DEMONSTRATION OF THE EFFECTS OF HARMONIZED SPEED ON EFFICIENCY AND TRAFFIC SAFETY - A TRAFFIC SIMULATION STUDY OF TRAFFIC INTERACTION EFFECTS. REPORT SUMMARY

Different drivers choose their speeds along a road with regard to a number of factors. Among these, speed limits and the speed as indicated by the speedometer are naturally of great importance. In the PRO-NET project (which is part of the main Prometheus project) the VTI has performed computer simulations aimed at studying the possibilities of achieving both higher traffic efficiency (trafficability) and better traffic safety.
