M. SAUTHOFF berichtet über bestehende Refinanzierungsmöglichkeiten für Aufwendungen zum Bau und zur Unterhaltung öffentlicher Straßen. Unter Refinanzierung werden in diesem Beitrag Möglichkeiten der mittelbaren oder unmittelbaren Heranziehung privater Finanzierung der Wahrnehmung von Aufgaben der Straßenbaulast verstanden, also des Baues, des Ausbaus, der Verbesserung und der Unterhaltung öffentlicher Straßen. Zur Erarbeitung von Finanzierungsmodellen im Bereich des Straßenbaus ist eine gerechte Verteilung der zuvor zu definierenden Kosten auf die Betreffenden zu berücksichtigen, die von der jeweiligen Straßenbaumaßnahme einen Vorteil haben, etwaige Doppelbelastungen sind zu erkennen und zu vermeiden und Steuerungseffekte sind hinreichend zu prognostizieren. Der Autor geht auf die Begriffsbestimmungen des Regelungsbereiches ein, die Bedeutung für die Finanzierbarkeit von Straßenbauvorhaben einschließlich ihrer Planung und erläutert die verschiedenen möglichen Modelle zur Übertragung von Aufgaben auf Private (Betreibermodell, Konzessionsmodell, Betriebsführungsmodell). In 11 Thesen fasst der Autor seine Ausführungen zusammen. Das tradierte System der Finanzierung des Straßenbaus und der Straßenunterhaltung erscheint vor dem Hintergrund der Situation der öffentlichen Haushalte zunehmend als unzureichend. Eine Lösung wird in der Zusammenarbeit der Öffentlichen Hand mit Privaten gesehen, der so genannten öffentlichen privaten Partnerschaft (PPP), die seit den 90er Jahren in neuen Formen praktiziert und intensiviert wird. Lag der Schwerpunkt anfangs noch vornehmlich auf dem Fernstraßenbau des Bundes, so haben nun auch einzelne Länder konkrete Vorstellungen über eine Zusammenarbeit mit Privaten im Bereich des Baus und der Unterhaltung von Straßen entwickelt. Die Einbeziehung von privaten Ingenieurbüros und Baufirmen bei Straßenplanung, Bauausführung und Bauerhaltung ist inzwischen Standard geworden, werden als Verwaltungshilfe für die öffentlichen Aufgabenträger bezeichnet und finden überwiegend im Innenverhältnis zu der beauftragenden Straßenbauverwaltung statt. B. WITTING berichtet über die Erfahrungen mit öffentlicher privater Partnerschaft und unterschiedlichen Finanzierungsmodellen am Beispiel der Warnowquerung in Rostock, das als Pilotprojekt wichtige positive wie negative - Erkenntnisse zu einer Fortführung der Finanzierung von Straßenbauprojekten nach dem Fernstraßenbauprivatfinanzierungsgesetz (FstrPrivFinG) bietet. Im staatlichen Straßenbau besteht ein Missverhältnis zwischen den bestehenden Baulastaufgaben und den zur Verfügung stehenden Haushaltsmitteln. Der Beitrag von M. MAß zum Bau von Staatsstraßen in gemeindlicher Sonderbaulast beleuchtet die Schnittstelle von Straßen- und Haushaltsrecht am Beispiel des bayerischen Landesrechts und der hierzu ergangenen Rechtsprechung nebst Hinweisen auf Bundesrecht. Anhand konkreter Beispiele für den Bau von Ortsumgehungen zur Ausschaltung von Ortsdurchfahrten erläutert der Autor die mit dem Bau und der Finanzierung von so genannten kommunalen Entlastungsstraßen und ihrer Klassifizierung einher gehenden Probleme für die betreffenden Gemeinden. Der Referent stellt das Sonderprogramm "Staatsstraßen in gemeindlicher Sonderbaulast zur Förderung aus der Kraftfahrzeugsteuer" im Finanzausgleichsgesetz (FAG) vor. Bis-her wurden in Bayern insgesamt 47 Maßnahmen mit einem Finanzvolumen von rund 187 Millionen Euro und einem Fördervolumen von rund 140 Millionen Euro gefördert. Ein Beitrag über die vergaberechtlichen Probleme der Privatfinanzierung im Bau von Fernstraßen behandelt Probleme, die sich aus der Berührung der unterschiedlichen Rechtsgebieten des Straßenrechts, des Privatisierungsrechts und des Vergaberechts ergeben. Das Straßenrecht befasst sich sachlich mit der Erstellung, der Nutzung und der Unterhaltung von Straßen. Im Privatisierungsrecht verbinden sich aufgabenbezogene, ordnungspolitische und finanzielle Aspekte, die gleichermaßen private wie staatliche Aufgaben und Interessen betreffen , das Vergaberecht wiederum behandelt die Auswahl privater Finanziers, das wirtschaftliche Handeln der öffentlichen Hand und die Verteilungsgerechtigkeit. Der Beitrag von M. BURGI setzt sich mit der komplexen Materie der spezifischen Probleme der Public Private Partnership (PPP) im Rahmen der funktionalen Privatisierung und des Verwaltungshandelns auseinander und gibt einen Überblick über Erfordernisse bei der Ausschreibung von PPP-Projekten.
