Estimating the safety performance of urban road transportation networks.
Transportation planning models are typically used to estimate future traffic patterns, peak period traffic, travel time, and various environmental or other related traffic flow characteristics. Unfortunately, traffic safety is seldom, if ever, explicitly considered proactively during the transportation planning process. This omission is attributed to various factors, including the lack of avail...
متن کاملEstimating the Safety Performance of Urban Intersections in Lisbon, Portugal
According to official statistics, a large percentage of crashes are reported in Portuguese urban areas. For instance, from 2004 to 2007, about 70% of all injury accidents and 43% of the fatalities occurred inside urban agglomerations. This important safety problem has also been observed on the urban network located in and around Lisbon. Understanding this significant problem, the Government of ...
متن کاملEstimating Urban Road Congestion Costs
Economists wishing to analyse road congestion and road pricing have usually relied on linkbased speed-flow relationships. These may provide a poor description of urban congestion, which mainly arises from delays at intersections. Using the simulation model SATURN, we investigate the second-best proportional traffic reduction and find that linear speed-flow relations describe network flows quite...
متن کاملSafety Measures for Sustainable Road Transportation
This study examined interactions of environmental and safety measures for road transportation. The results showed that a vast majority of the examined measures support both policy objectives and thereby contribute effectively to sustainable transportation. However, there were also measures with conflicting effects, although the number of those measures was limited. In addition, there were a num...
