Weather Conditions, Weather Information and Car Crashes
Road traffic safety is the result of a complex interaction of factors, and causes behind road vehicle crashes require different measures to reduce their impacts. This study assesses how strongly the variation in daily winter crash rates associates with weather conditions in Finland. This is done by illustrating trends and spatiotemporal variation in the crash rates, by showing how a GIS applica...
متن کاملWeather Conditions and Road Accidents in Ireland
Weather events have the ability to cause disruption to the road networks, both by making roads impassable, and by leading to a deterioration in safe driving conditions. Heavy snows in the winters of 2009 and 2010, as well as extreme flooding in 2011 and 2015, have demonstrated the ability of weather events to impact transport services and mobility. Within an Irish context there is very little r...
متن کاملRoad Segmentation for Classification of Road Weather Conditions
Using vehicle cameras to automatically assess road weather conditions requires that the road surface first be identified and segmented from the imagery. This is a challenging problem for uncalibrated cameras such as removable dash cams or cell phone cameras, where the location of the road in the image may vary considerably from image to image. Here we show that combining a spatial prior with va...
متن کاملEffects of weather conditions, light conditions, and road lighting on vehicle speed
Light conditions are known to affect the number of vehicle accidents and fatalities but the relationship between light conditions and vehicle speed is not fully understood. This study examined whether vehicle speed on roads is higher in daylight and under road lighting than in darkness, and determined the combined effects of light conditions, posted speed limit and weather conditions on driving...
متن کاملExplaining the road accident risk: weather effects.
This research aims to highlight the link between weather conditions and road accident risk at an aggregate level and on a monthly basis, in order to improve road safety monitoring at a national level. It is based on some case studies carried out in Work Package 7 on "Data analysis and synthesis" of the EU-FP6 project "SafetyNet-Building the European Road Safety Observatory", which illustrate th...
