many studies have been conducted focusing on the effects of friction coefficient or texture depth on the highway accident risk. however, combined effects of these parameters have not been still addressed. in this research the interaction between friction coefficient, texture depth and accident rate in 30 freeway sections were examined. the accident data were gathered and an apparatus was design...

One of the most important and effective factors in prioritizing high accident prone segments of roads for pedestrians is accident cause which up to now has been neglected in current methods. Since accidents are not additives due to various reasons, prioritizing these segments without considering the accident cause makes the selection of high accident prone segments inaccurate. In this paper, by...

This study aimed to investigate the correlation of different impact conditions to the injury severity and impact biomechanics of pedestrians in real world accidents, and study the tolerance level with focus on head-brain of adults and children via indepth analysis and reconstructions of real world accidents. For this purpose, 188 pedestrian accident cases were selected from existing accident da...

This paper deals with a study to gain a better understanding about traffic accident phenomena in Bandung City, the capital of West Java. The principal concern, which is very important for traffic management, is on the following traffic accident parameters; daily accident rate, daily accidenthazard-level, probability of daily fatal accidents and daily fatal victim rates. This study includes data...

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 ...

Many modeling approaches have been proposed to help forecast and detect incidents. Accident has received the most attention from researchers due to its impacts economically. The traffic congestion costs billions of dollars to economy. The main reasons of major percentage of traffic congestion are the incidents. Road accidents continue to increase in digital age. There are many reasons for road ...

The project MARVin is about assessing the relation between road infrastructure and road accidents. A large amount of data about the Austrian roads was gathered with the RoadSTAR (Road Surface Tester of arsenal research). This data was put into a database associated with accident data. The result was a database of about 12.500 km of road where all the road parameters (skid resistance, cross fall...
