ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY IN SLOVENIA

VARNOST CESTENGA PROMETA V SR SLOVENIJI

The first part of this thesis represents a brief historical survey of roads in Slovenia, traffic links with neighbouring countries, traffic development and use of the road network. In the second part, a survey of traffic accidents between 1967 and 1980 is presented together with the relation between the number of inhabitants and the number of vehicles. Data on accidents and damages are compared with those of other countries. Regression analysis is used to show trends in accidents depending on the level of vehicle ownership, mileage, number of vehicles and predicted level of motorization up to the year 2000. The third part gives data on accidents on main road and motorways between 1976 and 1978. Data on traffic, accidents, damages and traffic safety indicators (density of accidents, level of accidents and damages) are given according to road sections. The accident density is 1.75 accidents per kilometre. The fourth part lists accident black spots and their position in the network. Part 5 defines the level of accidents and damages depending on road variables (pavement width, radius of curvature, longitudional gradient, kerb width), average annual daily traffic and percentage of freight vehicles. Cost-benefit analyses are used to plan measures for road network improvement. Examples of measures planned for 1985 are given. (TRRL)
