Roadside infrastructure for safer European roads: D04 Envelope of vehicle and driver response prior to collisions
This report describes the human factors issues related to roadside infrastructure.
The report gives an overview of the accident causation issues identified in the
RISER detailed database, summarises the results of a detailed human factors
road scene analysis of ten selected accident sites, and details the results of a
driver simulator study conducted at TNO
Roadside infrastructure for safer European roads: D02 Summary of driver behaviour and driver interactions with roadside infrastructure
Purpose: The literature review presented here was conducted within Work-
Package 1 of the EU-RISER project. Within this Workpackage, Task 1.3
consisted of collecting existing literature identifying the response of the driving
public to changes in road design, in order to prevent severe consequences of
single vehicle run of road accidents. This Deliverable (D 02) serves as a starting
point to include Human Factors principles within the roam of roadside
infrastructure design by means of developing guidelines and analysis
procedures necessary to select, implement, and operate a safe, efficient and
affordable roadside infrastructure in the EU
Roadside infrastructure for safer European roads: D08 European best practice for roadside design: guidelines for maintenance and operations of roadside infrastructure.
Maintenance and operations of road safety equipment and infrastructure ensure that
all safety related elements of the road system are operating as they were designed,
tested, and approved. Maintenance of road equipment should not only be considered
as the repair of broken or damaged equipment, but also as a potential monitoring
system for the road network. This overlooked aspect of maintenance and operations
is a central theme for the following sections
