项目名称: WAYS OF IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS AND CHILDREN IN DEVELOPED URBAN AREAS
摘要: THE OBJECT OF THE WORK IS TO ANALYSE THE EFFECT OF MEASURES TAKEN TO MODIFY THE ROAD NETWORK ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF PEDESTRIANS, CHILDREN AND DRIVERS. THE STUDY IS BEING CARRIED OUT ON A MODEL PROJECT FOR CONTROLLING TRAFFIC IN BERLIN (WEST). SINGLE MEASURES AND TOTAL MEASURES ARE BEING EVALUATED FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO IMPROVING TRAFFIC SAFETY. FROM THE RESULTS OF THE CASE STUDY RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING DRAWN UP. ONE AIM OF THE RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A METHOD OF RAPIDLY CHECKING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPROVEMENT MEASURES WITHOUT GREAT EXPENSE. MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS ARE OBTAINED BY OBSERVATION OF CONFLICTS. THE METHODS OF ERKE AND ZIMOLONG USED IN ASSESSING PEDESTRIAN CONFLICTS ARE BEING EXTENDED TO AREAS WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC AND LOW ACCIDENT RATES. THE RESEARCH IS DIVIDED INTO A COMPARATIVE PARALLEL STUDY AND A BEFORE AND AFTER STUDY.
