The opening of borders resulted in an increase in imports of vehicles. However, with the increase in the material standardof living — there was also an increase in threats, i.e. the number of road accidents and related casualties. It had to be redefined,changing legal standards in this area and the implementation of newer and newer techniques and preventive measures affectingroad safety. In the beginning...
Europa jest wiodącym obszarem bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego. Na całym świecie około 1,3 mln. użytkowników dróg ginie w wypadkach każdego roku. Około 2% z tych wypadków ma miejsce w krajach Unii Europejskiej. Pomimo takiego rezultatu i znacznego spadku liczby wypadków na drogach w krajach członkowskich w ostatnich latach, statystyki są nadal alarmujące. Każdego roku na drogach Europy wskutek wypadków...
Problem poprawy bezpieczeństwa na drogach stanowi od lat jedno z najważniejszych zagadnień polityki bezpieczeństwa publicznego. Artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie nowoczesnych rozwiązań technologicznych, których zastosowanie może przyczynić się do zmniejszenia liczby wypadków na drogach. Ukazane zostały także najnowsze dane przedstawiające sytuację bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego w Polsce w minionym...
Według statystyk każdego dnia w wypadkach drogowych ginie 11 osób, 134 są ranne. W roku 2011 doszło w Polsce do ponad 39 000 wypadków drogowych, co oznacza nieznaczny wzrost w stosunku do roku poprzedniego. Pomimo faktu, iż od 2010 roku obserwuje się zmniejszenie liczby wypadków drogowych w stosunku do lat poprzednich, Polska nadal znajduje się w czołówce krajów o największej ich liczbie. Według danych...
A serious highway accident with long duration will lead to a great delay. If the extended travel time is beyond travelers' tolerance, they will make a detour by choosing any other roads. However, the driver's behavior of taking other routes will make an impact on the surrounding road network. Thus that impact is called the indirect impact by highway traffic accidents in road network. The range of...
Evaluating road safety is essential in identifying the potential road safety hazard which could result in casualties and property losses. in this paper, a BP neural network was built by using neural network toolkit in "Matlab", Two similar roadways are used in calibrating and validating the network. The high level of predictability provided that the application of BP neural network model...
In recent years, not only in the north cities, the ice-snow pavement of urban roads has become the major cause of the traffic accidents in the winter, but also in the south cities, the contingency rescue on the ice-snow roads has been found very weak.This paper takes Harbin as an example to analyze the present existed problems in handling the urban traffic on the ice-snow road and its contingency...
Under the emergency accidents, implementation of the rescue measures is directly related to the traffic state identification. However, lacking of information collecting caused by road damage would lead to the results of identification by conventional fixed detector had a larger deviation. Although the existing way of probe vehicle with a large coverage area but also from an environmental impact, the...
The intent of this article is to analyze road traffic accident data recorded over a five-year period in Raipur Chhattisgarh, ascertain the causes of such accidents and suggest precautionary strategies for preventing or controlling them for the benefit of road users. An analysis of accident data recorded between 2004-2008. The causes of these accidents stem from different elements namely; the vehicle...
Many accidents occur today when distant objects or roadway impediments are not quickly detected. To avoid these accidents, longer-range safety systems are needed with real time detection capability. To avoid road traffic collisions, vehicles required to be broadcast their position and speed to nearby vehicles periodically. In the above said method, to implement vehicle safety systems with one or two...
Utilizing advanced technologies to guarantee safety protection for pedestrians at intersections has become an important issue because intersections are the places where pedestrians easily conflict with vehicles. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual design of an intersection bus-pedestrian collision warning system with appropriate detection and warning parameters for bus drivers approaching...
