Straßenbetriebsdienstpersonal unterliegt nicht nur einem im Vergleich zu anderen Berufen stark erhöhten Unfallrisiko, sondern verschiedene Aspekte der Tätigkeit im Straßendienst deuten auch auf eine hohe psychische Belastung der Beschäftigten hin, mit negativen Folgen für Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden. Bei dem Bemühen, Sicherheit und Gesundheit der Beschäftigten am Arbeitsplatz zu fördern, verlangt der Gesetzgeber daher " zum Beispiel im Arbeitsschutzgesetz (-§ 3-5 ArbSchG) " von betrieblichen Entscheidungsträgern, auch psychische Belastungen zu ermitteln, zu beurteilen und entsprechende Schutzmaßnahmen abzuleiten. So sollen mögliche Gefährdungen der physischen und psychischen Gesundheit vermieden werden. Auf dieser Grundlage wurde das hier beschriebene Forschungsprojekt mit zwei Themenschwerpunkten initiiert: zunächst Erfassung und Analyse der Belastungssituation im Straßenbetrieb und daraus abgeleitet ein Umsetzungskonzept zur Integration des Themas "psychische Belastung" in das betriebliche Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz-Management. Zunächst wurde neben Literaturanalysen eine Reihe von halbstrukturierten Interviews mit Experten sowie Führungskräften geführt. In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wurde mittels eines Verfahrens zur subjektiven Arbeitsanalyse die Belastungssituation im Straßenbetrieb ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeitsanalysen, die in zwei unterschiedlich strukturierten Autobahnmeistereien im Bereich der Autobahndirektion Südbayern mit n = 51 Straßenwärtern sowie 5 Straßenmeistern durchgeführt wurden, konnten in nachfolgenden Gruppendiskussionen mit den Mitarbeitern vertieft werden. Zusammenfassend liegen folgende Belastungsschwerpunkte bei Straßenwärtern vor: - Winterdienst, - Unfallgeschehen (Verkehrsunfälle mit Beteiligung von Mitarbeitern), - eher geringer Handlungsspielraum, - hohe Anforderungen an Konzentration und Aufmerksamkeit, - hoher Zeitdruck und hohes Arbeitspensum, - hohe Anforderungen an das Einhalten von Verhaltensvorschriften sowie an Risikoeinschätzung, - zu wenig Erholungszeiten nach Unfällen und im Winterdienst, - schweres Heben und Tragen, - negative Arbeitsumgebungsbedingungen wie Lkw-Verkehr, schnell vorbeifahrende Verkehrsteilnehmer, Lärm, Abgase, sowie Beschimpfungen durch Verkehrsteilnehmer. Die Studie liefert deutliche Hinweise, dass die unmittelbaren Vorgesetzten der Straßenwärter " also die Straßenmeister " in ihrer Schlüsselrolle gesondert zu betrachten sind, sowohl hinsichtlich der besonderen Belastungen als auch der Entwicklung ihrer Führungskompetenz. Zusätzlich wurden auch Verkehrsteilnehmer (n = 120 Pkw-Fahrer) mittels eines Kurzfragebogens an entsprechenden Kontaktplätzen im Umfeld von Bau- und Arbeitsstellen kurzer Dauer (AkD-) unter explorativen Gesichtspunkten befragt. Die Befragungsergebnisse verweisen auf ein insgesamt mangelndes Gefahrenbewusstsein der Verkehrsteilnehmer insbesondere hinsichtlich Geschwindigkeiten und Abständen im Arbeitsstellenbereich. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse führten zur Ableitung von Handlungsfeldern. Das Umsetzungskonzept selbst benennt zunächst Maßnahmen auf der Ebene der Gesamtorganisation (zum Beispiel Erarbeitung von Leitlinien, Definition strategischer Ziele, Schaffung von Rahmenbedingungen und Ressourcen zur Umsetzung). Anschließend werden spezifische Module auf der Ebene von Straßenmeistern und Straßenwärtern, wie zum Beispiel Art und Inhalt der Organisations- und Personalentwicklungsmaßnahmen (OE- und PE-Maßnahmen) sowie der Schulungsmaßnahmen beziehungsweise weitere unterstützende Maßnahmen, aufgeführt. Um den beteiligten Stellen sowohl die Aufwandsschätzung zu erleichtern als auch ein praktisches Vorgehen zu demonstrieren, ist abschließend eine Pilotanwendung skizziert. Dies schließt die Auswahl der Beteiligten, die Ausarbeitung und Erprobung ausgewählter Maßnahmen mit abschließender Evaluierung des Pilotversuches sowie die entsprechende Anpassung/Modifikation des Gesamtkonzeptes nach den Erfahrungen des Pilotprojektes mit ein.
