Road safety of passing maneuvers: A bivariate extreme value theory approach under non-stationary conditions

Cavadas, Joana (author), Azevedo, Carlos Lima (author), Farah, H. (author), Ferreira, Ana (author)

Observed accidents have been the main resource for road safety analysis over the past decades. Although such reliance seems quite straightforward, the rare nature of these events has made safety difficult to assess, especially for new and innovative traffic treatments. Surrogate measures of safety have allowed to step away from traditional...
