Phase 5 of the evaluation of the speed camera program in Victoria builds on the localised effects of the program studied in Phase 3, which found casualty crash reductions in areas within lkm of a speed camera site during high alcohol hours for up to 2 weeks after issue of a speed camera Traffic Infringement Notice (TIN). Phase 5 had 2 main aims; (1) To investigate the localised effects of the s...

The presence of cyclists on Spanish two-lane rural roads is common, so they have to interact with motor vehicles. Due the speed differential and vulnerability cyclists, overtaking one most dangerous frequent interactions. Therefore, a minimum distance 1.5 m must be observed. manoeuvre depends road section cyclist group distribution. Interaction between vehicles has been characterized in past bu...

Purpose The main purpose was to integrate two strategies for road safety analyses (qualitative: audits, inspections; and quantitative: accident predictions) and develop a possible protocol for the safety interventions on existing two-lane rural road segments. Those road sections do not typically belong to the TEN-network, to which the 2008/96/EC Directive is mainly oriented. Hence, they could l...

Automatic extraction of roads is a present research topic. Many applications like topographic mapping, navigation applications, or image registration could profit from such algorithms. This paper is concerned with automatic road extraction from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. An approach originally developed for the extraction of roads in rural areas from optical imagery with a ground p...

This study describes the Impact of rural maintenance programme on rural markets in Bangladesh. Rural Maintenance programme (RMP) is a year-round programme for maintenance ol 16 miles earthen roads In each selected union. The programme is run by crews consisting of 15 destitute women.
