Traffic conflict analysis: from the Swedish conflict technique to video-based analysis methods
Abstract
To improve road safety, it is necessary to measure it accurately, to identify the causes of safety problems and to make recommendations. These analyses are usually based on historical accident data, but it is known that solutions can also be found by observing near-accident events.
