The methodology to determine dependence between traffic accidents and infrastructural aobjects on Slovenian highway network

Naloga predstavlja analizo prometne varnosti na slovenskem avtocestnem omrežju z namenom definicije kriterijev za določitev nevarnih odsekov. Raziskane so metodologije za določevanje nevarnih odsekov (oz. "črnih točk"), ki jih uporabljajo v tujih državah ter že obstoječe metodologije za določitev nevarnih odsekov na glavnih in regionalnih cestah v Republiki Sloveniji. Z izsledki tega je postavljena metodologija za določitev nevarnih odsekov na avtocestnem omrežju. Na osnovi določitve nevarnih odsekov je raziskana povezava med nevarnimi odseki in infrastrukturnimi objekti (mostovi, viadukti, predori,,...) na teh odsekih. Izsledki naloge so uporabni pri projektiranju novih odsekov avtocestnega omrežja, kakor tudi pri odpravljanju nevarnih odsekov na obstoječem avtocestnem omrežju, s čimer se lahko izboljša prometna varnost na avtocestnem omrežju v Sloveniji.The thesis represents an analysis of road safety within the Slovene highway system. Its main aim is the determination of criteria defining a “dangerous road section”. Methodologies to determine dangerous road sections (“black spots”), used in foreign countries, as well as already existing methodologies for the definition of the above mentioned sections on main and regional roads within the Republic of Slovenia, have been included in the research. As a result a methodology for the definition of dangerous sections in the highway system has been created. On the basis of the dangerous sections definition the relationship between dangerous road sections and the infrastructure objects (bridges, viaducts, tunnels etc.) has been analysed for these particular sections. The results of the research are applicable in the planning process of new sections of the highway system as well as in the process of eliminating already existing dangerous road sections. This can lead to a greatly improved road safety of the highway system in Slovenia
