Im Mittelpunkt der Überlegungen zu Perspektiven einer zeitgemäßen und sicherheitswirksamen Fahranfängervorbereitung steht die Absenkung des weiterhin hohen Anfangsrisikos bei Fahranfängern. Ausgehend von den positiven Erfahrungen mit dem Begleiteten Fahren ab 17 beauftragte das Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung (BMVBS) die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) mit der Erarbeitung eines Rahmenkonzepts, in dem Entwicklungsperspektiven für weitere Verbesserungen der Vorbereitung von Fahranfängern und wissenschaftlich begründete Maßnahmenvorschläge für die Erhöhung der Fahranfängersicherheit formuliert werden. Zunächst werden die Aufgaben und die Vorgehensweise der Rahmenkonzepterarbeitung sowie die Kriterien für die Ableitung von Maßnahmenprioritäten skizziert. Ausgehend von den Erkenntnissen zur Entwicklung des Unfallrisikos im Verlauf der Fahrkarriere werden im Anschluss die maßgeblichen Ansatzpunkte zur verbesserten Gestaltung eines sicheren Übergangs in die Automobilität aufgezeigt. Zentrale Maßnahmenvorschläge des Rahmenkonzepts werden vorgestellt. Diese beziehen sich auf die Bekämpfung der maßgeblichen Ursachen des erhöhten Fahranfängerrisikos (Fahrerfahrungsdefizit und Einstellungsmängel), die Optimierung bestehender Fahranfängermaßnahmen und die verstärkte Erschließung von Technik und Wissenschaft für das Fahren lernen.
To improve vehicle safety in frontal collisions, the crash compatibility between the colliding vehicles is crucial. Compatibility aims to improve both the self and partner protection properties of vehicles. Although compatibility has received worldwide attention for many years, no final assessment approach has been defined. Within the Frontal Impact and Compatibility Assessment Research (FIMCAR) project, different frontal impact test procedures (offset deformable barrier [ODB] test as currently used for Economic Commission for Europe [ECE] R94, progressive deformable barrier test as proposed by France for a new ECE regulation, moveable deformable barrier test as discussed worldwide, full-width rigid barrier test as used in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard [FMVSS] 208, and full-width deformable barrier test) were analyzed regarding their potential for future frontal impact legislation. The research activities focused on car-to-car frontal impact accidents based on accident investigations involving newer cars. Test procedures were developed with both a crash test program and numerical simulations. The proposal from FIMCAR is to use a full-width test procedure with a deformable element and compatibility metrics in combination with the current offset test as a frontal impact assessment approach that also addresses compatibility. By adding a full-width test to the current ODB test it is possible to better address the issues of structural misalignment and injuries resulting from high acceleration accidents as observed in the current fleet. The estimated benefit ranges from a 5 to 12 percent reduction of fatalities and serious injuries resulting from frontal impact accidents. By using a deformable element in the full-width test, the test conditions are more representative of real-world situations with respect to acceleration pulse, restraint system triggering time, and deformation pattern of the front structure. The test results are therefore expected to better represent real-world performance of the tested car. Furthermore, the assessment of the structural alignment is more robust than in the rigid wall test.
Enhanced protection of pedestrians and cyclists remains on the focus. Besides infrastructural and behavioral aspects it is necessary to exploit technical solutions placed on motorized vehicles. Accident research needs reliable data as well as national road accident statistics. Changing the view on seriously injured road users is one of the challenges which will substantially contribute to the optimization on future traffic safety. The missing accuracy in the definition of personal injury has a detrimental effect on making cost efficient road safety policy which is not only focused on fatal accidents. The European commission requested that, starting in 2015, all EU member states provide more detailed data on the injury status of road casualties, with special regard to the group of seriously injured. Conventional accident data will always be essential. But to obtain detailed data about driver behavior in real traffic situations further data sources are required. These could be EDR data, data from electronic control units, data from traffic surveys and traffic counting, naturalistic diving studies and field operational tests. Gaining insight into normal as well as critical driver behavior will enable accident researchers to deduct functions estimating the increase or decrease of accident risk associated with certain behaviors or vehicle functions. Also with view to the introduction of highly automated driving functions in the future such data is urgently needed. Computer simulation based tools to estimate the benefits of active safety systems are another step on the way towards the safety assessment of automated driving. It is now the duty of the scientific community to ask the right questions, to develop a methodology and to merge all these data sources into a common framework for the assessment of future traffic safety innovations.
