Adapting Road Infrastructure Design to Autonomous Driving

Promet je brzorastuća grana sama po sebi, no kada se tome pribroji brzi razvitak tehnologija, dobije se strmi rast. Svakim je danom većina ljudske populacije primorana koristiti barem jedan vid prometa. Potražnja raste uz nemogućnost ostvarivanja brze ponude. Velika potražnja = velik broj vozila = velik broj korisnika = velik broj potencijalnih opasnih situacija u prometu, to su problemi s kojima se svakodnevno susreće inženjer prometa. Njihova je odgovornost da njihovi sugrađani stignu sigurni od točke A do točke B. Posao im se može olakšati detaljnim i kvalitetnim zakonima i pravilnicima za projektiranje prometnica, koje Republika Hrvatska trenutno nema. Ovim radom, usporediti će se svjetska praksa projektiranja prometnica s hrvatskom, te će se na temelju usporedbe navesti prijedlozi unaprjeđenja hrvatskih zakona i pravilnika. Zbog ljudskog faktora koji je prisutan u cestovnom prometu, nije moguće svesti broj prometnih nesreća na nulu. Ono što je moguće jest smanjiti težinu ozljeda ukoliko do prometne nesreće dođe., a u čemu ključnu ulogu ima upravo prometna infrastruktura.Traffic is a fast-growing industry in itself, but when You add to thtad the increasingly rapid development of technology, the result is even steeper traffic growth. Every day, the majority of the human population is forced to use at least one type of transport. Paralel with the constant and rapid growth of traffic demand also grows the impossibility of achievning a fast enough offer. High demand = high number of vehicles = high number of users = high number of potential dangerous traffic situations, these are the problems that traffic engineers face every day. It is engineers responsibility that their fellow citizens arrive safely from point A to point B. Their work can be made easier by detailed and high-quality laws and rules for road design, which the Republic of Croatia certainly does not have. This master's thesis will compare the world practice of road design with the Croatian practice, and based on that comparison, proposals for improving Croatian laws and guides will be presented. Due to the human factor present in road traffic, it is not possible to reduce the number of traffic accidents to a complete zero. What is possible is to reduce the severity of injuries if a traffic accident occurs
