Proactive Detection of Crash Hotspots Using In-Vehicle Driving Recorder

Spatial risk modelling of behavioural hotspots: Risk-aware path planning for autonomous vehicles

“…These events occur far more frequently than vehicle accidents and exploring the nature of these occurrences, particularly for AVs, offers a more proactive understanding of driving risk. Unsafe driving behaviours and safety-critical events are a reliable precedent of human-related crashes and typically reflect a drivers ability to respond to driving situations (Lee and Jang, 2016). The relationship between crash precedent factors and vehicle accidents has been well established in the fields of road safety and insurance ratemaking for humans (Ryder et al, 2018).…”

“…Less attention has been given to the spatial analysis and prediction of safetycritical events and accident precedents. Lee and Jang (2016) identify hotspots based on aggressive driving behaviours. In addition, Ryder et al (2018) spatially modelled critical driving events for applications in insurance and AVs.…”
