From the analysis of traffic behaviour by video the following conclusions can be drawn (1) recording and analysing the traffic behaviour in detail may give a lot of information about the functioning of several road design elements, (2) the method as described in this paper, based on video, enables a process oriented analysis of interacting behaviour between road users, not necessarily restricted only to the time-to - collision concept, and (3) however, in spite of a semi-automatic analysis procedure by the use of a mini computer, the quantitative analysis remains time consuming. Further automation of the procedure seems necessary. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD abstract no 265671.
