Human Factor in Road Traffic Safety

Čovjek kao vozač ili sudionik u prometu uvelike utječe na sigurnost prometa, što se može i zaključiti iz analize prometnih nesreća. S povećanjem motorizacije sigurnost prometa se ne smanjuje i sa razvojem automobilske industrije povećavaju posljedice. Prometna kultura je jedan od važnih pokazatelja koeficijenta sigurnosti cestovnog prometa. Utjecaj čovjeka uvelike ovisi o njegovim urođenim karakteristikama i osobinama kao i njegovim stečenim znanjima i sposobnostima. Na sigurnost cestovnog prometa utječe čovjek svojim sposobnostima i odlukama, vozilo svojom tehničkom ispravnosti i kvalitetom tehničkih rješenja, cesta svojom kvalitetom, svojstvima i stanjem, incidentni čimbenik svojim iznenadnim i nepredvidivim pojavama u prometu i promet na cesti svojim propisima i načinom upravljanja sudionika u prometu. U ovom završnom radu prikazani su čimbenici sigurnosti prometa, s prikazom analize prometnih nesreća kao i prijedlog poboljšanja edukacije kod mladih.A person as a driver or a traffic participant greatly influences traffic safety, which can also be concluded from the analysis of traffic accidents. Traffic safety does not decrease with the increase in motorization and the consequences increase with the development of the automobile industry. Traffic culture is one of the important indicators of road traffic safety coefficient. The influence of a person largely depends on his innate characteristics and traits as well as his acquired knowledge and abilities. Road traffic safety is influenced by man with his abilities and decisions, the vehicle with its technical correctness and the quality of technical solutions, the road with its quality, properties and condition, the incident factor with its sudden and unpredictable occurrences in traffic, and road traffic with its regulations and way of managing road users. In this final paper, factors of traffic safety are presented, with an analysis of traffic accidents as well as a proposal for improving the education of young people
