Abstract & Keywords
Microsimulation is becoming a more useful and powerful tool in the field of ITS applications assessment. In the evaluation process, one of the most important steps is the safety analysis. Actually, classical microsimulation outputs give some helpful information for this purpose, but there aren't sufficient for an accurate and global analysis. Nevertheless, microsimulation allows the knowledge of the vehicles' position, speed and acceleration at any time. Microsimulation gives also appropriate outputs to calculate one or several safety indicators more relevant than those deducted from macroscopic values. This paper explains the concept of a new safety indicator, which not only takes into account the probability but also the gravity of hypothetical collision. This indicator is particularly planned for highways assessments, limited to the linear collision. It gives no information on crossing trajectories conflicts like in junctions. The paper presents then a case study with the first results obtained. Keywords: Safety indicator, microsimulation, rear-front collision, unsafety density
