Road traffic accidents have been on the increase ever since in Tanzania, despite some considerable efforts to minimise the problem. Road safety management is widely used worldwide in various forms and at different levels of refinement to manage traffic safety. Safety Management System (SMS) incorporating system approach of problem solving technique and Road Safety Audit (RSA) approach is recomm...

R oad safety is a major public health problem in developed countries. Each year, around 1.2 million people die in the road traffic system (around 3000 per day) and more than 50 million are injured worldwide. About 2% of all deaths from any cause are related to traffic injuries, and about 23% of all injury deaths are caused by traffic accidents. Globally, there is a factor of around 40 between t...

BACKGROUND Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the main causes of death and disability in Iran. However, very few studies about the temporal variations of RTIs have been published to date. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to investigate the temporal pattern of RTIs in Iran in 2012. MATERIALS AND METHODS All road traffic accidents (RTAs) reported to traffic police during a one-year period (M...

BACKGROUND Injuries and deaths from road traffic crashes are one of the main public health problems throughout the world. This study aimed to identify determinants of fatality traffic accident in Iran for the twenty-span year from 1991 to 2011. METHODS A time series analysis (1991-2011) was used to examine the effects of some of the key explanatory factors (GDP per capita, number of doctors p...

We would like to bring to your attention about the problems which we face every day. Road accident is an important problem in modern world. If we observe seriously the causes of road accidents we found that narrow roads and rapid increase of means of transport are the main reasons behind increasing number of road accidents. In general, traffic rules and signs are used to control this problem; t...

The results of an extensive literature review of the safety performances of lowand intermediate-traffic-volume, two-lane rural highways are presented. The effects on traffic safety, as measured by accident rates, of pavement width, radius of curve/degree of curve, gradient, sight distance, traffic volume, and design speed on curved sections of two-lane rural highways are covered. The following ...

Traffic Management is a huge problem in large cities. Absence of technological support to complement road safety measures results in loss of precious human lives and severe implications to our environment. According to National Highway Traffic Safety administration (Fatal Car Accidents, 2005), around 43,000 people were killed in accidents, millions of people were injured and the economic conseq...

Road network management is an important task for the economic and social growth. In the context of an Indian city, efficient road network management is required to overcome the problem of traffic congestions and road accidents. Computer traffic simulation is a better way to analysis the road network. In this study a maiden attempt for a systematic empirical traffic simulation study is performed...
