THIS PROJECT WAS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FOUR BASIC ASSUMPTIONS: TYPES OF HIGH RISK TRAFFIC SITUATIONS CAN BE IDENTIFIED; SITUATIONS CAN BE DEFINED BY SIMPLE PARAMETERS SUCH AS TRAFFIC DENSITY, FREE SPEEDS, AND SIMPLE ROAD GEOMETRY; IN GIVEN LOCATIONS, TRAFFIC PATTERNS REPEAT THEMSELVES REGULARY; AND TACTICS CAN BE DESIGNED TO CHANGE THE RISK OF ACCIDENT OCCURRENCE. THIS ARTICLE BRIEFLY DESCRIBES SOME OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES WHICH HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT IN THESE AREAS. RESULTS REPORTED THUS FAR IN THIS ONGOING PROJECT BEAR OUT THE INITIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND INDICATE THAT SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL METHODS AND EQUIPMENT CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TRAFFIC POLICE IN INFLUENCING ASPECTS OF DRIVER BEHAVIOR RELATED TO ACCIDENT RISK.
