Koncepcja metody zagrożeń w ruchu drogowym
PublicationSieć drogowa w Polsce, pomimo przekształceń, ciągle jeszcze w wielu przypadkach nie odpowiada standardom bezpieczeństwa, jednocześnie brak tych standardów rzadko jest podawany, jako przyczyna wypadków drogowych. Brak standardów bezpieczeństwa wiąże się z występowaniem mankamentów na sieci dróg, które bezpośrednio zagrażają uczestnikom ruchu drogowego lub sprzyjają popełnianym przez tych uczestników błędom. Konieczne jest zatem...

Wpływ otoczenia dróg na poziom bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego
PublicationCelem artykułu było wskazanie głównych zagrożeń związanych z otoczeniem dróg i ich wpływie na poziom bezpieczeństwa. Najechania na drzewo, barierę, słup, znak czy wywrócenie się pojazdu na poboczu, na skarpie lub w rowie należą do skutków wypadków związanych z niebezpiecznym otoczeniem dróg. Szczególnie problem ten jest związany z drzewami rosnącymi blisko krawędzi jezdni. Od lat w Polsce północno – zachodniej rejestruje się szczególnie...

Otoczenie drogi źródłem zagrożeń dla uczestników ruchu drogowego
PublicationDrzewa bezpośrednio przy krawędzi jezdni, a za drzewami skarpy rowów odwadniających, uniemożliwiają poruszanie się niechronionych użytkowników dróg poboczem. Brak zdefiniowanej w polskich warunkach technicznych strefy bezpieczeństwa drogi powoduje duże konflikty z organizacjami ekologicznymi przy próbie usunięcia drzew z bezpośredniego otoczenia dróg. W związku z tym należy poszukiwać kompromisu pomiędzy bezpieczeństwem uczestników...

The effect of road restraint systems on the level of road safety - Polish experience
PublicationRoadside accidents happen when a vehicle runs off the road. The majority of these accidents are very severe because leaving the road is usually followed by hitting a solid obstacle (tree, pole, support, culvert front wall, barrier). Roadsides are some of the most important issues of road safety. They have been studied for years to identify roadside hazards and the effectiveness of road safety measures such as restraint systems....

The effects of selected factors on regional road fatalities – analysis of the Łódź region
PublicationAnalysis of regional accident records shows that a country’s national road safety programme does not have the same effect in each of its regions. What may be a serious problem in one region may be of marginal significance in another. Polish and international experience shows that main risk groups and types of accidents related to the level of development and quality of the road network differ from region to region. The conclusion...

The Effects of Roadside Hazards on Road Accident Severity
PublicationThe risk of becoming involved in an accident emerges when elements of the transport system do not operate properly (man – vehicle – road – roadside). The road, its traffic layout andsafety equipment have a critical impact on road user safety. This gives infrastructural work a priority in road safety strategies and programmes. Run-off-road accidents continue to be one of the biggest problems of road safety with consequences including...

Assessing the Effects of the Road Surface and Weather Conditions on Road Safety
PublicationWhen transport is analysed for its safe delivery the focus is mainly on assessing the safety of roads and the risk of undesired events. These include road accidents, an occurrence which is relatively rare and random. Randomness means that accidents depend on several factors which are partly deterministic (can be controlled) and partly stochastic (random and unpredictable). The set of crash contributing factors can be classified...

Influence of a Lighting Column in the Working Width of a W-Beam Barrier on TB51 Crash Test
PublicationRoad equipment, such as, e.g., road safety barriers and lighting columns, are subject to certification according to the EN1317 standard to be allowed for use on European roads. In engineering practice, due to the terrain conditions, there are cases where other road equipment is installed within the working width of road safety barriers. Such situations are not considered during the certification process. Hence, the aim of this...

Road safety inspection as a tool for road safety management – the polish experience
PublicationIn Poland, road inspections were implemented in June 2014 on all national roads. Previously conducted traffic surveys mainly related to the technical condition of roads, signs and markings; other safety issues were overlooked. The main problem that occurs during inspection is an inspector’s subjective qualitative assessment which affects the classification of the sources of hazard on the road.. The paper presents an analysis of...

Pedestrian Safety at Midblock Crossings on Dual Carriageway Roads in Polish Cities
PublicationRoad crossings across two or more lanes in one direction are particularly dangerous due to limited sight distance and high vehicle speeds. To improve their safety, road authorities should provide safety treatments. These may include additional measures to reduce speed and narrow the road cross-section and the introduction of active pedestrian crossings. Equipped with flashing lights activated automatically when a pedestrian is...

Measures of Functional Reliability of Two-Lane Highways
PublicationRural two-lane highways are the most common road type both in Poland and globally. In terms of kilometres, their length is by far greater than that of motorways and expressways. They are roads of one carriageway for each direction, which makes the overtaking of slower vehicles possible only when there is a gap in the stream of traffic moving from the opposite direction. Motorways and express roads are dual carriageways that are...

Injury Prediction Models for Onshore Road Network Development
PublicationIntegrating different modes of transport (road, rail, air and water) is important for port cities. To accommodate this need, new transport hubs must be built such as airports or sea ports. If ports are to grow, they must be accessible, a feature which is best achieved by building new roads, including fast roads. Poland must develop a network of fast roads that will provide good access to ports. What is equally important is to upgrade...