The paper gives an overview of the recent (mostly 2012) figures of killed bus/coach occupants (drivers and passengers) in 27 Member States of the European Union as reported by CARE. The Evolution of the figures of bus/coach occupants killed in road accidents urban, rural without motorway and on motorways from 1991 to 2010 in 15 Member States of the EU supplements this information. More detailed are the figures reported for Germany by the Federal Statistics. The paper displays long-term evaluations (1957 to 2012) for killed, seriously and slightly injured occupants in all kinds of buses/coaches. Midterm evaluations (1995 to 2012) of the figures of fatalities and casualties are displayed for different busses according to their identification of road using as coaches, urban buses, school buses, trolley buses and "other buses". To be able to compare the evolutions of the safety of vehicle occupants it is customary to use different risk indicators. Calculations and illustrations for three often used indicators with their development over time are given: fatalities, seriously injured and slightly injured per 100,000 vehicles registered, per 1 billion (109) vehicle-kilometres travelled and per 1 billion (109) person-kilometres. These indicators are shown for occupants of cars, goods vehicles and buses/coaches. For the period from 1957 until 2012 it is obvious, that for all three vehicle categories analysed there was a clear long-term trend towards more occupant safety in terms of casualties per vehicles registered and per vehicle mileage. This was most significant for car occupants but it can be seen for bus/coach occupants and goodsvehicle occupants as well. Figures of killed occupants and of casualties related to person-kilometres are calculated and displayed for the shorter period 1995 to 2012. Here it becomes obvious that the bus/coach is still the safest mode of transport for the occupants of road vehicles. Graphs for the casualty risk indices still show significantly higher risks for car occupants despite the corresponding curve moved sustainable downwards. It is remarkable, that the risks of being killed or injured for the occupants of urban buses is growing whereas the corresponding risk for the occupants of coaches in line traffic tends downwards. The article ends with a short comparison and discussion of the risk indicators which are actually published for the occupants (driver and passengers) of cars and the passengers of buses/coaches, railroads, trams and airplanes. The interpretation of such information depends on the perception and it seems that for a complete view not only one indicator should be used and the evolutions of the indicator values during longer periods (as displayed with examples in the paper) should also be taken into account.
In-depth accident investigation offers many advantages for the analysis and comprehension of crash mechanisms. IFSTTAR makes such investigations since 1992 without interruption. The corresponding database contains more than 1200 accident case studies. Currently, in-depth accident investigation is one of the best ways to determine the speed or cars involved in accidents. This paper first presents the methods used for accident investigation and for accident kinematic reconstruction. Then, in order to illustrate the interest and possible applications of such accident data, it shows some results from a recent study based on the IFSTTAR in-depth accident study programme (IDAS) and dealing with the link between travelling speed and accident risk.
