From Canopy to Collision: A Hybrid Predictive Framework for Identifying Risk Factors in Tree-Involved Traffic Crashes

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.06684v1 Announce Type: new Tree-involved crashes represent a critical subset of run-off-road (ROR) collisions, often resulting in fatal or severe injuries due to high-energy impacts. This study develops a comprehensive analytical framework to identify and quantify risk factors contributing to crash severity in tree-involved collisions using the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) database spanning 2020-2023. The modeling framework follows a multi-step process.
