Methodology of development measures for abolishing the hazardous road locations on state road network in Slovenia Lavric, David ; Rencelj, Marko
Utgivningsinformation: Road safety on four continents: Warsaw, Poland 5-7 October 2005. Paper, 2005Beskrivning: 11 sÄmnen: Bibl.nr: VTI 2005.0795Location: Abstrakt: Traffic accidents cause high material and human losses, what is reflected in society. The logical result is the need for efficient road safety in designing a new and the existing road system. One of the countermeasure for improving existing road system is abolishing the hazardous road locations on road network. Slovenia is dealing with - more or less - the same problem as other new EU Member States: the traffic safety on our roads is not on desired level. A lot has to be done in the next years if we want to catch European most safe countries like Sweden, United Kingdom or The Netherlands. One of the measure, which has been in force during the last decade on Slovenian national road network present abolishing the hazardous road locations. This paper presents the strategy of dealing with this process in Slovenia. It is composed of several phases: 1. DATA COLLECTING PHASE - Determining the amount, type and method of data collecting. 2. IDENTIFICATION PHASE - Determining the statistical method, sample size and time period of data collecting for the identification of hazardous road locations. 3. ANALYSES PHASE - Determining the more frequent types of accidents. 4. DEVELOPING OF COUNTERMEASURES PHASE - Determining the criteria for selecting countermeasures. 5. APPRAISAL PHASE - Determining the most cost effective countermeasure. 6. MONITORING PHASE - Determining the experimental and statistical method for evaluating the programs of road safety for the purpose of developing feedback information's. In the article the strategy of dealing with hazardous road locations is presented and analysed. Authors established the advantage and disadvantage of current process and proposed necessity modification in current process of dealing with hazardous road locations on state road network in Slovenia.Aktuellt bibliotek | Status | |
