Traffic Safety

Investigation of accidents occurring at intersections and on the open road is an important traffic-planning instrument for identifying both deficiencies in traffic infrastructure and especially dangerous behavior on the part of road users. The information thus gained helps to eliminate existing high accident locations as well prevent new ones from being created in the course of planning or redesigning intersections and road sections, both in urban and non-urban areas.

Using police accident statistics and following general guidelines on accident analysis and evaluation, we conduct studies on opens roads and intersections, for individual groups of road users, for clearly defined system types and for certain combinations of traffic procedures and climatic / meteorological conditions. The results of these studies not only benefit the systems, areas or target groups that were the subjects of the study, but also serve as a general basis for future traffic planning and as a guideline for government agencies.
