Representative Samples

This study analyses the responses of local residents and international tourist drivers and riders to speed limits on the national road in Bali. A self-reported questionnaire survey was distributed among representative samples of local residents and international tourists in Bali. The questionnaire consisted of variables of demographic factors, riding history, driving/riding experiences on the national road, perceptions on speed sign, involvement in traffic accidents and offenses, attitude, intention, and behavior toward speeding. The results show that demographic factors, involvement in traffic accidents and offenses, experience in driving/riding on national roads, and riding history negatively and significantly influenced perceptions on speed signs for local drivers/riders and on attitudes towards speeding for international tourist driver/riders. Also, attitudes towards speeding have significant and positive influences on intention towards speeding for local drivers/riders. Local residents and international tourists have their own factors that significantly influenced their perceptions of speed limitation on national roads in Bali.

And Behavior

When traveling in a foreign country, road transport is most frequently and conveniently used particularly, but road conditions and manners are stunningly different among countries, which increases potential risks to meet accidents. If tourists feel such risks, it may be that they will not be repeaters and their impressions will also be shared with others, leading to a potential decrease of tourists. Phuket, Thailand, a worldly wellknown beach resort, faces problems in road conditions and manners, with a high rate of traffic accidents and casualties, and governmental actions have to be taken. This paper reports a questionnaire survey result about how international tourists feel and understand road conditions in Phuket during their stay, which is expected to offer good evidence on which governmental actions should be based. The survey results revealed (mostly through the behaviors and recommendations) that the majority of international tourists to Phuket felt risks in terms of road conditions, regardless of whether they drove by themselves or not, and most of them wanted the basic information on road conditions as well as regulations, so that they could prepare themselves. Relations between demographic characteristics and questionnaire replies were also investigated, suggesting that there be a necessity of reducing risks particularly for elderly tourists, and that the driving manner of local residents including professional drivers should be improved.

The importance of road databases for distance calculations and route selection is increasing. One reason is that payments and invoicing are often based on the distance driven. However, it can be hard to agree on a “best” distance because of drivers’ preferences. These preferences can be described by road features such as road length, quality, width, speed limits, etc. Moreover, a pure standard “shortest path”, which is often used in road databases, can result in a route that is considerably shorter than a preferred and agreed distance. Consequently, there is a need to find suitable weights for the features of the roads that provide fair and agreed distances at the same time for all users. We propose an approach to find values of such weights for the features. The optimization model to find weights is an inverse shortest path problem formulated in a mixed integer programming model. The approach is tested for the Swedish Forestry National Road database. Since 2010, it has been in daily use to establish distances and is available for all forestry companies and haulers in Sweden through an online system.

Abstract BackgroundIncrease in occurrence of road traffic accidents in Kano metropolis have resulted into continuous loss of lives, injuries and increased people’s exposure to risk. This study examined road traffic accidents emergency response within Kano metropolis with a view to enhancing its efficiency through establishing communication and synergy between Emergency Healthcare Facilities (EHCF), ambulances and accident hotspots. MethodsGPS surveying was conducted to obtain the location and attributes of the major EHCF, accident hotspots along the junctions of the highways and the 2 existing ambulances at Kano State Fire Service and Federal Road Safety Corp head offices (KSFS and FRSC). Road traffic data (vector format) was digitized from Worldview 3 satellite image (2018, 30cm spatial resolution) from which two major road classes were identified (highways and minor roads) along with their speed limits of 50km/hr and 30km/hr respectively. Time distances were determined based on length and speed limits. Nearest Neighbor and Network analysis (closest facility, shortest route and location-allocation) analyses were conducted. ResultsThe result revealed a variation in the distribution patterns of EHCH, ambulances and accident spots. Closest ambulance facility analysis shows that it takes the FRSC ambulance about 9.41 minutes to reach to accident spot 18 (Maiduguri Road, after NNPC), and 7.52 minutes to travel to AKTH as the closest EHCF. On the other hand, it takes the same ambulance about 3 times the time taken to spot 18 and 4 times the time taken to AKTH to reach to Court road incident spot (spot 16) and IRPH as the closest EHCF. This signifies greater chances of death of almost all victims across the metropolis due to inability to provide CPS within the first 4 minutes before reaching to the hospital. However, in case of Pediatric emergencies, the analysis of closest EHCF from accident spots revealed that it takes less than one minute to travel from accident spots 13, 14 and 15 to IRPH as the closest Pediatric EHCF. Equally, similar time is taken to travel from incident spots 20 and 23 to Sir Sunusi and MMS hospitals respectively. Location-allocation analysis identified eight new locations based on maximum of 4 minutes impedance cutoff from all directions towards the incidents spots. ConclusionIt is concluded that the prevailing road traffic accident emergency response system within the metropolis is inefficient. Therefore, more ambulances should be strategically positioned to fasten emergency response.

The perception of risk is influenced by how the signals about impacts of events are collected, selected, and interpreted. Empirical data suggest that significant differences in the perception of risk occur within the non-expert population itself, as well as between experts and non-expert population. The paper seeks to examine the risk perception of citizens living in an area subject to high hydro-geological risk of Calabria (Southern Italy), and understanding if local policy makers are aware of how local residents perceive risk. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to analyze the perception of experts, stakeholders and citizens on the following research topics: (i) perception of geohydrological risk, involvement in past events and behavior exhibited; (ii) information, communication, preparedness, and feeling of safety and trust. The results of the survey showed the communication gap between experts and people, evidencing the need for local authorities and experts to disseminate the culture of awareness on the risk and to increase the safety level of the citizens by means of participated actions aimed at reducing urban disaster risk.
