Overview

Objectives:

The objective of the project is to recognise the essential relationships between the elements of the structural and operational design of the transition area before the construction site and the characteristics of the traffic flow at different construction types on HLS and assessment of the impact on traffic flow and therefore on road safety. Further aim of the project is the derivation of principles and recommendations for local purposeful design of the transition areas before HLS construction sites in various types of operation.

Methodology:

The analysis of existing VSS standards for establishment and operation of construction sites on high streets revealed several shortcomings. In connection with the recommended improvements is also encouraged to reconsider the standardization concept. Speak the measures proposed in this work additional studies on the issue focusing on "entrances and exits at the construction site Interior" and "roadworks" for this new concept.
