PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study is to present an outline and the principles of Poland's road safety strategic programming as it has developed over the last 25 years since the first Integrated Road Safety System with a strong focus on Sweden's "Vision Zero". RECENT FINDINGS Countries that have successfully improved road safety have done so by following strategies centred around the ide...

Despite a trend towards increased road safety, fatal and/or serious accidents induce a significant toll each year. We work towards improved road safety through the development of an intelligent driver assistance system that monitors the driver’s performance and assists with vehicle guidance. This complex task is decomposed into subsystems including lane-keeping, obstacle avoidance, sign detecti...

Traffic supervision usually means the traffic work of police. Most people agree that traffic supervision is very important in preventing traffic accidents. Police activity, as it relates to highway safety, is a primary consideration in this paper. Perhaps traffic supervision may best be described as the elastic or flexible element in traffic safety programs— the work that fills in the gaps and ...

Safety of any particular Road way facility cannot be attributed to set of parameters specific to a certain domain. Unsignalized intersections are no exceptions, thus, making them an important area of study. This paper presents the results of the analysis of four parameters, namely road width, traffic control, lane marking and landuse; and their sub-class on the safety of unsignalized intersecti...

With the increasing need for road lane detection used in lane departure warning systems and autonomous vehicles, many studies have been conducted to turn road lane detection into a virtual assistant to improve driving safety and reduce car accidents. Most of the previous research approaches detect the central line of a road lane and not the accurate left and right boundaries of the lane. In add...

The economic appraisal of road safety measures poses the basic problem of determining which method to use for the valuation of road safety measures. Given that road safety or, to be more precise, lack of road safety is measured in terms of the total number of fatalities and injuries, either slight or severe, the economic calculation can be based on the value of human life and the estimated cost...