The SafetyNet project was formulated in part to address the need for safety oriented European road accident data. One of the main tasks included within the project was the development of a methodology for better understanding of accident causation together with the development of an associated database involving data obtained from on-scene or "nearly onscene" accident investigations. Information from these investigations was complemented by data from follow-up interviews with crash participants to determine critical events and contributory factors to the accident occurrence. A method for classification of accident contributing factors, known as DREAM 3.0, was developed and tested in conjunction with the SafetyNet activities. Collection of data and case analysis for some 1 000 individual crashes have recently been completed and inserted into the database and therefore aggregation analyses of the data are now being undertaken. This paper describes the methodology development, an overview of the database and the initial aggregation analyses.
Pedestrians represent about 20% of the overall fatalities in Europe- road traffic accidents. In this paper a methodology is proposed to understand why the numbers are so high, especially in the south of Europe and particularly in Portugal, . First a detailed statistical analysis using Ordinal Logistic Regression model (OLR) was applied to the gathered data from all Portuguese accidents with victims in the period 2010-2012. In a second stage accident reconstruction computational techniques using pedestrian biomechanical models are used to evaluate the accident conditions that lead to the injuries, such as the speed and the impact location. For biomechanical injury criterions, the AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale), the HIC (Head Injury Criterion) and other injury criterions based on the resulting accelerations in the pedestrian's body are used. The statistical model reported that there were several predictors that significantly influenced the pedestrian injury severity in the event of a road accident, such as Pedestrian's age, Pedestrian's gender, Vehicle Design/Category or Driver's gender. The use of injury scales and biomechanical criterions in in-depth investigation of road accidents, such as AIS, can significantly improve the quality of the reconstruction process.
The incidence of side impacts was investigated from GIDAS data. Both vehicle-fixed object and vehicle-vehicle collisions were analysed as these are enclosed within the consumer testing program. Vehicle-fixed object collisions were stratified according to ESC availability. Results indicated that vehicles equipped with ESC rarely have pure-lateral impacts. An increase in oblique collisions was seen for the vehicles with ESC whereby most vehicle were driving in left curves. The analysis of vehicle-vehicle collisions developed injury risk curves were developed at the AIS3+ injury severity for the vehicle-vehicle side impacts. Results suggested that greatest injury risk occurred when a Pre Euro NCAP vehicle was struck by a Post Euro-NCAP vehicle. The remaining curves did not show different behaviour, indicating that stiffness increased have been equally combated. This was attributable to the few Post Euro-NCAP vehicles that had a deployed curtain airbag available in the sample. The integration of Euro NCAP testing has shown to improve vehicle crashworthiness for pole collisions, as those vehicles with ESC rarely incur lateral impacts.
The data situation for quantifying the proportion of accidents avoided by the introduction of active safety systems is incomplete, since there is generally no data available on the accidents avoided by the technology in question. In this paper, a split-register approach is suggested and compared with the classical case-control approach known from epidemiologic applications. Provided a set of assumptions hold, which can reasonably be made in such data situations, the split register approach allows inferences on the population accident risk. For both approaches the benefits of basing the analysis on the results of a logistic regression to adjust for confounding factors are outlined. The biasing effects of violating key assumptions are discussed and the split-register approach is demonstrated using the example of the active safety system ESP with data from the German in-depth accident study GIDAS.
