Een modelonderzoek naar bermongevallen: Een correlatieonderzoek naar bermongevallen en het dwarsprofiel, plus een handreiking voor de ontwikkeling van nieuwe ongevallenvoorspellingsmodellen en een nieuwe onderzoeksdatabase van wegkenmerken op basis van de ontwikkeling van de BGT

Nederland heeft de ambitie om het aantal dodelijke en ernstige ongevallen met 25% te reduceren. De ontwikkeling van ongevallenvoorspellingsmodellen (OVM’s) kan hier een bijdrage aan leveren. Op basis van de ontwikkeling van OVM’s kunnen allereerst de effecten van het wegontwerp op de verkeersveiligheid beter worden ingeschat dan in de huidige...

Effects of section control on traffic safety at Dutch motorways

This thesis studies the safety effects of section control systems on Dutch motorways. Section control is a speed enforcement method that measures the mean speed of vehicles passing a specific road section. When this mean speed is, after measurement correction, above the lower ticket threshold, the driver receives a fine. The detection...

A comparison between the pleintje, priority intersection & roundabout: A comparison on cyclist traffic safety, traffic flow and environment

A comparison between the pleintje, priority intersection and roundabout based on the criteria cyclist traffic safety, traffic flow and environment.

The traffic safety of bicycle streets in the Netherlands

In this thesis, the traffic safety of existing bicycle streets in the Netherlands has been studied. In a literature study, an overview of the research so far has been presented. Empirical research based on observations and traffic counts shows the actual use of eight bicycle streets in the Netherlands. The outcomes were used to test bicycle...

Effectiveness Agricultural Vehicle Interventions on Rural Distributor Roads

Analysis of the impact of infrastructural interventions on rural distributor roads, to reduce negative effects of agricultural vehicles on traffic safety, traffic flow and environment.

Development of a prediction model for speed limit violations on tangent road sections

Speeding and red light running are among the major causes for road crashes. Respectively, speeding is more crucial for rural areas, whereas red light running is more frequent in urban areas where most of the traffic lights are located. To adequately address both issues consistent actions are needed in three main directions (also known as the...

Red light running by Cyclists: Which factors influence the red light running by cyclists?

In an ideal world there would be no crashes in traffic. Unfortunately the real world is far from ideal and over 20,000 people get injured in a crash in the Netherlands each year. Around 46,7% of these registered crashes, take place at intersections. To decrease the chance and number of conflicts, and therefore the chance of crashes, many...
