Relationships between road slipperiness, traffic accident risk and winter road maintenance activity
A method for deriving quantitative relationships between road slipperiness, traffic accident risk and winter road maintenance (WRM) activity is described. The method is also applied to data from an area in southern Sweden. If a specific type of road slipperiness represents a large accident risk despite high WRM activity it is important to increase public awareness during such periods. If the ty...
متن کاملWinter road safety is no accident.
Every winter, hundreds of drivers and passengers die on slushy, snowy or icy Canadian roads — and this win ter is no exception. Adverse road conditions in cold weather contribute to about 12% of traffic fatalities and in juries, with substantial local variability.1 Although traffic fatal ities have decreased over time thanks to safety initiatives,1 Canadians seem to have become accustomed to ...

BACKGROUND: Timely delivery of emergency care and reducing the transmission time of injured people to health centers is very effective in reducing the number of deaths and injuries in accidents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting road traffic accident relief in Iran with an emphasis on air transport. METHODS: The present study was performed through resorting to Mul...
متن کاملAutomated Winter Road Maintenance Using Road Surface Condition Measurements
Real-time measurement of tire-road friction coefficient is extremely valuable for winter road maintenance operations and can be used to optimize the kind and quantity of the deicing and anti-icing chemicals applied to the roadway. In this project, a wheel based tire-road friction coefficient measurement system is first developed for snowplows. Unlike a traditional Norse meter, this system is ba...