Although the annual traffic accident statistics published by the national police is available in public, the detailed traffic accident data has not been released in Korea. Recently the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recognized the importance of in-depth accident data to enhance road traffic safety and initiated a research project to establish a collection of the detailed accident data. The main objective of the project is a feasibility study to establish KIDAS (Korea In-Depth Accident Study). Within this project, three university hospitals which are located in mid-size cities have been selected to collect accident data. Annually, more than 500 cases of accidents have been collected from the in-patient's interviews and diagnosis. Unlike GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study), currently on-site investigation can"t be performed by the Korean police. The only available data is patient medical records, patient's description of accident circumstances and the damaged vehicle. Occasionally the police provide the accident investigation reports containing very brief information on accident causation and vehicle safety. In a first step, the concept of KIDAS is to adopt the format of iGLAD (Initiative for the Global Harmonization of Accident Data) for harmonization. Since the currently collected accident information is extremely limited compared with GIDAS, the other sources of data and calculations such as KNCAP vehicle data, pc-crash simulations, vehicle registration information, insurance company data are utilized to complete the iGLAD template. Results from KIDAS_iGLAD and the cases of assessment of active safety devices such as AEBS, ESC, and LDWS will be evaluated.
SEEKING is looking for answers regarding electric powered bicycles and their relation to traffic safety issues. Does a cyclist need "E"? Is it as risky as riding a moped or are E-bikes creating conflicts with other cyclists? The project described herein, funded by the Austrian Ministry of Transport, has the aim of seeking answers to these hot topics. The SEEKING-team shows an in-depth investigation of vehicle dynamic sensing, together with subjective feedback of test riders to detect similarities and differences between conventional cycling and E-biking. Following an overview on the international status quo, measurement runs and their analyses are performed to find a set of preventative measures to make (E-)biking safer. A specific focus is the detection of curve handling, stopping and acceleration phases as well as conflict studies on course-based test rides and "real world" tests on cycling paths (naturalistic riding).
It is commonly agreed that active safety will have a significant impact on reducing accident figures for pedestrians and probably also bicyclists. However, chances and limitations for active safety systems have only been derived based on accident data and the current state of the art, based on proprietary simulation models. The objective of this article is to investigate these chances and limitations by developing an open simulation model. This article introduces a simulation model, incorporating accident kinematics, driving dynamics, driver reaction times, pedestrian dynamics, performance parameters of different autonomous emergency braking (AEB) generations, as well as legal and logical limitations. The level of detail for available pedestrian accident data is limited. Relevant variables, especially timing of the pedestrian appearance and the pedestrian's moving speed, are estimated using assumptions. The model in this article uses the fact that a pedestrian and a vehicle in an accident must have been in the same spot at the same time and defines the impact position as a relevant accident parameter, which is usually available from accident data. The calculations done within the model identify the possible timing available for braking by an AEB system as well as the possible speed reduction for different accident scenarios as well as for different system configurations. The simulation model identifies the lateral impact position of the pedestrian as a significant parameter for system performance, and the system layout is designed to brake when the accident becomes unavoidable by the vehicle driver. Scenarios with a pedestrian running from behind an obstruction are the most demanding scenarios and will very likely never be avoidable for all vehicle speeds due to physical limits. Scenarios with an unobstructed person walking will very likely be treatable for a wide speed range for next generation AEB systems.
