Analysis of Conflict Situations in Road Traffic on Roundabouts
نویسنده
چکیده
The wrong behaviour of road traffic participants is a permanently discussed issue in many countries with advanced road transport. Such behaviour does not always result in traffic accident, but only in restriction or danger to the culprit or other participants. For monitoring the behavioural problems it is possible to apply the video-analysis of the conflict situations. The methodology of the conflict situations monitoring with the video-apparatus application is described in the paper presented. There are also results of the conflict situations analysis on the selected roundabouts in the Czech Republic. The paper refers to the suitability of the conflict situations video-analysis application not only for monitoring the wrong behaviour of drivers and other road traffic participants, but also for monitoring the inappropriately designed building elements (this hypothesis has been confirmed by the results of research, which are shown in this paper).

Cyclists in roundabouts--different design solutions.
Whether the safest roundabout design for cyclists is to separate cycle crossings or integrate cyclists with motorists is an extensively discussed issue. Studies using accident statistics indicate that a separated cycle crossing is the safest for high motor vehicle volumes. However, the results have not been satisfyingly explained. This article combines quantitative and qualitative methods in tr...

متن کاملIdentification of Hazardous Situations using Kernel Density Estimation Method Based on Time to Collision, Case study: Left-turn on Unsignalized Intersection
The first step in improving traffic safety is identifying hazardous situations. Based on traffic accidents’ data, identifying hazardous situations in roads and the network is possible. However, in small areas such as intersections, especially in maneuvers resolution, identifying hazardous situations is impossible using accident’s data. In this paper, time-to-collision (TTC) as a traffic conflic...

متن کاملGuardrail influence on pedestrian crossing behavior at roundabouts.
Pedestrians account for 10-30% of all road accident fatalities in western countries, and therefore efforts to improve pedestrian safety are of major importance. Research can support these efforts in various ways, particularly by studying road crossing patterns, and by exploring pedestrian compliance rates to safety laws and guidelines. This paper focuses on pedestrian crossing behavior at round...
