Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung knüpft die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen an die letzte Untersuchung zum Unfallgeschehen von Wohnmobilen aus dem Jahr 1999 an. Neben der Entwicklung der Anzahl der Unfälle von Wohnmobilen im Zeitraum 2000 bis 2010 wird die Struktur der Unfälle beleuchtet. Auch die charakteristischen Merkmale der beteiligten Fahrer der Wohnmobile und einige technische Merkmale wie z.B. die Motorisierung und das zulässige Gesamtgewicht werden untersucht. Weiterhin wird die im Unfallgeschehen kleine Gruppe der Pkw mit Wohnanhänger soweit möglich in die Untersuchung einbezogen. Diese beiden Gruppen werden der Gesamtgruppe der Pkw-Unfälle vergleichend gegenübergestellt. Wohnmobile werden in der amtlichen Unfallstatistik nicht explizit codiert. Somit sind -im Rahmen der regelmäßigen Veröffentlichungen des Statistischen Bundesamtes -keine Informationen zum Unfallgeschehen von Wohnmobilen verfügbar. Dennoch ist es möglich, über die vom Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt ergänzten fahrzeugtechnischen Angaben zum Kraftfahrzeug, deutsche Wohnmobile zu identifizieren und mit der vollen Merkmalsbreite des amtlichen Datenmaterials auszuwerten. Mit einem Anteil von weniger als 0,3% an allen Unfällen mit Personenschaden stellen Unfälle unter Beteiligung von Wohnmobilen keinen Schwerpunkt im Unfallgeschehen dar. Im Jahr 2010 wurden 743 Unfälle mit Personenschaden registriert, an denen ein Wohnmobil beteiligt war. Die Entwicklung der Unfallbeteiligung stellt sich im Zeitraum 2000 bis 2010 mit einem Rückgang von 36% bei den Unfällen mit Personenschaden sogar günstiger dar, als die Entwicklung der Unfälle unter Pkw-Beteiligung (-28%). Bei Unfällen unter Beteiligung von Wohnmobilen wurden im Jahr 2010 insgesamt 19 Personen getötet und 202 Personen schwer verletzt. Darunter waren jedoch nur 4 getötete und 62 schwerverletzte Personen Insassen eines Wohnmobils; die übrigen Verunglückten wurden beim Unfallgegner registriert. Gleichwohl zeigt die nach Fahrern und Mitfahrern differenzierte Betrachtung der Unfallschwere bei den Wohnmobilen Ansatzpunkte zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit. Im Mittel des Zeitraumes 2000 bis 2010 weisen die Mitfahrer von Wohnmobilen eine deutlich erhöhte Unfallschwere im Vergleich zu den Fahrern auf. So liegt die Kenngrösse \"Schwere Personenschäden bezogen auf die Fahrer bzw. Mitfahrer\" bei den Mitfahrern bei 51 schweren Personenschäden je 1.000 Mitfahrer und bei den Fahrern bei 34 schweren Personenschäden je 1.000 Fahrer.
Police records about traffic accidents like used by IRTAD (International Road Traffic and Accident Database) and CARE (Community Road Accident Database) do not represent all road injuries. For instance, road accidents of bicyclists without a counterpart are usually not reported. Furthermore, IRTAD-like data contains hardly any information on injury outcome and accident circumstances. This information gap leads to an under-representation of the safety concerns of the most vulnerable road users like children and the elderly both in accident research and safety promotion. Injury registration for the European Injury Database (IDB), in turn, combines details of accident causation with diagnostic information that can be used to assess injury severity and long term consequences. The IDB is collecting data from hospital emergency department patients and is being implemented in a growing number of countries. In this article IDB results on mode of transport and injury outcome are presented from a sample of nine EU member states.
