Abstract: A vehicle interaction severity assessment system (100) to quantify and classify interaction severity between opposing vehicle streams under heterogeneous traffic conditions applicable to hilly roads and other roadway environments. A video-based observation system (102) captures traffic movement data from a selected road section. A lateral placement measurement module (104) extracts lateral placement data of each vehicle, generating upstream lateral placement data and downstream lateral placement data. A statistical modelling module (106) models the lateral placement data using continuous probability distributions. A critical lateral placement determination module (108) determines a critical lateral placement from intersections of probability density functions. A mutual interaction area determination module (110) determines a Mutual Interaction Area. A Lateral Encroachment Factor estimation module (112) estimates a Lateral Encroachment Factor. An interaction severity classification module (114) classifies interaction severity into severity levels. An interaction ranking module (116) generates vehicle-wise interaction severity rankings.
