The second ESAR Conference took place at the Medical University Hannover. This year conference presents the current state of affairs of relevant research activities in the field of in-depth investigations. The first conference on ESAR (Expert Symposium on Accident Research) was established in 2004. It is planned to hold ESAR every two years. Hannover seems to be the right place for this conference concerning the fact that the first in-depth research team was found here in the year 1973 and comprehensive studies on accident analysis were spread out from here around the world continuously. This year conference topped all expectations in terms of the numbers of participants, in the variety of papers and the interdisciplinary of presenters from medical, psychological and engineering background. More than 100 delegates from all over the world, that means 13 different countries and from 4 different continents, came to Hannover, presented their results of accident investigation and discussed countermeasures for accident prevention and injury reduction. ESAR should be a platform for exchange of knowledge to find an optimized way for increase of traffic and vehicle safety by in-depth investigation and methodology. ESAR as international conference should be a platform for consideration of all nations round the world. This seems to be very important for the current situation, having high safety in the high industrial countries of Europe, US and Australia, but low safety and high injury risk in Asia and Africa.
In recent years considerable progress in active and passive safety of road vehicles has been made. The road traffic of today is much safer than in the past. A current vehicle has a lot more safety elements resulting in an improved inner and outer technique. In most European countries the number of fatalities is decreasing despite growing traffic and road usage. Nevertheless, the number of casualties in road traffic accidents is high enough, thus more progress is needed if the number of fatalities is to be reduced by 50%, as postulated by the European Commission for the year 2010. In order to develop countermeasures and further possibilities for injury prevention, it is increasingly important to have accident data available, supplying results quickly and giving the best overview across Europe. In-Depth-Data Sampling Procedures have a huge historical development, starting in the 60ies by the car manufactures, continued during the 70ies mostly by some universities mainly in England, Sweden, France and Germany, today a net of in-depth-investigation teams are working across Europe and around the world.One of the oldest teams is located at the Hannover Medical School, founded in 1973 by the German Government on behalf of the Federal Highway Research Institute Bast. It was the only team worldwide that was equipped with blue light emergency cars, working on scene in time so directly after the event and working continuously during the years, collecting 20 thousand accidents within 30 years period. Since 1999 the order is carried out in cooperation with the German car industry, which is interested and has benefit on the data too. On the basis of the new data collection, so called GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study), that has been run at the Technical University Dresden and the Medical University Hannover), a special tool for In-Depth-Accident Analysis was founded. It is the task of this conference to build a platform for such research based on In-Depth-Investigation. The conference is specially aimed at the area of accident data analysis in order to contribute to the harmonization of different investigation methods and accumulation of different results that does exist for different countries worldwide. Up to now no special conference did exist to deal with accident data only following in the discussion for an improvement in traffic and vehicle safety. ESAR - expert symposium on accident research - should be a step forward. This first international conference is being organized by the Accident Research Unit at the Medical University Hannover jointly with the German Federal Highway Research Institute Bast and the Research Association of German Car Manufacturers FAT. The conference should be a platform for an interdisciplinary exchange of information based on the different presentations from participants around the world.
Die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) führt seit 1957 Eignungsprüfungen von Fahrbahnmarkierungen durch. Diese erfolgten bis 1980 auf Prüffeldern. Vor circa 20 Jahren wurde es unter anderem aus Gründen der Verkehrssicherheit und zur Gewährleistung der Vergleichbarkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit der Prüfergebnisse notwendig, ein Laborverfahren zur Durchführung dieser Aufgabe zu entwickeln. Folge hiervon sind die seit 15 Jahren mit Hilfe der Rundlaufprüfanlage durchgeführten und inzwischen europaweit anerkannten Eignungsprüfungen von Markierungssystemen. Durch die Einführung Europäischer Normen und der Notifizierung der BASt als Prüf-, Überwachungs- und Zertifizierungsstelle im Rahmen der Bauproduktenrichtlinie wurden Änderungen beim Prüfverfahren, der angewandten Prüfmethoden und der räumlichen Gegebenheiten notwendig. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die technische Weiterentwicklung der Anlage und die durch äußere Umstände notwendig gewordenen Änderungen des Prüfverfahrens der Eignungsprüfung von Markierungssystemen beschrieben. Gleichzeitig werden die Daten der seit 1989 durchgeführten Eignungsprüfungen einer quantitativen Analyse unterzogen.
Es wird über einen Kongress zur Gestaltung von Verkehrssicherheitskampagnen berichtet. Ziel dieses Kongresses war es, im europäischen Vergleich Stellenwert und Wirkung verschiedener Stilmittel und insbesondere die Vor- und Nachteile der Konfrontation als Instrument von Kampagnen herauszuarbeiten. Der Kongress bestätigte die verkehrspolitische These, dass es in der Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit keine für alle Staaten richtigen Konzepte für Erziehung und Aufklärung geben kann.
