Abstract

Traffic accidents are commonly analyzed considering three main factors: driver’s behavior, car’s conditions, and the roads conditions. An exploration of the relations among business productivity and traffic accidents is made, considering also the influence of traffic authorities. A simulation model based on System dynamics was developed to explore the specific relations among the behavior of drivers and the working pressure of their jobs, and the traffic controls made by government authorities. The analysis considers that an improvement in productivity and a fewer, but more intense traffic controls, is a valid strategy to reduce accidents in roads. The model is a useful tool that can be applied in the design of public policies for road safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In spite of the criticism received over recent years, frequently without any technical foundation, suburban roundabouts have, in the opinion of the author of this article, resolved numerous traffic problems and have become incorporated within the regional road network and improved road safety. Suburban roundabouts continue to be a good solution to the problems encountered at the meeting points between regional roads, when taking the road to be a means and not an end that only considers transport as its reason for being.

3. Propuesta de un nuevo modelo para la determinación de los niveles de servicio en autopistas para la gestión dinámica del tráfico.

Abstract

The application of new technologies to traffic engineering has allowed the development of Intelligent Transport Systems. ITS improve traffic management and increase road safety optimizing the use of the existing road infrastructure. ITS systems make easy traffic dynamic management. One of most used parameters in traffic management is the Level of Service. Currently, Level of Service are based on the Highways Capacity Manual from Transportation Research Board. However, the proposed model is completely static. Thus, this model is considered suitable for the dimensioning of future road network, but not for dynamic traffic management. This paper presents a new model for the identification of level of service in highways that allows a dynamic traffic management in real time. This model is based on the fundamental relation between speed and occupancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