Rear-end collisions are the most frequent same and opposite-direction crashes. Common causes include momentary inattention, inadequate speed or inadequate distance. While most rear-end collisions in urban traffic only result in vehicle damage or slight injuries, rear-end collisions outside built-up areas or on motorways usually cause fatal or serious injuries. Driver assistance systems that detect dangerous situations in the longitudinal vehicle direction are therefore an essential safety plus. In view of this, for ADAC, systems that alert drivers to dangerous situations and initiate autonomous braking complement ESC as one of the most important active safety features in modern vehicles. The aim of ADAC is to provide consumers with technical advice and competent information about the systems available on the market. Reliable comparative tests that are based on standardised test criteria may provide motorists with important information and help them make a buying decision. In addition, they raise consumer awareness of the systems and speed up their market penetration. The assessment must focus on as many aspects of effectiveness as possible and include not only autonomous braking but also collision warning and autonomous brake assist. The work of the ADAC accident research is the development of the testing scenarios with direct link to accident situations and the identification of useful test criteria for testing.
Zwischen 2000 und 2011 hat die Zahl der bei Unfällen mit Personenschäden Beteiligten unter Alkoholeinfluss um 42 % abgenommen. Im gleichen Umfang (42 %) hat sich auch die Anzahl der Alkoholunfälle mit Personenschaden reduziert. Nach wie vor tritt bei Pkw-Fahrern Alkohol als Unfallursache am häufigsten in der Altersgruppe der 21- bis 24-jährigen Männer auf, mit Abstand gefolgt von den Gruppen der männlichen 18- bis 20-jährigen Fahrer und der 25- bis 34-Jährigen. Die Anzahl der an Unfällen mit Personenschaden beteiligten männlichen Pkw-Fahrer fällt gut 6-mal so hoch aus wie die der weiblichen. Alkoholunfälle mit Personenschaden ereignen sich am häufigsten in den Abend- und frühen Morgenstunden und insbesondere in den Wochenendnächten. Unter den Verursachern dieser nächtlichen Freizeitunfälle sind junge Erwachsenen überproportional vertreten. Die Gefährdung der Verkehrssicherheit durch drogenbeeinflusste Kraftfahrer hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Daher wurden Ausbildungsmaßnahmen für die Polizei zur besseren Erkennung einer Drogenwirkung bei Kraftfahrern eingeführt. In den Jahren 1998 und 1999 traten darüber hinaus verschiedene gesetzliche Neuregelungen in Kraft. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist die Dokumentation der Unfallursache "andere berauschende Mittel" deutlich angestiegen, liegt aber immer noch um ein Vielfaches niedriger als die Unfallursache Alkohol.
Since 2008, the authors inspected fatal traffic accidents on the spot every year, with the cooperation of Toyota police station in Aichi pref. In the jurisdiction, numbers of fatal accidents were 18 in 2008, 12 in 2009, 14 accidents in 2010, and 16 in 2011. We here report the results of our analysis of information obtained by detailed inspection for those that occurred from 2008 to 2010. We focused on vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents, which accounted for about 45% of all accidents in 2008. Because many accidents occurred on residential roads not far from pedestrians" homes, it was revealed that the decrease of the collision speed by traffic calming such as humps and zone speed management, was highly effective. On the other hand, pedestrian detection technologies seemed to be also effective as a countermeasure on vehicle side. Every pedestrian position against a vehicle was clarified and TTC (Time to Collision) was calculated provisionally. Pedestrian accidents in intersections were also examined. Among the intersection pedestrian accidents within the jurisdiction, compared with the national average in Japan, the ratio of intersections without a signal and the ratio without a pedestrian crossing were high. According to the comparison of the Japanese traffic accident patterns between 2001 and 2008, pedestrian accidents during turning right and turning left did not decrease much. For elderly drivers, these accidents occurred very often. Finally, single vehicle accidents were analysed with the accident pattern analysis methods used above. There were high numbers of single vehicle accidents against object on single roads. Although fatal accidents against guardrails decreased, the numbers of fatal accidents against a utility pole and a sign pole were nearly constant. As for the impact with narrow width objects such as utility poles, the fatality rate was very high, and countermeasures of both road infrastructure and vehicles seem to be effective.
