Modeling pedestrian gap acceptance behavior at a six-lane urban road
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The illegal crossing behavior of pedestrians at unmarked mid-block sections is unsafe, risky, and increase the potential of severe conflicts and crashes, especially in the case of multilane roads. This paper investigates ...
Revealing the hidden features in traffic prediction via entity embedding
(
Springer London
, 2019 , Article)
Models based on neural networks (NN) have been used widely and successfully in traffic prediction resulting in improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Input data include continuous ...
