Identification of Roadway Design and Infrastructure Factors Influencing ADAS Systems in Mitigating Rural Roadway Departure Crashes

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Research question

Which roadway design and infrastructure factors influence the performance of ADAS technologies in reducing rural roadway departure risk?

My role

I led the proposal development and serve as Principal Investigator. The work identifies and evaluates roadway geometric elements and infrastructure conditions affecting roadway-departure prevention technologies, including LDW, LKA, and LCA.

Research connection

The project brings roadway engineering into the evaluation of ADAS and automated vehicle safety. Related prior research includes the published ADAS effectiveness study.
