Article Abstract

Despite abundant accessible traffic data, researches on traffic flow estimation and optimization still face the dilemma of detailedness and integrity in the measurement. A dataset of city-scale vehicular continuous trajectories featuring the finest resolution and integrity, as known as the holographic traffic data, would be a breakthrough, for it could reproduce every detail of the traffic flow evolution and reveal the personal mobility pattern within the city. Due to the high coverage of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) devices in Xuancheng city, we constructed one-month continuous trajectories of daily 80,000 vehicles in the city with accurate intersection passing time and no travel path estimation bias. With such holographic traffic data, it is possible to reproduce every detail of the traffic flow evolution. We presented a set of traffic flow data based on the holographic trajectories resampling, covering the whole city, including stationary average speed and flow data of 5-minute intervals and dynamic floating car data (FCD).

Introduction: Roundabouts are increasingly being used to improve traffic flow and reduce conflict points compared to traditional intersections. While previous studies have generally shown that roundabouts reduce vehicle collisions and improve traffic conditions, their impact on pedestrian safety, particularly in urban areas with high pedestrian traffic, has not been adequately studied. Despite the potential of roundabouts to reduce the overall severity of collisions, recent studies also point to specific safety challenges for pedestrians, including the difficulties faced by slow-moving people, changes in pedestrian behavior when avoiding roundabouts, and problems with disabled pedestrians are faced with.

Introduction: The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) offers crash prediction models for estimating the number and severity of crashes for several facility types. However, since these models were developed using data from selected states within the United States, they should be calibrated when applied to a new jurisdiction. The HSM recommended using a scalar calibration factor to calibrate the prediction models.

Objective: This study aimed to identify dynamic spatiotemporal traffic factors influencing conflict risk levels on National Highways under heterogeneous traffic conditions in India. The research addresses gaps by capturing vehicle interactions using high-resolution UAV-based trajectory data and proposes a novel two-stage methodology for real-time conflict risk evaluation, moving beyond traditional binary risk classifications to a four-level framework (High, Moderate, Low, No-Risk).

Methods: Over 40,000 conflict risk sequences were classified into four severity levels using the Modified Time-to-Collision (MTTC) surrogate safety measure.

System reliability is a critical aspect of urban transport networks. It ensures that modern cities can provide safe, efficient, and resilient mobility services. However, existing reliability studies primarily focus on network topology and connectivity, overlooking the impact of disruptions on passenger travel quality and the temporal heterogeneity inherent in traffic patterns.
