Brief Detail: Dr. Arun’s PhD thesis introduces a new Road User Safety Field Theory to proactively assess traffic safety by studying the interactions of various road users at signalised intersections. The proposed theory combines road traffic environmental factors, vehicle capabilities and personal characteristics to determine the extent and strength of road users’ safety ‘bubble’ or field across various traffic interactions. By applying Artificial Intelligence-based video data analytics, the proposed Road User Safety Field Theory is found to better estimate crash risks in terms of crash frequency and severity than traditional traffic conflict techniques.
