FHWA High-Fidelity Simulation and Highway Safety

The focus of this research opportunity is the expansion of the Driver/Vehicle simulation program to include multi-vehicle simulation along different types of divided and undivided facilities. Identifying the potential crash types associated with different simulation outputs and estimating the probabilities of different outputs going beyond certain thresholds may be used to estimate the number of different crash types. Single-vehicle and multiple-vehicle crash types and their associated simulation results are explored for potentia...
