Abstract:The Virginia Tech Transportation Safety Index (VTTSI) is a real-time, cloud-native framework for quantifying intersection safety using multimodal connected-vehicle telemetry and multi-year VDOT crash history. Traditional crash-based methods rely on lagged, aggregated data and cannot reflect rapidly changing operational conditions. VTTSI addresses this gap through a hybrid modeling approach that fuses Empirical Bayes (EB) crash stabilization, uplift factors derived from speed and conflict behavior, and a CRITIC-weighted multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) module combining SAW, EDAS, and CODAS. The system produces interpretable, exposure-adjusted safety scores on a 0--100 scale every 15 minutes.
A cloud-deployed architecture built on FastAPI, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and Streamlit supports interactive visualization of traffic volumes, VRU exposure, speed variance, and real-time incident activity. Validation across intersections demonstrates coherent diurnal patterns, consistency among MCDM methods, and sensitivity to observable operational turbulence. Sensitivity analysis further shows that the RT--SI is robust to parameter perturbations, with deviations typically remaining below one point on the 0--100 scale.
By integrating long-term crash risk with short-term behavioral dynamics, VTTSI provides a transparent, adaptive, and proactive safety-monitoring framework suitable for transportation agencies, traffic management centers, fleet operators, and autonomous vehicle systems.%~\cite{persaud2007, montella2020systemic, schultz2025_surrogate, Amraji2025CombinedSafetyIndex}.
