Safety Benefits of Automated Speed Advisory Systems at Signalized Intersections
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human-driving behavior at signalized intersections may lack efficiency because drivers try to reach their desired speed without the upcoming traffic-signal information. This causes idling time, sharp accelerations, hard braking, traffic congestion, emissions, and energy consumption. Connected vehicles, for example those equipped with a speed advisory system (SAS), can provide prior information to drivers for optimizing their driving behavior while approaching signalized intersections. However, the current literature focuses only on the fuel consumption, emissions, and travel-delay reduction impacts of SASs. This paper evaluates the safety impact of SAS vehicles using the proposed approach that simulates mixed-traffic situations between SAS and human-driven vehicles (HDVs). HDVs in the model follow real vehicle trajectories based on car-following conditions. The study investigates various scenarios including the impact of the different ranks of SAS vehicles in the vehicle group, the lane-changing possibility, and market penetration rates (MPRs). The results suggest that SAS vehicles can reduce rear-end collision risks from 25% MPR. The minimum time to collision increases by 1.2 s and the deceleration rate to avoid crash declines by 0.3 [Formula: see text] on average for 100% MPR relative to 0%. The study demonstrated that this safety benefit is also strongly related to the rank of SAS vehicles within a vehicle group. In addition, the conflict locations in the approaching lane gradually move away from the intersection up to where the communication range starts as the MPR increases, which would reduce abrupt vehicle speed changes near pedestrian crosswalks.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
