Vehicle trajectory data can reveal actual driving behavior patterns reflected by different road geometric designs, providing important insights for road safety analysis and improvements. This study aims to is to explore the correlation between vehicle trajectory fractal dimension (FD) and highway crash rate (CR) using large-scale telematics trajectory data. Specifically, we propose three methods to measure the FD of vehicle trajectories, and developed fractal parameter estimation technology. The results show that FD differences between road segments have a statistically significant effect on CR. A comparison of FD with five common surrogates in identifying high-risk crash sections reveals that FD reduces the false alarm rate from 52% to 94% (other surrogates) to 46%, with a recall rate of 95%. The fractal method enhances the dimensionality of trajectory feature analysis, refining the granularity of road safety analysis. It fully considers the interaction between road geometry design and driving behavior, revealing the complex dynamic movement of vehicles within the road system. This study provides methodological support for improving road geometry design and enhancing road safety.

In heterogeneous traffic flow environments, it is critical to accurately predict the future trajectories of human-driven vehicles around intelligent vehicles in real time. This paper introduces a neural network model that integrates both spatial interaction information and the long-term and short-term characteristics of the time series. Initially, the historical state information of both the target vehicle and its surrounding counterparts, along with their spatial interaction relationships, are fed into a Graph Attention Network (GAT) encoder.

In contemporary transportation systems, the imperatives of route planning and optimization have become increasingly critical due to vehicles' burgeoning number and complexity. This includes various vehicle types, such as electric and autonomous vehicles, each with specific needs. Additionally, varying speeds and operational requirements further complicate the process, demanding more sophisticated planning solutions.

The horizontal curvature of railway tracks plays a significant role in vehicle‒track dynamics, and accurate knowledge of the track curvature is essential for vehicle operators to fully understand the running behavior of vehicles. However, it is generally difficult for wagon operators or researchers to obtain track geometry information due to confidential reasons. Using sensors installed on wagons is an alternative to estimate the track curvature.
