How does Geo spatial technology help road safety auditors in slowing down deaths on road, by using various accident data analysis maps. Please suggest a paper
The basic strategy of a Safe System approach is to ensure that in the event of a crash, the impact energies remain below the threshold likely to produce either death or serious injury. This threshold will vary from crash scenario to crash scenario, depending upon the level of protection offered to the road users involved. For example, the chances of survival for an unprotected pedestrian hit by a vehicle diminish rapidly at speeds greater than 30 km/h, whereas for a properly restrained motor vehicle occupant the critical impact speed is 50 km/h (for side impact crashes) and 70 km/h (for head-on crashes).

There are many papers in the area of accident warning systems based on VANETs. I am not sure, though, whether this is the area you are interested at.

Can anyone help me how to create O-D matrix in TRANSCAD?
Hi, I was working on TRANSCAD and had confusions about creating the link O-D matrix for the larger networks based on the data obtained from the trip tables. I wanted to work on the Chicago Regional Network and I downloaded the trip tables from (http://www.bgu.ac.il/~bargera/tntp/). But somehow I am unable to make O-D matrix for the network. Any help would be appreciated.
