Methodology for Selecting Traffic Safety Warning Messages Using Analytical Hierarchical Process(AHP)-based Multi-Critieria Value Function
Abstract
The provision of warning information on upcoming hazards leading to potential crash occurrence is a significant countermeasure to prevent crashes on the highway. This study presents a methodology for selecting more effective warning messages using a multi-criteria value function. The understandability, preference level, and message reading time were used as measures of effectiveness (MOE) for messages. Expert judgements were incorporated into the value function by analytical hierarchical process (AHP) technique. Field experiments to evaluate the warning messages were conducted in a testbed section on the Jungboo-Naeryuk freeway. The proposed methodology would be a useful tool to support the design of various traffic information messages.