A national initiative from the vehicle manufacturers, safety system suppliers, the road administration and universities in Sweden took off in 2007. The aim was to develop a national investigation network and a methodology focusing on all phases of a crash (pre-crash, in-crash and post-crash) as well as all parts of the road transport system (road user, vehicle and road environment). The initiative is formally run as a project with the acronym INTACT (Investigation Network and Accident Collection Techniques). It was a three year pilot with the aim to develop methodologies for an extended national crash investigation activity. During the first year the INTACT partners agreed on the aim for the investigation and methods for retrieving the data were developed. During the second and third year the methodology was tested in real-world investigations and further refinement was made. The paper describes the methodology developed to obtain high qualitative in-depth road crash data.
The overall purpose of the ASSESS project is to develop a relevant and standardised set of test and assessment methods and associated tools for integrated vehicle safety systems, primarily focussing on currently available pre-crash sensing systems. The first stage of the project was to define casualty relevant accident scenarios so that the test scenarios will be developed based on accident scenarios which currently result in the greatest injury outcome, measured by a combination of casualty severity and casualty frequency. The first analysis stage was completed using data from a range of accident databases, including those which were nationally representative (STATS19, UK and STRADA, SE) and in-depth sources which provided more detailed parameters to characterise the accident scenarios (GIDAS, DE and OTS, UK). A common analysis method was developed in order to compare the data from these different sources, and while the data sets were not completely compatible, the majority of the data was aligned in such a way that allowed a useful comparison to be made. As the ASSESS project focuses on pre-crash sensing systems fitted to passenger cars, the data selected for the analysis was "injury accidents which involved at least one passenger car". The accident data analysis yielded the following ranked list of most relevant accident scenarios: Rank Accident scenario 1 Driving accident - single vehicle loss of control 2 Accidents in longitudinal traffic (same and opposite directions) 3 Accidents with turning vehicle(s) or crossing paths in junctions 4 Accidents involving pedestrians The ranked list highlights the relatively large role played by "accidents in longitudinal traffic", and "accidents with turning vehicle(s) or crossing paths in junctions" (the second and third most prevalent accident scenarios, respectively). The pre-crash systems addressed in ASSESS propose to yield beneficial safety outcomes with specific regard to these accident scenarios. This indicates that the ASSESS project is highly relevant to the current casualty crash problem. In the second stage of the analysis a selection of these accident scenarios were analysed further to define the accident parameters at a more detailed level .This paper describes the analysis approach and results from the first analysis stage.
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.
The main focus of the benefit estimation of advanced safety systems with a warning interface by simulation is on the driver. The driver is the only link between the algorithm of the safety system and the vehicle, which makes the setup of a driver model for such simulations very important. This paper describes an approach for the use of a statistical driver model in simulation. It also gives an outlook on further work on this topic. The build-up process of the model suffices with a distribution of reaction times and a distribution of reaction intensities. Both were combined in different scenarios for every driver. Each scenario has then a specific probability to occur. To use the statistical driver model, every accident scene has to be simulated with each driver scenario (combinations of reaction times and intensities). The results of the simulations are then combined regarding the probabilities to occur, which leads to an overall estimated benefit of the specific system. The model works with one or more equipped participants and delivers a range for the benefit of advanced safety systems with warning interfaces.
A set of recommendations for pan-European transparent and independent road accident investigations has been developed by the SafetyNet project. The aim of these recommendations is to pave the way for future EU scale accident investigation activities by setting out the necessary steps for establishing safety oriented road accident investigations in Member States. This can be seen as the start of the process for establishing road accident investigations throughout Europe which operate according to a common methodology. The recommendations propose a European Safety Oriented Road Accident Investigation Programme which sets out the procedures that need to be put in place to investigate a sample of every day road accidents. They address four sets of issues; institutional addressing the characteristics of the programme; operational describing the conditions under which data isrncollected; data storage and protection; and reports, countermeasures and the dissemination of data.rn
Das Fahrverhalten ändert sich mit zunehmendem Alter. Damit ändern sich auch die Risiken. Neben den jungen Fahranfängern im Alter von 18 bis etwa 25 Jahren stellen Fahrer über 75 Jahre eine besondere Problemgruppe dar. Mit zunehmender Zahl alter Fahrer (demographische Entwicklung plus Zunahme der Fahrerlaubnisinhaber in dieser Altersgruppe) besteht hier in naher Zukunft akuter Handlungsbedarf. Ansatzpunkte gibt es im gesamten Mensch-Maschine-Umwelt-System. Fahrzeuge müssen vermehrt im Hinblick auf alte Fahrer konstruiert und optimiert werden. Die Infrastruktur muss den Bedürfnissen einer eindeutigen Verkehrsführung angepasst werden. Aber nur, wenn der Mensch selbst geeignet ist, als Fahrer am Straßenverkehr teilzunehmen, ist ein Gewinn bei der Verkehrssicherheit zu erwarten. Dies muss gewährleistet werden. Wichtig ist, dass die Problematik der alten Fahrer als solche erkannt wird und schnell eine tragfähige Lösung für die Zukunft gefunden wird.
