Beschreibungen

<p>Transport systems are facing an impossible dilemma: satisfy an increasing demand for mobility of people and goods, while decreasing their fossil-energy requirements and preserving the environment. Additionally, transport has an opportunity to evolve in a changing world, with new services, technologies but also new requirements (fast delivery, reliability, improved accessibility).</p> <p>The subject of traffic is organized into two separate but complementary volumes: <i>Volume 3</i> on Traffic Management and <i>Volume 4</i> on Traffic Safety.</p> <p><i>Traffic Safety, Volume 4</i> of the <i>Research for Innovative Transports</i> Set, presents a collection of updated papers from the TRA 2014 Conference, highlighting the diversity of research in this field. Theoretical chapters and practical case studies address topics such as road safety management and policies, accident analysis and modeling, vulnerable road users' safety, road infrastructure safety, ITS and railway safety.</p>
