  • Numerical analysis of lumbar spine injury during road safety barrier collision

    Publication

    - Year 2022

    Purpose: Enhancing road safety is a critical goal worldwide, necessitating the development of clear standards for road safety systems. This study focuses on lumbar spine (L-spine) compression injuries during collisions with concrete road safety barriers (RSBs). It aims to analyze internal forces during impact to understand L-spine injury biomechanics in such accidents. Methods: The research included a literature review, analyzing...

  • Effect of the Road Environment on Road Safety in Poland

    Run-off-road accidents tend to be very severe because when a vehicle leaves the road, it will often crash into a solid obstacle (tree, pole, supports, front wall of a culvert, barrier). A statistical analysis of the data shows that Poland's main roadside hazard is trees and the severity of vehicles striking a tree in a run-off-road crash. The risks are particularly high in north-west Poland with many of the roads lined up with...

  • Road safety inspection as a tool for road safety management – the polish experience

    In 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...

  • The effect of trees in the road crown on road safety

    Publication

    - Year 2007

    W referacie przedstawiono problem występowania wypadków związanych z najechaniem na drzewo. Problem ten występuje w Polsce głównie w województwach północnych i zachodnich, co jest związane ze specyficznymi cechami sieci drogowej tego obszaru. Referat przedstawia negatywny wpływ drzew rosnących w koronie drogi na bezpieczeństwo ruchu drogowego oraz określa metody zapobiegania wypadkom związanym z najechaniem na drzewo. Ze względu...

  • TB11 test for short w-beam road barrier

    FEM (Finite Element Method) is well-suited and widely used tool for simulating a range of phenomena: from these with simple and static behaviour, up to those complicated, highly nonlinear and involving many contacts. In present paper we use one of the advantages of FEM: parametric study could be easily performed and is more economical than series of in-situ tests. If recommended practices is carefully followed, results obtained...

  • Road safety system in Poland

    Publication

    Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie kluczowych dla poprawy brd elementów diagnozy stanu i systemu bezpieczeństwa w Polsce, które jednocześnie mogłyby wejść w zakres działań objętych Projektem ZEUS. Ocenę diagnozy wykonano poprzez porównanie z wzorcami z tych krajów, które od lat uważa się za liderów w zakresie bezpieczeństwa.

  • ROAD SAFETY WITHIN THE "INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF TRANSPORT SAFETY"

    Publication

    The concept of the “Integrated System of Transport Safety” in Poland is a novel solution, built upon the best practices available from only a handful of countries in the world. In the last few decades, the extent of applying integrated transport safety systems to improve transport safety systems has varied; nevertheless, studying the experience of the safest countries in the world we can say that enormous progress has been achieved...

  • Proposed method for estimating the costs of safety barrier life cycle

    Today barrier types are frequently selected for their price with little regard for the total costs the structure will incur over its lifetime. One of the basic tools designed to manage road infrastructure is the life cycle cost method (LCC, Life cycle cost). It sums up the costs to plan, design, build, operate (use and maintain) and decommission a road structure. Having developed dynamically at the turn of the century the method...

  • Assessing the Effects of the Road Surface and Weather Conditions on Road Safety

    Publication

    - Journal of KONBiN - Year 2019

    When 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...
