From reactive to proactive: Czech examples of development and application of alternative road safety assessment approaches
Original language description
(Proceedings of 7th Transport Research Arena TRA 2018, April 16-19, 2018, Vienna, Austria) Traditionally, road safety assessment has been based on accident history. However, this approach may be biased, since accident occurrence is statistically rare and partly random. In this regards, various alternatives have been sought worldwide. The paper presents two examples of development and practical application of alternative road safety assessment approaches in the Czech Republic. The first example describes accident prediction models, which were developed firstly for secondary roads in several regions and secondly for core road network (motorways and national roads), and used for identification of hazardous road locations. The second example describes a different proactive technique, using speed consistency in order to identify hazardous curves. The wider use of these approaches will enable shifting from traditional reactive accident-based approach to proactive alternatives, which will improve quality and efficiency of Czech road network safety management.
