Abstract

This research proposes a methodology to identify critical sections of highways where the location of speeding control may be beneficial. The method relies on a spatial and statistical analysis of infrastructure risks, along with traffic accident frequency and severity. A relevant feature of this methodology is related to its potential to be used in areas where there are no detailed historical records about traffic crashes, which is common in Global South countries. We applied the methodology to a rural road network in Colombia, where a recent law established that technical criteria should support the location of speed cameras. The case study uses accident information from six years, and risk data from a road safety audit carried out in the area under study. Even though historical records of accidents in the area were not fully available, the methodology allowed prioritising speed camera installations in the zone and identifying the relevant variables to define camera location. The relevant variables were the geometric characteristics of the road, traffic flows, risk factors, and proximity to populated centres. The use of speed controls should be part of a road safety management system, which allows defining camera location according to robust technical criteria.

高速公路上速度控制摄像头的位置:地理空间分析
本研究提出了一种方法来确定高速公路的关键路段,其中超速控制的位置可能是有益的。该方法依赖于对基础设施风险的空间和统计分析,以及交通事故的频率和严重程度。这种方法的一个相关特点是,它有可能用于没有详细交通事故历史记录的地区,这在全球南方国家很常见。我们将该方法应用于哥伦比亚的一个农村公路网,那里最近的一项法律规定,技术标准应支持测速摄像头的位置。案例研究使用了六年的事故信息,以及在研究地区进行的道路安全审计的风险数据。尽管该地区的事故历史记录并不完整,但该方法允许在该区域优先安装速度摄像头,并确定相关变量来确定摄像头的位置。相关变量包括道路的几何特征、交通流量、风险因素以及与人口稠密中心的距离。使用速度控制应该是道路安全管理系统的一部分,该系统允许根据可靠的技术标准定义摄像头的位置。

期刊介绍: At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