Ziel der Untersuchung war es, ein standardisiertes Verfahren zur Abschätzung der Auswirkungen von Ortsumgehungen auf die Verkehrssicherheit zu entwickeln. Dieses Verfahren soll den Netzzusammenhang berücksichtigen und eine Bilanzierung der Verkehrssicherheitswirkungen von Ortsumgehungen ermöglichen. Dabei sind auch Umbaumaßnahmen und veränderte Verkehrsregelungen in den Ortsdurchfahrten, sofern diese im Zusammenhang mit der Ortsumgehung realisiert werden, zu berücksichtigen. Damit soll eine verbesserte Entscheidungsgrundlage für die Bewertung von Ortsumgehungen aus Verkehrssicherheitssicht zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Das standardisierte Verfahren wurde anhand von konkreten Beispielen auf seine Aussagegenauigkeit hin überprüft. Hierfür wurden die realen Verkehrssicherheitswirkungen von 21 umgesetzten Ortsumgehungen in einem definierten relevanten Straßennetz erhoben und bilanziert. Bei der Bilanzierung der Verkehrssicherheitswirkungen der 21 Beispiele im Vorher-Nachher-Vergleich zeigte sich, dass die Knotenpunkte im Zuge der Ortsumgehungen wesentlich dazu beitragen, ob der Vorher-Nachher-Vergleich positiv oder negativ ausfällt. Resümierend kann festgehalten werden, dass über das (neue) Berechnungsverfahren die Möglichkeit besteht, die Auswirkungen von Ortsumgehungen auf die Verkehrssicherheit mit relativ geringem Aufwand abzuschätzen, wenn die Verkehrsbelastungen für den Vorher-Fall (ohne Ortsumgehung) und für den Nachher-Fall (mit Ortsumgehung) zur Verfügung stehen. Das Verfahren weist die voraussichtlichen Verkehrssicherheitswirkungen, die durch den Bau einer Ortsumgehung im Straßennetz entstehen, in ihrer Tendenz und den Absolutzahlen genauer aus als das derzeit angewendete Verfahren nach EWS.
This paper gives an overview of the in-depth crash investigation activity conducted by the Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) at the University of Adelaide, in South Australia. Recent changes in method include: an expansion in on-call hours for the crash investigation team, providing the option of a phone interview for crash participants to discuss the crash, and downloading objective crash data from vehicle airbag control modules. These changes have resulted in: increased representativeness of crashes by hour of day; a decrease in the over-representation of fatal crashes in our sample; an increase in the proportion of crashes that involved a pedestrian, bicycle or scooter (moped); an increase in the proportion of crash participants consenting to an interview; and an increase in the objective data available, through airbag control module downloads. Our in-depth crash investigations enabled research into road departures that found barriers were a more feasible solution than clear zones for eliminating serious and fatal injury resulting from run off road crashes.
An analysis of NASS and FARS was conducted to determine crash conditions that involved injuries that are not currently being directly addressed by vehicle safety standards or by consumer information test protocols. Analysis of both field data and US NCAP tests were conducted to determine the relative safety provided by seating position and by vehicle model year. Opportunities for improvements were determined by crash categories with large populations of injuries that were not addressed by safety tests or smaller numbers that were increasing in frequency. Areas of opportunities include improved occupant restrain in rollovers, improved frontal protection for rear seat occupants and improved fire prevention in frontal and rollover crashes.
One of the major problems of road safety in Europe is the powered two wheelers accidents. One of the European countries with one of the highest rates is Portugal where in 2006, mopeds and motorcycles fatalities represented 27% of all road users deaths. In this work, a deep analysis and overview of the current state of mopeds and motorcycles accidents for the 2004-2006 period is presented. Within this period 830 PTW occupants die, 2958 have been severely injured and 25000 suffer slight injuries. A detailed analysis of the conditions of these accidents has been carried out, using the data of the national accident database. This analysis provides global information, about geographic environmental conditions, driver- characteristics among others. From this data detailed information is obtained allowing to know when, where and who. In order to answer the question why more a widely collection of data has been collect for 70 accidents. The data has been collected using OECD methodology. For these accidents a detailed reconstruction has been carried out, what is especially important for fatal accidents where for instance speed in an important factor. From these collection and analysis of data a wider overview of facts and measures are extracted. Among them, some are emphasized such as that the quality and non-use of helmets plays an important role in severe and fatal accidents especially for accidents involving moped vehicles, or speed is the most important factor in fatal accidents involving motorcycles. Concerning motorcycle accident reconstruction, different tools can be used depending of the accident scenario and complexity. For simple cases, with specific characteristics, analytical formulation based in vehicle crash dynamics can be use in order to determine the impact speed of the vehicles impact, analysing the skid marks, deformations, victims rest position and considering parameters (EES, vehicle deceleration, etc). Aspects such as the energy absorption capability of motorcycles are also discussed. In the general cases the accident reconstruction software Pc-Crash has been used for the reconstruction of the accident. In very complex cases, has for instance the impact between motorcyclist and barriers, Madymo software is used especially to determine speed from injuries. An example of the impact of a motorcyclist and a motorcyclist-friendly barrier is present to illustrate the benefits and limitations of such systems.
