A Review of Vehicle-to-Vulnerable Road User Collisions on Limited-Access Highways to Support the Development of Automated Vehicle Safety Assessments by Husam Muslim, Jacobo Antona-Makoshi

“…This study aims to provide evidence to support the development of automated vehicle (AV) safety assessments that consider the possible presence of non-motorized vulnerable road-users (VRUs) on limited-access highways. Although limited-access highways are designed to accommodate high-speed motor vehicles, collisions involving VRUs on such roadways are frequently reported. …”

Longitudinal Degradation of Pavement Marking Detectability for Mobile LiDAR Sensing Technology in Real-World Use by Byoung-Keon D. Park, James R. Sayer, André D. Clover, Matthew P. Reed

“…This study used low-cost mobile multi-beam LiDAR to assess the performance of several types of pavement marking materials installed on a limited-access highway in various conditions, and quantified the degradation in detection performance over three years. …”

Evaluation of Truck Lane Restriction on Non-Limited Access Urban Arterials by Judith L. Mwakalonge, Ph.D., E.I.T., Ren Moses

“…The strategy of managing truck traffic through truck lane restriction is very prevalent on limited access highways in Florida and other States. The perceived and real success of truck lane restriction on freeways have led to increasing demands from the public for highway agencies to institute similar measures on non-limited access highways. …”

Investigating the Potential of a Scenario Catalogue for Automated Driving Safety Evaluation to Cover Real-World Crashes by Marko Medojevic, Hisashi Imanaga, Jacobo Antona-Makoshi, Maki Kawakoshi, Hideaki Satoh

“…In this study, the authors adopt a functional scenario catalogue initially conceived by JAMA to evaluate automated driving safety on limited access highways. The potential of this catalogue to cover real-world crashes was investigated by comparing each scenario in the catalogue with crash patterns from two international data sources: the 2007 NHTSA’s pre-crash scenario typology for crash avoidance research report, and the 2020 IGLAD’s codebook. …”

Genetic Variants in the Bone Morphogenic Protein Gene Family Modify the Association between Residential Exposure to Traffic and Peripheral Arterial Disease. by Cavin K Ward-Caviness, Lucas M Neas, Colette Blach, Carol S Haynes, Karen LaRocque-Abramson, Elizabeth Grass, Elaine Dowdy, Robert B Devlin, David Diaz-Sanchez, Wayne E Cascio, Marie Lynn Miranda, Simon G Gregory, Svati H Shah, William E Kraus, Elizabeth R Hauser

“…Traffic exposure was estimated via the distance from the primary residence to the nearest major roadway, defined as the nearest limited access highways or major arterial. The rs755249-traffic exposure interaction was associated with PAD at a genome-wide significant level (P = 2.29x10-8) in European-Americans. …”
