Driving speed is an important risk factor, especially when negotiating horizontal curves. Therefore it may be useful in extracting surrogate measures to proactively safety assessment, a practice consistent with a current shift towards a Safe System approach to addressing road trauma. Review of previous literature indicated two categories of studies: (1) studies focusing on a safe driving perspective, i.e. studies primarily interested in finding the cut-off point in FCD data characteristics between safe and unsafe driving; (2) studies focusing on relating meaningful risk rates (percentages of exceeding the risk thresholds) to specific locations, and thus identify safety critical sites. However, no study was found that specifically focused on the relationship between kinematic characteristics (other than just speed) and road curves. The presented study focused on exploring the relationship between acceleration and jerk thresholds and crashes occurring on road curves. The first objective was to determine meaningful acceleration and jerk thresholds to utilize in explaining safety performance when negotiating curves. For this purpose floating car data (FCD) from a fleet of company vehicles, driving in rural sections of national roads in the Czech Republic, was collected and used to derive and validate potential surrogate safety measures. FCD presents in-vehicle information with several benefits compared to traditional techniques, such as feasibility of data collection, relatively unlimited spatial coverage, and availability of historical data. In the analysis, lateral acceleration and longitudinal jerk were found to be the most influential measures of curve safety performance. To sum up, the exploratory study outlined a practical approach to proactive evaluation of road curve safety: FCD data can generate useful surrogate measures of curve safety (acceleration and jerks) associated with crash history. A larger study is required to strengthen robustness of the results and provide confidence necessary for practical application. Potential use cases may include conducting interim evaluations of curve road safety treatments, or in-vehicle monitoring devices for detection of potentially unsafe manoeuvers and providing real-time feedback to drivers based on a combination of identified safety thresholds.

W analizach bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego coraz większą rolę odgrywają pośrednie miary bezpieczeństwa, w tym prędkość pojazdów. W nawiązaniu do tego trendu badań autorzy przedstawili koncepcję modelu pośredniego szacowania prawdopodobieństwa wypadków najechania na pieszego w obrębie wyznaczonych przejść. Wykorzystując dane o prędkości pojazdów z pomiarów empirycznych na terenach zurbanizowanych, porównano potencjalne zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa pieszych na przejściach o różnych lokalizacjach i rozwiązaniach geometrycznych. W porównaniach tych oceniano możliwości zatrzymania się pojazdu przed pieszym w przypadkach jego wtargnięcia na przejście.

In road safety analyses, surrogate safety measures, including speed of vehicles, play an increasingly important role. In relation to this trend, the authors presented the concept of model for indirectly estimation probability of accidents, hitting in pedestrian, at marked pedestrian crossing. Potential hazards at pedestrian crossings for various locations and geometric designing based on empirical research speed of vehicles in urban areas were compared. The possibility of stopping vehicles in front of pedestrians, in case of their intrusion at pedestrian crossing, were evaluated.
