Control for Traffic Safety-Safety of Traffic Control
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003Abstract Starting from a probabilistic safety concept and from traffic safety statistics, a systematic analysis of the control engineering functions is made, which have to be safeguarded for safe transport systems. These functions are then structured with respect to a number of different aspects.

Traffic rules and traffic safety
Safety Science, 1998Abstract In the present paper the effects of traffic rules on driver behaviour and on traffic safety are discussed. The discussion is mainly based on research conerning driver’s use of safety equipment, their speed adjustment and drunken driving with respect to safety potential, effects of the rules, and effects of enforcement on driver behaviour ...

Traffic Safety Culture: A Primer for Traffic Safety Practitioners
2019There is growing interest in “traffic safety culture” (TSC) as a key factor to manage and sustain safe roadway transportation systems, especially as more jurisdictions adopt targets of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. However, the theory, terminology, and methods involved in addressing TSC come from human and social science disciplines ...

Macroscopic models for traffic and traffic safety
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1989This paper describes models for traffic volumes and traffic safety. These models have a very simple mathematical form and consist of time parameters only. The first model assumes that fatality rates follow a negative exponential function. The second model assumes a logistic type of saturation model for traffic volumes. The models are applied to traffic

Contemporary Sociology, 1995
Peter Rothe's absorbing volume ex-amines one of the most important areas of modern life, the culture of the automobile. Rothe takes a problem central to everyday life--auto safety-- and reconstructs it into a means of revealing the human condition.

Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety
British Journal of Addiction, 1987SummaryThis paper reviews existing empirical evidence on the possible influence of a wide range of psychotropic substances on driving ability. Substances which are considered include alcohol; antidepressants; sedatives and hypnotics; stimulants; opiates; cannabis; anaesthetics. Data are much richer in some of these areas than others. Different research

Motorcycle helmets and traffic safety
Journal of Health Economics, 2009Between 1997 and 2005, the number of annual motorcyclist fatalities doubled. Motorcyclist fatalities now account for over 10 percent of all traffic-related fatalities. However, over the last three decades, states have generally been eliminating laws that require helmet use among all motorcyclists. This study examines the effectiveness of helmet use and

The concept of Transportation System Management (TSM) is based on the use of transportation facilities for the efficient and safe movement of people and goods. Through a grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government contracted with the University of Kentucky (UK) to develop and implement a ...
