Effect Of Motorways On Road Safety In Ireland, Parth B. Shah, Ajinkya S. Mane, Bidisha Ghosh

Civil Engineering Research in Ireland 2020

In Ireland, high-speed motorways were built around the year 2008 to 2010. In order to investigate the effect of motorways on road safety, the research paper aims at identifying the shift of contributing factors related to vehicular crashes, before-and-after the construction of motorways/expressways. Typically, several factors are involved for accidents on motorways, but a better understanding is needed to find the relationship between injury severity and its contributing factors. The current study seeks to find the contributing factors for before-and-after the construction of motorways. In this study, the before period is considered from 2003-2007, and 2012 to 2016 have been …

This research explores the red light running phenomena and offer a better understanding of the factors associated with it. The red light running is a type of traffic violation that can lead to angle crash and the most common counter measure is installing a red light running cameras. Red light running cameras some time can reduce the rates of red light running but because of the increased worry of the public towards crossing the intersection it can cause an increase in rear end crashes. Also the public opinion of the red light running cameras is that they are a revenue …
