Tunnels are bottlenecks in highway traffic, characterized by a closed driving environment. Due to the unique nature of the traffic environment within tunnels, traffic safety accidents occur frequently. However, there are still certain limitations in the current research on tunnel safety evaluation. This paper utilizes the advanced object detection technology YOLOv8 to extract traffic state parameters of vehicles from tunnel surveillance videos, and employs an extreme value theory model based on Time to Collision (TTC) to assess the collision risks of different lanes within the tunnel. Experimental results indicate that the collision risk is lowest in the slow lane. Although the conflict rates for the fast lane and the middle lane are similar, the collision risk in the fast lane is greater than that in the middle lane.

摘要

Tunnels are bottlenecks in highway traffic, characterized by a closed driving environment. Due to the unique nature of the traffic environment within tunnels, traffic safety accidents occur frequently. However, there are still certain limitations in the current research on tunnel safety evaluation. This paper utilizes the advanced object detection technology YOLOv8 to extract traffic state parameters of vehicles from tunnel surveillance videos, and employs an extreme value theory model based on Time to Collision (TTC) to assess the collision risks of different lanes within the tunnel. Experimental results indicate that the collision risk is lowest in the slow lane. Although the conflict rates for the fast lane and the middle lane are similar, the collision risk in the fast lane is greater than that in the middle lane.
