Development of a new conflict-based safety metric for freeway exit ramps

In this article, the safety implication of freeway exit ramps is examined using a newly developed conflict-based safety metric. A multi-step Monte Carlo simulation procedure is proposed to estimate the crash probability of a conflict (i.e. the conflict metric), considering the stochastic nature of h...
