Highlights A systematic review of recently published articles on traffic conflict measurements based on PRISMA. Validation of SSMs is needed in heterogeneous traffic environment, especially in the context of developing countries. Importance of SSMs in new technologies like driver warning systems in driverless cars. SSMs are not adequately capturing the likelihood and severity of accidents. Study on the driver behavior at the unsignalized intersections.

    Abstract In recent times, the assessment of unsignalized intersection safety has received significant research attention because of the complex and diverse traffic movements and driving behaviour at such locations. However, priority traffic regulations are not well followed in comparison to the unsignalized junctions, which leads to more conflicts. Additionally, the severity of conflicts increases with continuous traffic manoeuvres, including right-turns and through traffic, combined with different driving behaviours. Several studies have compared crash-based analysis to proactive traffic safety measures. Current research outcomes imply that surrogate safety measures (SSMs) have the potential to elucidate the sequence of events that result in collisions, their underlying causes, and their outcomes. Therefore, to further understand the appropriateness of SSMs, further study is required based on heterogeneity in traffic along with driver behaviour that incorporates turning vehicle factors. This study presents an all-inclusive evaluation of the recent advancements in SSMs and their practical implementation, with a particular emphasis on unsignalized intersections in developing nations. The findings of this investigation would be helpful in identifying the appropriate safety indicators for evaluating traffic safety at unsignalized intersections.
