Integrating Telematics and Video-Based Recognition for Vehicle Behavior Analysis in Athens

This paper presents a fusion framework within the PHOEBE project that integrates long-term smartphone telematics with short-term YOLOv8-based video analytics at three Athens intersections, revealing that while both data sources capture consistent directional speed patterns, video-derived metrics expose localized deceleration and high micro-conflict risks that average speeds alone fail to predict, thereby demonstrating the value of combining wide-coverage and fine-grained data for proactive urban road safety management.

Evaluating Connected Vehicle Hard Braking and Acceleration Thresholds for Network- Level Non-Interstate Highway Crash Prediction

This study demonstrates that hard braking and acceleration events derived from connected vehicle data, specifically using a 0.25g threshold, serve as effective safety surrogates for predicting network-level crash rates on non-interstate highways, offering a faster alternative to traditional multi-year crash data analysis.

Significant Wave Height Prediction and Harbour Entry Risk Index (HERI) in the Sunda Strait using ERA5-Based Deep Learning to Support Merak- Bakauheni Ferry Operations

This study develops a CNN-LSTM and BiLSTM-based deep learning framework using ERA5 data to predict significant wave height in the Sunda Strait and introduces a novel Harbour Entry Risk Index (HERI) that significantly outperforms traditional wave height thresholds in detecting berthing risks, thereby enabling effective 6–12-hour early warnings for Merak-Bakauheni ferry operations.
