The study of the features of compensation for harm caused by a high-risk object is important both from theoretical and practical points of view. The article attempts to justify the possibility for a court to use expert techniques in determining the proportions of compensation for property damage caused by a traffic accident resulting from inadequacy of road conditions to safety requirements. The subjective basis for imposing liability on a driver for the damage caused by the accident is the high-risk object owner’s conscious choice to carry out activities entailing an accidental harmful result. When considering the cases of this category, the court may face the problem of determining the proportions of compensation for the damage that has arisen from the inadequacy of the driving to the requirements of traffic regulations and from negligence in the performance of duties by the road services. In this case, it is proposed to determine the proportions of damages from the standpoint of rationale for the extent of the driver’s technical ability to prevent the accident.

The groups of participants of the pedestrian and automobile flows, whose actions cause the greatest danger to the occurrence of conflict situations in the zone of unregulated transition, are identified. The factors determining the likelihood of a traffic accident at an unregulated transition are systematized, for which probability estimates of the occurrence of road traffic accidents are calculated. As an estimated parameter, the hazard coefficient of a conflict point of an unregulated transition is proposed, which is determined by the ratio of the probability of a traffic accident in the real-time hourly interval to the average annual probability of a traffic accident reduced to the hourly interval. The dependences of the hazard ratio of an unregulated transition are established on the most significant factors: the speed mode of transport in the area before the transition and the state of the road surface.

Tyre imprints on the skin are usually considered to be the result of being run over by a motor vehicle. This article reports a traffic accident in which tyre marks on the victim’s skin were caused by a collision rather than by being run over. The mechanism of the injury in this case is analysed and discussed. A 23-year-old male drove a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol and collided with a sign pillar on the side of the road. Both the victim and the motorcycle careened into the bottom of a tractor-trailer. No witnesses or surveillance videos could confirm the process of the accident. Because tyre imprints were found on the victim’s skin, traffic police believed that he had been run over during the accident. However, forensic autopsy and analysis of the accident process revealed that the true cause of the imprints was a collision between the victim’s body and a tyre.

Every year we lose many young road users in road traffic accidents. Based on traffic accident data issued by the Indonesian National Police in 2017, the number of casualties was highest in the age group 15-19, with 3,496 minor injuries, 400 seriously injured and 535 deaths. This condition is very alarming considering that student as the nation's next generation lose their future due to the accidents. This figure does not include other traffic violations, not having a driver license, not wearing a helmet, driving opposite the direction, those given ticket and verbal reprimand. To reduce traffic accident for young road user, road safety campaigns were organized in many schools in Jakarta. This activity aims to socialize the road safety program to increase road safety awareness among young road users/students including the dissemination of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Another purpose of this program is to accompany school administrators to set up a School Safe Zone (ZoSS), a location on particular roads in the school environment that are time-based speed zone to set the speed of the vehicle. The purpose of this paper is to promote the road safety campaigns strategies by considering various campaign tools.

Automatic navigation in an unknown environment raises various challenges as many cues about orientation are difficult to perceive without the use of vision. Though assisted aids such as GPS devices help in route finding, still it fails to fulfill safety requirements. This paper proposes a framework that provides accurate guiding and information on the route traversal and the topography of the road ahead. The framework is composed of technologies such as Lumigrids, Drone, GPS, Mobile applications, Cloud storage which are used to map the road surface and generate proper navigation guidance to the end user. This is done in three stages; [1]. Off-line mapping of the road surface and storing this information in the cloud. 2. Wearable technology used for obtaining in real-time surface information and comparing it to the data on the cloud facilitating accurate and safer navigation 3. Updating the cloud information with information collected by the pedestrian

The number of mobile applications has been increasing rapidly in every field of life with the increasing use of smart devices. Smartphones and tablets make our lives easier with their properties and application they include. Minor or major accidents in traffic are always present in the daily life resulting in financial damage and loss of lives. There have been a number of studies done to speed up the processes to be done from the moment an accident happens. This study aims to enable people to perform all of the post-accident processes quickly and accurately with the use of mobile devices. In this way, papers and documents like photographs will be sent to the competent authorities without wasting time and effort. In addition, access to the road assistance needed will be quite easy. Keywords: Traffic accident, loss assessment and proceedings, mobile application.

In this study, road traffic injury (RTI) was defined as any injury resulting from a road traffic accident irrespective of severity and outcome. Road traffic accident (RTA) was defined as any crash on the road involving at least one moving vehicle, irrespective of it resulting in an injury. This could include collision with a vehicle or any non`moving object while driving/riding a vehicle, collision with a moving vehicle while walking/running/standing/ sitting on the road, or fall from a moving vehicle. The burden of road traffic accidents (RTA) is a leading cause of all trauma admissions in hospitals worldwide. Road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to victims, their families, and to nations as a whole. These losses arise from the cost of treatment (including rehabilitation and incident investigation) as well as reduced/lost productivity (e.g. in wages) for those killed or disabled by their injuries and for family members who need to take time off work (or school) to care for the injured. Road traffic fatality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the highest, accounts for 4.7% of all mortalities. Road injuries also are reported to be the most serious in this country, with an accident to injury ratio of 8:6. In this study, we try to focus on some causes of the accidents in KSA, so we can implement the prevention plan.

You Pedestrians are one of the highest traffic accident objects. Several ways are used to reduce the number of accidents, among others by providing road crossing facilities, such as zebra cross and pedestrian bridge crossing. Unfortunately, the utilization of such facilities, especially pedestrian bridge crossing is still very less. This condition raises the need to identify efficiency use the pedestrian bridge crossing. The study location is a pedestrian bridge crossing in the road of Pangeran Antasari, Banjarmasin City. The studies method used are survey method and analysis method. The analysis shows that pedestrian percentage that doesn’t use pedestrian bridge crossing is very big, that is 87% at busy time and 88% at not busy time. The solution to increase the use of pedestrian bridge crossing is by install a curb railing fence on both sides of the road (about 200 m).

Analysis of maritime accident data is important for improving safety management. Clustering is the favoured method of mining marine accident data. However, traditional one-way clustering methods are limited by their focus on global patterns, which does not account for the contingent characteristics of accidents. In this study, biclustering algorithms (BAs) typically used for gene expressions are introduced for analysis of inland water traffic accident data. BAs are good for discovering local patterns (LPs), which represent the similarities between partial accidents and partial attributes. LPs are the more likely modes in accident data, which are difficult to discern using who is traditional one-way clustering. During biclustering of original accident data, six LPs involving replicative accidents are uncovered, thereby suggesting a high risk in similar scenarios. With biclustering of accident attribute factors, the interrelationships among factors are discovered. According to the LPs explored using BAs, high-risk scenarios should gain the attention of shipping companies and safety management departments. Two recommendations are presented: raising awareness of the need for immediate accident reporting and disseminating rescue knowledge. After comparing their applications, the order-preserving submatrix (OPSM) and conserved gene expression motif (xMotifs) algorithms are regarded as the most suitable BAs for analysing maritime accident data.