Description of road traffic related knee injuries in published investigations is very heterogeneous. The purpose of this study was to estimate the risk of knee injuries in real world car impacts in Germany focusing vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists) and restrained car drivers. The accident research unit analyses technical and medical data collected shortly after the accident at scene. Two different periods (years 1985-1993 and 1995-2003) were compared focusing on knee injuries (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AISKnee) 2/3). In order to determine the influences type of collision, direction and speed as well as the injury pattern and different injury scores (AIS, MAIS, ISS) were examined. 1.794 pedestrians, 742 motorcyclists, 2.728 bicyclists and 1.116 car drivers were extracted. 2% had serious ligamentous or bony injuries in relation to all injured. The risk of injury is higher for twowheelers than for pedestrians, but knee injury severity is higher for the latter group. Overall the current knee injury risk is low and significant reduced comparing both time periods (27%, p<0,0001). Severe injuries (AISKnee 2/3) were below 1%). Improved aerodynamic design of car fronts reduced the risk for severe knee injuries significantly (p=0,0015). Highest risk of injury is for motorcycle followed by pedestrians, respectively. Knee protectors could prevent injuries by reducing local forces. The classically described dashboard injury was rarely identified. The overall injury risk for knee injuries in road traffic is lower than estimated and reduced comparing both periods. The aerodynamic shape of current cars compared to older types reduced the incidence and severity of knee injuries. Further modification and optimization of the interior and exterior design could be a proper measurement. Classic described injury mechanisms were rarely identified. It seems that the AIS is still underestimating extremity injuries and their long term results.
Crash involvement studies using routine accident and exposure data : a case for case-control designs
(2009)
Fortunately, accident involvement is a rare event: the chance of an individual road user trip to end up in a crash is close to zero. Thus, according to general epidemiological principles one can expect the case-control study design to be especially suitable for quantifying the relative risk (odds ratio) of accident involvement of road users with a certain risk factor as compared to road users that do not have this characteristic. Ideally, of course, the database for such a case-control study should be established by drawing two independent random samples of cases (accidental units) and controls (nonaccidental units), respectively. If, however, special data collection is not an option, it is nevertheless possible to analyze routine accident and exposure data under a case-control design in order to fully exploit the information contained in already existing databases. As a prerequisite, accident and exposure data from different sources are to be combined in a single file of micro or grouped data in a way consistent with the case-control study design. Among other things, the proposed methodological approach offers the possibility to use in-depth data of the GIDAS type also in investigations of active vehicle safety by combining this data with appropriate vehicle trip data collected in mobility surveys.
Der Beitrag setzt sich mit folgenden Fragestellungen auseinander: 1. Stellen ältere Kraftfahrer ein Sicherheitsrisiko für den Straßenverkehr dar? 2. Wie wurden diese Frage und die "Fahreignung und Fahrtüchtigkeit älterer Kraftfahrer" in den vergangenen 50 Jahren wissenschaftlich bewertet - insbesondere bei Kongressen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Verkehrsmedizin und den Deutschen Verkehrsgerichtstagen? 3. Wie haben in den vergangenen 50 Jahren Juristen, Behörden und Gesetzgeber die "Fahreignung älterer Kraftfahrer" gesehen und umgesetzt? 4. Werden morbiditäts- und altersbedingte Beeinträchtigungen der Leistungsfähigkeit rechtzeitig und richtig durch ältere Kraftfahrer erkannt? 5. Wie gehen ältere Kraftfahrer mit erkannten Leistungsmängeln um? 6. Benötigen ältere Verkehrsteilnehmer Aufklärung, Beratung, Fortbildung und Vorsorge- oder Kontrolluntersuchungen? Insgesamt kann festgestellt werden, dass allein aus normalem Altersabbau und hohem Alter kein Rückschluss auf die Fahruntauglichkeit gezogen werden kann. Das wichtigste gesellschaftliche Ziel für die Teilnahme älterer Menschen am Straßenverkehr ist - angesichts der demographischen Entwicklung - die Einsichtsfähigkeit in das altersbedingt verminderte Leistungsvermögen und den Veränderungswillen zu Kompensationsmechanismen bei älteren Verkehrsteilnehmern zu schärfen. Der behandelnde Arzt, Angehörige und sonstige Bezugspersonen sollten alles tun, um den bejahrten Kraftfahrer zu motivieren, sich seiner Selbstverantwortung bewusst zu werden und demgemäß zu handeln.
