Analysis Of The Relationship Between Speed Consistency And Traffic Accident Probability (On The Mojokerto-Surabaya Toll Road), Riki Risfiandi, Martha Leni Siregar Jul 2024

Analysis Of The Relationship Between Speed Consistency And Traffic Accident Probability (On The Mojokerto-Surabaya Toll Road), Riki Risfiandi, Martha Leni Siregar

Smart City

Vehicle speed consistency plays a crucial role in maintaining traffic safety, with speed limits set to reduce accident fatalities. While the direct impact of speed limits on vehicle speed is minimal, their implementation significantly influences driver behavior, with about 85% of drivers complying with speed limits. However, variables such as traffic volume, weather conditions, and travel urgency often cause drivers to be inconsistent in adhering to these limits, increasing accident risk. On the Mojokerto-Surabaya toll road, data from Traffic Corps and Jasa Marga recorded 193 accidents with 101 fatalities from 2018 to August 2023, mostly caused by driver behavior such …
