Investigation of pre-crash vehicle speed

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The speed at which drivers travel has been shown to have a considerable effect on the number and severity of crashes. Previous studies have examined speed choice of drivers outside of a crash situation, and found speed is influenced by a number of factors and circumstances. The aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing speed choice for vehicles involved in a crash. For the analysis, data from the in-depth crash investigations conducted by CDV – Transport Research Centre from 2011 – 2017 was used. The investigation team documented all relevant information on traffic environment, vehicles and human factor, at the scene. The investigation included an individual interview by a psychologist with crash participants, focused on all relevant information related to causes (traffic situation, actual mental and physical condition of a participant, incidental circumstances, etc.) course (e.g. reactions) and crash consequences (injuries); including basic and sociodemographic information about the participant (sex, age, driving experience, etc.). Pre-crash speed was determined through Virtual crash reconstruction. For the analysis of statistically significant predictors of pre-crash speed, statistical modeling was used. The most statistically significant predictors correspond with the basic road characteristics (speed limit and road type) and roadside environment. The results of this study could be beneficial for the road safety improvement, especially in the field of traffic engineering. It could also provide interesting background for the driver education.
