Modelling and assessing the effects of road traffic safety measures
The nature and the effects of improving road traffic safety by infrastructure redesign and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are different. This makes comparison of such measures difficult, especially because relevant effect data for ADAS are not yet available. To address this issue, a conceptual model is presented for the effects of road traffic safety measures, based on a breakdown in...
متن کاملModelling the effects of road traffic safety measures.
A model is presented for assessing the effects of traffic safety measures, based on a breakdown of the process in underlying components of traffic safety (risk and consequence), and five (speed and conflict related) variables that influence these components, and are influenced by traffic safety measures. The relationships between measures, variables and components are modelled as coefficients. ...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES: A PRESENTATION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY HANDBOOK by
The third edition of the Norwegian Traffic Safety Handbook, was issued in 1997 (Elvik, Borger Mysen, Vaa 1997). The book gives a presentation of 124 road safety measures and covers measures in the following areas: 1. General purpose policy instruments (14 measures in total) 2. Road design and road furniture (20 measures) 3. Road maintenance (9 measures) 4. Traffic regulation (21 measures) 5. Ve...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation of Road Traffic Safety Measures
The economic appraisal of road safety measures poses the basic problem of determining which method to use for the valuation of road safety measures. Given that road safety or, to be more precise, lack of road safety is measured in terms of the total number of fatalities and injuries, either slight or severe, the economic calculation can be based on the value of human life and the estimated cost...
متن کاملSimulating the Effects of Type and Spacing of Traffic Calming Measures on Urban Road Capacity
One of the major reasons for accidents is speed. Top of Form Inappropriate speed has been identified as the most important causal factor for serious traffic accidents. Traffic calming measures (TCMs) are engineering measures that are widely implemented to improve road safety by considerably reducing vehicle speed. TCMs have been widely used in urban areas to reduce vehicle flow rat...
