The safety of river-crossing tunnels is an important aspect of urban road traffic systems. Previous studies concerning traffic safety mainly focused on urban roads. Given the absence of a number of variables, such as speed and real-time traffic volume, in traffic accident databases, the traffic safety of urban river-crossing tunnels has rarely been studied. This study used the microscopic traff...

Currently, vehicles use safety systems like airbags or seat belts to increase the traffic safety of passengers during traffic accidents. In the near future, most new vehicles will be equipped with other type of traffic safety applications, which could prevent vehicles from e.g., traffic accident crashing. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of these future traffic safety applica...

The scope of this article is focused on the problematic of traffic safety, dealing with the problem of car intersections with blocked view crossing. A special wireless sensor network (WSN) for car detection taking advantage of ultra-low-power TI products, microcontroller MSP430F2232, 868MHz RF transceiver CC1101 and LDO voltage regulator TPS7033, was developed due to this reason. The WSN consis...

Researches using existing statistics and data collected from the area of study help officials at decision-making, to improve the region's problems, like the problem of the high rate of accidents in the region, despite the low volume of daily service. The uses of roundabouts in many parts of the world have many advantages over intersections, amongst them are increased safety and capacity and red...