Introduction: Spine injuries pose a considerable risk to life and quality of life. The total number of road deaths in developed countries has markedly decreased, e.g. in Germany from over 20000 in 1970 to less than 4000 in 2010, but little is known how this is reflected in the burden of spine fractures of motor vehicle users. In this study, we aimed to show the actual incidence of spine injuries among drivers and front passengers and elucidate possible dependencies between crash mechanisms and types of injuries.
With an ever rising human life expectancy the share of elderly people in society is constantly rising. This leads to the fact that at the same rate the share of people with age related diseases such as dementia and poor eyesight taking part in traffic will rise and therefore traffic accidents caused by this group of people due to the disease will play an ever greater role. This Situation will be among the future challenges of road safety work. At present this study displays specific characteristics of accidents caused by elderly car drivers (aged 65 or higher) based on the analysis of the German In-Depth Accident Study GIDAS. Herein almost 1000 elderly car drivers were identified as accident participants in the years 2008 to 2011. The focus of this study lies on identifying special types of accidents which are caused by elderly drivers and on characterizing these types with the information gathered on scene and by interviewing the participants. The main evidence analyzed is the knowledge about the accident locality, the trajectories of the participants as well as the reasons for the occurrence of the accidents. Furthermore personal information such as the personal condition before the accident and driving purposes is used to identify patterns of contributing circumstances for accidents caused by elderly traffic participants.
Der zweite Kinderunfallatlas der Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen beschreibt die Unfallbelastung der bei Straßenverkehrsunfällen verunglückten Kinder für alle Kreise, Städte und Gemeinden in Deutschland. Für die Jahre 2006 bis 2010 wird die regionale Verteilung der Kinderverkehrsunfälle analysiert; darüber hinaus werden die Daten mit denen der Jahre 2001 bis 2005 in Beziehung gesetzt. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Verkehrssicherheitssituation von Kindern vor Ort mit der in anderen Kreisen und Gemeinden gleicher Größe zu vergleichen und somit einen Hinweis darüber zu erhalten, ob und wie sich die Unfallbelastung vor Ort von anderen unterscheidet.
Supervision of the safety performance in public transport is one of the main tasks of the Federal Office of Transport (FOT) in Switzerland. Recently a three level system of safety indicators has been defined to cover all means of Swiss public transport. The safety indicators are fed by the FOT incident database since the year 2000. In cooperation with the Institute for Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering (iVA) at TU Braunschweig, Germany, FOT is developing a suitable methodology for the definition and evaluation of the safety targets in Swiss public transport. The methodology is applied for evaluation of safety indicators on a country level and for single transport companies. In a new approach the abovementioned methodology is applied to car incident data to develop an indicator based cross-modal safety measure.
There is a need to continue to set the right vehicle safety policy priorities in the future. Research has to point out the most cost efficient and safety relevant measures to further reduce the number of road traffic casualties. The overall development shows that the constant and rapid decrease in the number of road casualties slows down. New innovations need to enter the vehicle market soon, in order to continue the success achieved in the last decade. Priorities for vehicle safety are driven by safety and mobility demands. It is necessary to keep a strong lid on all aspects of elderly and vulnerable road users. The fraction of powered-two-wheelers (PTW) is a priority group. PTWs have a risk of being involved in an accident, 14times higher than that of a passenger car. However, the figures do also show that every second fatality is a car occupant. Therefore passenger car safety remains to be top priority. Heavy goods vehicles are overly represented in fatal accidents, addressing the need to make these vehicles more compatible with other road users. These facts highlight the necessity not only to increase vehicles" self protection, but also to make cars - and trucks - more compatible and safe. Cycling is a strongly increasing mode of transport. This is a further reason to demand better protection for cyclists and pedestrians from car design and car active and integrated safety systems. Another priority for future vehicle safety is related to demographics. It is less known that the purely demographic effect will be superimposed by an increasing wish of elderly people to be mobile. However, elderly people show deficits concerning their biomechanics. This emphasizes the need for better and more adaptive restraint systems, but also further technological challenges and demands for active safety systems. However, in order to progress, current technological limitations have to be overcome. Cost benefit considerations, but also consumer acceptance and desires, will drive this process.
