Identification of critical places on roads in extravillan
Identification of critical places on roads in extravillan
The methodology represents a new approach to the identification of critical places, which is based on modern foreign knowledge and has not been used in the Czech Republic so far. The fundamental difference compared to traditional methods lies in the use of the so-called expected number of accidents to predict the accident rate. Currently, critical points are identified on the basis of recorded traffic accidents, which does not allow consideration of the effect of regression to the mean. The new method is based on statistical methods and provides more reliable results than traditional methods.
