摘要: A research programme at TRL over the last decade has demonstrated beyond doubt that faster drivers choose to travel, more likely they are be involved in an accident, and higher speeds on roads with otherwise similar characteristics associated accidents. The included a European study of speed accidents rural single-carriageway roads, but this relatively small proportion UK roads. report describes extensive investigation relationship between England. involved: site selection; collection analysis data from 174 road sections; application statistical techniques group modelling relate accident frequency factors such as traffic flow, vehicle other road. presents resulting speed-accident relationships discusses their implications for management.
