Abstract:

In order to investigate the mechanism of risk persistence effects between overtaking vehicles and different interacting vehicles, two UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) were used to collect video data of overtaking behaviors on a mountainous highway. The two-dimensional time to collision (TTC) calculation method was improved to assess overtaking risk. And an accelerated failure time (AFT) model was developed based on the survival analysis theory, considering the differences in overtaking styles. The findings indicate that the average risk exposure duration was considerably extended (5.19 s) when the overtaking vehicle interacted with the overtaken vehicles, in contrast to interactions with oncoming vehicles in the opposite direction. Speeding driving style increased the risk exposure duration by 15% compared to conservative driving style. When the overtaken vehicle was a truck, the risk exposure duration increased by 19% and 42% compared to motorcycles and minibuses, respectively. In addition to the overtaking vehicle's speed, the lateral position difference between the two vehicles and the oncoming vehicle's speed had the greatest average effect on the risk exposure duration for the different overtaking scenarios.

Key words: traffic and transportation safety engineering, overtaking risk exposure duration, survival analysis, mountainous highways, driving style
