Road safety Management2

We would like to know the experiences with Road SafetyManagement (RSM) in your country.

Therefore you are requested to answer the questions on each

slide and to present shortly the results to the next TIN-meeting in

Romania. The goals are to exchange experiences and to learn of

each other.

Please, take this filled-in Powerpoint file on a USB-stick with you.

Road safety management

- Three databases are needed:

Accidents

Traffic

Roads


5/20


Do you have central (digital) databases of all accidents, including casualties over more than 3 years?

It is a digital data base for all accidents including serious accidents and slight accidents from 1999.

The capacity of the data base is 500 000 accidents.

How h as this database been bui l t? Acc essib i l i ty?

This data base was built in 2004 in a PHARE program .

It is integrated data base which is use only for the use of profesional .

Main administrator is Traffic Police and four institution are responsible for the data which are deliver to the main administrator ;

Traffic Police Road traffic accidents

National Company for Motorway and National Roads Road network and traffic volume data;

Road Romanian Authority Transport Operators data `

Romanian Vehicle Register Vehicles Data

All the partners have accessibility to the data base, but are some limitation regarding the protection of the person identity;

Database accidents(1)


6/20


What data is included in the database? Which main characteristics? Data about accident: time, whether information, road number, kilometrical location,number of victims, name of village ,maneuvers,

Data about drivers: age, sex, driving experience, purpose of travel,driving hours

Data about vehicles: brand car, manufacture date, cplour, mileage, etc

What is the reliability of the data?

Reliability of the data is between 70-80%.

Is it possible to link the accidents at a (digital) road network?

It is possible to link the accidents at a (digital) road network.

Result are network maps with traffic accidents.

Are traffic volumes on all main state or national roads per year

available?

Are available only traffic census for 5 year period, only for

national for national road.

Is also the composition of traffic known? Which composition?

Inside the data base is not possible to see the traffic composition

Are forecasts of traffic volumes available?

Are not available forecast of traffic volumes inside the data

base.

How have the forecasts been calculated?

N/A

How has the (digital) database been built? Are these well

accessible?

The existing data base

Is it possible to link the traffic volumes to the (digital) road network?

Traffic volumes are link with the data base, and are confgure on

special maps.

Is a schematic, digital road network available? Which

characteristics?

NO.

Have the intersections and the road sections been subdividedin homogeneous types? Which characteristics?

No

Database road

Black spots (1)

- Definition: an intersection or a road section

with a high number of road accidents with or

without casualties.

- Goal: to find starting points by analyzing

accidents for improving the design or use of

the infrastructure based on similaritiesbetween the accidents.



11

Does your country apply Black Spot Management? Is it a part of road safety

policy?

What is the criterion / threshold: number of accidents or casualties per time

period?

Definition use:10 accidents with 10 casualties in the last 5 five years in a

road section of 1 km.

Is the criterion for road sections and intersections the same? Length of road

section?

Usually the criterion is the same,

Black spots (2)



12

How do you select black spots?Which method do you use?

Is a manual / method available to

analyze accidents systematically?

Black spots (3)



13

Detailed data about location and type of accidents is very

important. Is this information available? How?

Do you see obstructions (man-power, knowledge, budgets)to carry out Black Spot analysis and measures on large

scale.

The main obstruction are budgets, man-power and

institutional collaboration to apl

Black spots (3)


14/20


Does your country deal with high risk sites? Is it a part of roadsafety policy?

What is the criterion / threshold for a high risk site? Number of

accidents? Casualties? Time period? Intersection? Road

section?

High risk sites (2)


15/20


How do you select high risk sites? Method?

Do you have a manual / method to analyze the accidents

systematically?

Do you see obstructions to carry out analysis and measures

on large scale.

High risk sites (3)


16/20


Network safety management (1)

- Definition: Method to identify and rank

locations of the total state network in operation

according to the cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness ratio.

- Goal: to reduce accidents by targeting

remedial treatment to sections of the roadnetwork where accident cost reduction

potential is highest.


17/20


Is Network Safety Manage-ment (NSM) dealt with in yourcountry?

What ratio is used: accidents or casualties per million vehicle

kilometers or kilometers of road section?

How are homogeneous road sections compared with each

other?

Network Safety Management (2)


18/20


In which way are projects prioritized: cost-benefit or cost-

effectiveness? Or otherwise?

Is harmonization between design, function and intended use a part of

NSM? Is Road Safety Inspection a part of NSM (differences between desired

design and existing lay-out)?

Do you have any additional comments you want to give?

Any comments
