The article presents a desk research on Japanese government's road traffic safety course of action. The author has studied necessary sources and materials mainly on Japanese Ministry of Land Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism official website, as well as the most actual IRTAD reports in order to collect the newest information on road policy in Japan and to introduce the complete examination of...
W artykule omówiono program bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego, jego historię i stan implementacji w Polsce. Przedstawiono również wybrane aspekty stanu BRD na terenie powiatu Bielsko – Biała. Przeanalizowano informacje dotyczące infrastruktury drogowej miasta, jego dogodne położenie na szlakach transportowych. Opisano obciążenie sieci drogowej miasta oraz porównano je z podobnymi miastami przy użyciu...
A serious highway accident with long duration will lead to a great delay. If the extended travel time is beyond travelers' tolerance, they will make a detour by choosing any other roads. However, the driver's behavior of taking other routes will make an impact on the surrounding road network. Thus that impact is called the indirect impact by highway traffic accidents in road network. The range of...
Since 2003, the Chinese government has taken a series of targeted policies and measures to suppress road accidents. In recent years, in the case of the rapid economic development, rapidly growing motor vehicle amount, and changes greatly in road safety environment, China successfully achieved the objectives that road accidents from the peak to be suppressed, until to the decline year-by-year. The...
Statistical data shows that a driver who was lack of the ability to discover potential risk situation and safe driving awareness was more probably to cause an accident. The safe driving awareness was considered as a factor in contributing to vehicle crashes. In this study, a creative method to improve safety awareness based on driving simulator was proposed. Firstly, the definition and classification...
Researched on the characteristic of the traffic flow, a new method of abnormal data detection on traffic flow based on the curve-fitting is presented. First, the historical data on traffic flow are divided into the traffic flow with high speed and the traffic flow with low speed by the clustering analysis. Then, the algorithm on the determination safety zone scope is obtained by the curve-fitting...
Under the emergency accidents, implementation of the rescue measures is directly related to the traffic state identification. However, lacking of information collecting caused by road damage would lead to the results of identification by conventional fixed detector had a larger deviation. Although the existing way of probe vehicle with a large coverage area but also from an environmental impact, the...
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) make use of wireless communication technologies to provide traffic efficiency and road safety without altering the existing road infrastructure. To really impact on traffic management, ITS should act in real-time, requiring updated traffic information; hence, the collection of small amounts of information frequently transmitted from a high number of vehicles...
When driving at night, it is difficult to detect obstacles such as pedestrian and wild animals on the opposite lane which is out of sight. Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) can be used to avoid accidents with obstacles that are difficult to detect with a conventional lighting system. The basic concept of AFS is to collect the information such as vehicle speed, yaw rate, steering angle, suspension...
This paper would like to design the failsafe architecture to ensure the stability and safety of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Because the failure in the unmanned systems can cause a nasty accident. So, first, we limit the discussion to the UGV in the unmanned systems. And then we find out failure for the UGV which consists of the variety of the hardware, and discuss the danger. And we define the...
A primary goal of intelligent transportation systems is to improve road safety. The ability of vehicles to communicate is a promising way to alleviate traffic accidents by reducing the response time associated with human reaction to nearby drivers. Vehicle mobility patterns caused by varying traffic dynamics and travel behavior lead to considerable complexity in the efficiency and reliability of vehicular...
The intent of this article is to analyze road traffic accident data recorded over a five-year period in Raipur Chhattisgarh, ascertain the causes of such accidents and suggest precautionary strategies for preventing or controlling them for the benefit of road users. An analysis of accident data recorded between 2004-2008. The causes of these accidents stem from different elements namely; the vehicle...
Many accidents occur today when distant objects or roadway impediments are not quickly detected. To avoid these accidents, longer-range safety systems are needed with real time detection capability. To avoid road traffic collisions, vehicles required to be broadcast their position and speed to nearby vehicles periodically. In the above said method, to implement vehicle safety systems with one or two...
Millions of road users and pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents each year. The need to increase road safety is one of the major concerns, and the better way to increase safety is to develop systems which are able to automatically drive. The authors have tried to extract the information of sharpness of curves on the road and have presented the system which will provide the intelligent speed...
Utilizing advanced technologies to guarantee safety protection for pedestrians at intersections has become an important issue because intersections are the places where pedestrians easily conflict with vehicles. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual design of an intersection bus-pedestrian collision warning system with appropriate detection and warning parameters for bus drivers approaching...
Increasingly powerful integrated circuits are making an entire range of new applications possible. Recent technological advances are enabling a new generation of smart cameras that represent a quantum leap in sophistication. While todaypsilas digital cameras capture images, smart camera capture high-level descriptions of the scene and analyze what they see. A smart camera combines video sensing, high-level...
