Overview
Background & policy context:
The primary aim was to create and validate the system accurately localising accidents in a way so that it is possible to receive, verify and store the information into central traffic accident registry.
Objectives:
The project's objective was to increase safety on the roads in the Czech Republic by application of anti-accident measures on the spots with high incident concentration and monitoring of their efficiency.
Methodology:
- The first part has been installed into the vehicles of traffic police and ensured unified accident localisation on the territory of the Czech Republic, including registration of detailed information on the accidents.
- Police localise accidents with GPS instruments directly on the spot during investigation. Information on accident's coordinates is then entered into the system which subsequently localises the event on a map and provides other data for exact localisation of the accident.
- The second (analytical) part of the system has located accident spots in the whole Czech road network and enabled traffic engineers to carry out various expert analysis (relative accident frequency monitoring, loss indicators monitoring etc.) based on data, collected on accidents.
- The system then has offered traffic engineers a suitable solution, i.e. redevelopment of localised accident spots through anti-accident measures and enabled to monitor return and effectiveness of the applied anti-accident measures.
- The third (publishing) part of the system has taken care of providing the information on traffic accidents, accident spots and anti-accident measures to professional public and Integrated Rescue System organs, cities, municipalities etc.
