Abstract

This study provides a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of road user behaviour in order to understand better the traffic safety process. The method is an extension of the traffic conflicts technique (TCT) concept, such that the precondition of a collision course remains. Normal interactive behaviour is included in the analysis, not only exceptional behaviours such as those leading to accidents and/or more serious conflicts. To be able to collect such detailed information about behaviour, a more efficient system than the manual observer or video operator is required. Another aim of the paper is therefore to present cognitive vision as a tool for assessing road user behaviour. It is a tool that can improve data acquisition of different indicators on safety, mobility, accessibility etc. For the covering abstract see ITRD E157496
