Analysis of accident causation does not allow to clearly determine the influence one specific cause. Traffic has been a result many interacting factors. Most causes classification systems have focused on errors and actions participant that immediately led conflict (eg. giving way). The actual reasons why driver failure occurred are taken into account. aim this study analysis human behavior or condition which can lead influenced causation. For purpose study, most often factors contributing...

Abstract Kriging is one of the geostatistical techniques for spatial data analysis that usually used a modelling natural phenomena or creation digital elevation models. In this paper, we introduce kriging methods in context landslide time. The proposed procedure, as well most statistical methods, designed complete sets,

Vehicle-tree collisions are the most common type of road crash with fixed obstacle in Czech Republic. Based on literature review and using real world in-depth data, this paper aims to define factors, which significantly influence injury severity single vehicle-tree crashes. In-depth data provide a comprehensive view failure system infrastructure-human-vehicle related crash, database include very detailed information infrastructure, vehicle, human participants characteristics their medical...

Comprehensive crash analysis includes calculating impact speed, which requires the determination of kinetic energy expended on deformation vehicle’s structural elements at point contact during a collision. The accuracy input data affects resulting crash. Therefore, this article aims to analyse selected factors influencing Energy Equivalent Speed (EES) using CRASH3 algorithm: extent damage defined measurement points, width, and also limit speed b 0 . variables were varied depending such as...

Three road marking types — edgelines, a centreline, and no are used on rural Czech roads, even though their impact the lateral position of vehicle in real-life driving behaviour is not completely understood. This study strives to fill this gap for horizontal curves. It considers type other factors sample 68 The modelling results confirm that, addition speed, width, factors, has an position. Based analysis axis exceedance, centreline proved better curve negotiation because it led trajectories...

Abstract Purpose Given the inconsistent application of various road markings on Czech rural roads, there is a question “How does marking in horizontal curves influence driving behaviour?” The study objective was to assess how centreline and edgelines behaviour. Methods To focus critical conditions, six secondary with radii below 200 m, were selected monitored before after marking. studied indicators average speed lateral position, which collected using trajectories detected calibrated video...

Traffic safety is influenced, among other factors, by characteristics of the roads, which include width shoulder. Shoulder was noted to have a large effect on crash frequency, as well traffic speed. In this paper, we focused paved shoulders. Previous studies confirmed that increasing shoulder associated with decrease in frequency. However, wider shoulders may encourage higher driving speed, related an increase impact speed and severity – issue hypothesized, but not statistically...

Road accident occurrence is often the result of driving system malfunctions, and road safety improvements need to focus on all basic components—the vehicle, infrastructure, users. Only focusing one type improvement does not necessarily lead increased safety. Instead, improved requires comprehensive measures that consider factors using in-depth analysis. The proposed measures, based findings from data have general applicability, are necessary determine whether gained studies adequately...

Tento článek se zabývá dopravními nehodami, kde byla únava nebo mikrospánek mezi přispívajícími faktory. Dopravní nehody spojené s únavou a mikrospánkem patří nejzávažnější vzhledem k vysoké míře těžkých smrtelných zranění. V rámci Hloubkové analýzy dopravních nehod bylo zjištěno, že přibližně třetina incidentů účastí únavy končí zraněním této závažnosti, což převyšuje úroveň zranění při nehodách způsobených jinými faktory, například nepřiměřenou rychlostí nedáním přednosti. Vznik během...
