiro, do sexo masculino que ingeriu álcool, com nível médio de escolaridade que sofreu lesões graves, como um dos perfis que melhor explicam os condutores envolvidos nos acidentes nas rodovias federais pernambucanas. Os resultados evidenciaram, também, os principais perfis dos acidentes, entre eles estão as colisões laterais e traseiras, ocorridas na BR-101, pela manhã, ocasionadas por falta de atenção e por não guardar distancia de segurança. Portanto, as análises descritivas e exploratórias trazem mais compreensão acerca dos acidentes. Espera-se que este estudo seja visto como uma fonte de consulta do panorama da acidentalidade no estado de Pernambuco, e que seus resultados norteiem ações adequadas do poder público e da sociedade em geral, a fim de prevenir e mitigar os transtornos causados pelos acidentes.
Since traffic accidents are a global problem, this present study describes and analyzes the accidents that occurred on Federal highways, in Pernambuco state, between the years 2007- 2012. In an effort to analyze the results, it was used as methodological options the descriptive and exploratory analysis, by the simple and multiple correspondence analysis. Given the exploratory analysis, it is needed to learn more about the associations and set of the occurred accidents, as well as its causes involved, mapping the profiles of accidents and drivers of vehicles involved. Among the main results found, the BR-101 is the Federal highway with the greatest number of accidents in the state of Pernambuco, it is about 45% of the total events. In addition, the accidents on the BR-104 cross highway showed strongly related to the undue overtaking. The identified profile as young, single, male, who has ingested alcoholic beverage, who is high school level and has suffered severe injuries is the one who best explains drivers involved in accidents in the Federal highways of Pernambuco. The results showed the main accident particulars as well: side and rear collisions, occurred on the BR-101, in the morning, due to the lack of attention and by not keeping safety distance. Therefore, the descriptive and exploratory analysis bring more comprehension upon the accidents. It is expected to this study to be seen as an inquiry source by the accident rate prospect in Pernambuco state, and its results to guide government and society to appropriate actions in order to prevent and mitigate the issues caused by these accidents.
