Traffic Safety
Statistical analysis
The evaluation of accident data makes accident occurrence more transparent. The cause of accidents can be gathered from parameter values and attributes of accidents.
- Focuses of accident occurence
- Interrelationship between measures to prevent accidents and accident statistics
Geographical analysis
Geographic data allows the specific analysis of accidents situated in areas or road sections. Accident rates show the relation between accidents on road sections and traffic volume. They can be used for comparison of accident frequencies on different road sections. Instead of the number of accidents the costs of accidents can also be used as a measure. The resulting accident cost rate indicates accident severeness.
- Analysis of the Swiss highway and national road network
- Analysis of the Swiss part of the trans-european road network (TERN)
- Localisation of accidents in Switzerland 1994 - 2003
- Accident rates and accident cost rates in road traffic
Traffic safety and ITS
What are the effects of in-vehicle systems on traffic safety? Driver assisting systems support the driver through additional information or direct intervention in the driving task and therefore contribute to prevent traffic accidents.
