Both locations were on the list of the most dangerous road sections of the Hungarian road network. At the first location, the ratio of speeding vehicles at the line of the cameras dropped by 92,3 %, while at the other location the decline was 55,6 %.įollowing the preliminary measurements and calculations, the two pilot locations were chosen where possible interventions had been elaborated to increase the road safety level of the sections. In the case of fixed-site speed cameras, the average and V85 speeds were 6,5-8 km/h lower when the device was operating, while the ratio of speeding vehicles was also significantly lower in these cases. In the case of vehicle activated speed signs at all 5 locations, the average speeds and V85 speeds were lower when the device was operating (speed reduction varies from 0,5 km/h to 7 km/h). Significant effects on speed choice had been observed when speed signs and speed cameras were implemented. the ratio of vehicles exceeding the speed limit, reducing speed, increasing speed.V85 speeds (calculated for every 5 meters, both in front of the device and behind the device).average speeds (calculated for every 5 meters, both in front of the device and behind the device).During the measurements, not only the road section in front of the devices but also the section behind the devices were examined.īased on the results, the following data had been calculated in both cases: when the device was operating and when it was not: The locations varied according to their characteristics and also according to the measuring devices used. class main roads in Hungary, the measurements were carried out at seven different locations. With the help of formulas on the relationship of speed and accident risk, the expected fall of road accidents and injuries could be estimated at the two chosen pilot road sections.Īfter the identification of the most dangerous road sections of the I. The aim of the Pilot was to examine the effects of vehicle activated speed warning signs and fixed-site speed cameras and to propose interventions based on the results. KTI Institute for Transport Sciences Non-profit Ltd., as a RADAR project partner, has successfully implemented a Pilot project in Hungary in the field of speed management.
