Road Traffic Safety Studies

Highway traffic safety is a serious issue raising increased public concerns. According to the 2015 report by World Health Organization (WHO), globally there were 1.25 million road traffic deaths in 2013, and up to 50 million more per year suffering injuries as a result of road traffic crashes. In USA, 35,092 people died and 1.7 million people injured in 6.3 million police-reported traffic crashes in 2015, according to the statistics by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Improving road safety has been the focus of multiple initiatives, such as the Road to Zero Coalition, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD), and Vision Zero. WIOMAX researchers and engineers have done the following work on understanding and improving road traffic safety using smart DOAI (Data Analysis Optimization Artificial Intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT)) technologies.