Um die Sicherheit der Straßentunnel zu gewährleisten, werden mehr als 400 m lange Tunnel ständig durch eine Tunnelleitzentrale überwacht. Die dort eingehende Flut von Einzelinformationen, wie Kamerabilder und zahlreiche Sensordaten, muss permanent durch das Personal erfasst und beurteilt werden. Das Projekt ESIMAS (Echtzeit-Sicherheits-Management-System für Straßentunnel) wird neue Wege aufzeigen, um die Leitstellenmitarbeiter zu unterstützen. Auf Grundlage der Datenanalyse und -bewertung von ESIMAS können zukünftig sicherheitsrelevante Ereignisse, wie ein Brand im Tunnel, zuverlässig und rechtzeitig erkannt werden. Im Ernstfall soll ESIMAS dem Leitzentralenpersonal sowie den Einsatz- und Rettungsdiensten Handlungsempfehlungen zur Ereignisbewältigung zur Verfügung stellen. Auf Basis dieser Handlungsempfehlungen können Maßnahmen schnellstmöglich und gezielt durchgeführt werden. Der innovative Ansatz von ESIMAS besteht in der ganzheitlichen Betrachtung aller Einzelinformationen und ihrer automatischen Auswertung und Bewertung. Hierdurch ist eine schnellere Reaktion der Leitstelle zum Schutz der Verkehrsteilnehmer möglich.
In the project SECMAN " SECurity MANual " a simple four-step procedure for the identification of critical road infrastructures, assessment of these infrastructures regarding various man-made threats and the determination of effective protection measures was developed. These methodologies are summarized and combined into a comprehensive best-practice manual which allows for a trans-national structured and holistic security-risk-management approach for owners and operators of road infrastructures in Europe. This paper presents the developed methodology starting from the assessment procedures of a network's criticality over an object's attractiveness and vulnerability to the selection process of appropriate protection measures.
The paper describes the development of transitions between different safety barriers in Germany but also in the context of the European standardization. In the paper practical and impact test expriences with transitions are shown. In view of the sheer number of theoretically possible combinations of safety barriers, the demand for testing every transition, even if the connecting safety barriers differ only slightly, appears to be economically unacceptable. On the other hand the experience from accidents and also from failed impact tests shows that transitions can be a risk to traffic safety. Therefore criteria for the distinction between transitions (impact test required/impact test unnecessary) are explained. In order to distinguish transitions which do not have to be impact-tested from those that require impact tests, criteria were developed and formulated.
Aufgabe des Forschungsvorhabens war es, mit Hilfe empirischer Untersuchungen (Unfallanalysen, Verhaltensbeobachtungen) und mit Modellrechnungen zur Leistungsfähigkeit aufzuzeigen, wie bestimmte Arten der Führung und Behandlung geradeausfahrender Radfahrer an Knotenpunkten im Verlauf städtischer Hauptverkehrsstraßen einzuschätzen sind. Die untersuchten Fragestellungen betreffen - die Markierung beziehungsweise Aufpflasterung von Radwegen an Einmündungen von Erschließungsstraßen mit Wartepflicht, - das Maß der Absetzung von Radfahrerfurten vom Rand der übergeordneten Straße an Knotenpunkten ohne beziehungsweise mit Lichtsignalanlage, - die Führung geradeausfahrender Radfahrer an freien Rechtsabbiegerfahrbahnen mit Dreiecksinseln und - die Führung der Radfahrer an großen Kreisverkehrsplätzen. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen werden Empfehlungen zur Radverkehrsführung an Knotenpunkten abgeleitet, die auf einer Abwägung zwischen verschiedenen Zielfeldern und Nutzungsansprüchen beruhen (Verkehrssicherheit, Verkehrsqualität für Kraftfahrzeug- und Radverkehr, Leistungsfähigkeit, stadtgestalterische Aspekte).
