Abstract:
This fact sheet highlights the comprehensive plan which embraces the Safe System Approach. This includes five elements that need to be addressed to achieve zero traffic deaths: safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, safe roads, and post-crash care. In line with this overarching goal, Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA’s) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program is sponsoring researchers at Texas A&M Transportation Institute who are developing a novel framework for traffic safety analysis. The 3-yr study, called Digital Twin-Enabled Extended Active Safety Analysis for Mixed Traffic, seeks to build a predictive, extended active safety approach for mixed traffic of human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and connected automated vehicles (CAVs) through a digital twin technique.