Accidents involving two wheels vehicles represent one of the more important types of accidents in Europe. These accidents are usually not easy to reconstruct specially for the analysis of the injuries and its correlation with accident dynamics and evidences. Different methodologies are applied in this work for the reconstruction of two wheeler accidents, especially accident involving motorcycles. From the typologies of road evidences like skid marks, to the use of Pc-Crash and the use of Madymo models, different reconstruction of real accidents are presented. One of the questions that sometimes arise for legal purposes when some type of head injuries arise is if the occupant was wearing or not a helmet. The correlation of head injuries with the use of the helmet is a very important issue, therefore an important legal aspect. One of the key questions for the reconstructions that is difficult to analyze, is if the vehicle occupant, was or not, wearing the helmet. Based on the previously collected information, a generic model of a helmet was developed on CAD 3D, followed by its conversion into finite elements, all in order to perform impact tests using the Madymo software that would help improve the helmet- safety, but that also can be used as a tool in accident reconstruction.
Portugal has the highest rate of road fatalities in Europe (2002 and for Eur-15 - CARE database). For this highest rate, the accidents involving pedestrians and motorcycle occupants have a higher contribution than the European average. In the last years, especially accidents involving motorcycles have been investigated and currently two different projects are being carried out, one related with motorcycles accidents and the other with pedestrian accidents. In these projects, countermeasures among others to reduce the fatalities between these two types of road users are being studied. These accidents are investigated with the commercial accident reconstruction software PCCRASH but also new methodologies based on multibody dynamics are in development in order to more accurately study these two types of accidents. In this paper, the methodologies in use for accident reconstruction and new methodologies in development are presented. Speeding his found to be one of the major causes of road fatalities for pedestrians and motorcycle occupants. In the case of motorcycle accidents, these involve mainly young drivers. Aspects as social behavior are also important to understand the causes of some of these accidents. Some examples of accidents occurring in Portugal, involving especially motorcycles and pedestrians are presented and discussed.
Internationally, the need is expressed for harmonized traffic accident data collection (PSN, PENDANT, etc.). Together with this effort of harmonization, traffic accident investigation moves more and more in the direction of accident causation. As current methods only partly address these needs, a new method was set up. The main characteristics of this method are: • Accident/injury causation (associated) factors can objectively be identified and quantified, by comparison with exposure information from a normal population. • All relevant accident and exposure data can be included: human-, vehicle-, and environmental related data for the pre-crash, crash and postcrash situation (the so-called Haddon matrix). The level of detail can be chosen depending on interest and/or budget, which makes the method very flexible. In this paper the accident collection and control group method are presented, including some of the achieved results from a pilot study on 30 truck accidents and 30 control locations. The data were analyzed by using cross-tabulations and classification-tree analysis. The method proved useful for the identification of statistically significant causational aspects.
Validation of human pedestrian models using laboratory data as well as accident reconstruction
(2007)
Human pedestrian models have been developed and improved continually. This paper shows the latest stage in development and validation of the multibody pedestrian model released with MADYMO. The biofidelity of the multibody pedestrian model has been verified using a range of full pedestrian-vehicle impact tests with a large range in body sizes (16 male, 2 female, standing height 160-192cm, weight 53.5-90kg). The simulation results were objectively correlated to experimental data. Overall, the model predicted the measured response well. In particular the head impact locations were accurately predicted, indicated by global correlation scores over 90%. The correlation score for the bumper forces and accelerations of various body parts was lower (47-64%), which was largely attributed to the limited information available on the vehicle contact characteristics (stiffness, damping, deformation). Also, the effects of the large range in published leg fracture tolerances on the predicted risk to leg fracture by the pedestrian model were evaluated and compared with experimental results. The validated mid-size male model was scaled to a range of body sizes, including children and a female. Typical applications for the pedestrian models are trend studies to evaluate vehicle front ends and accident reconstructions. Results obtained in several studies show that the pedestrian models match pedestrian throw distances and impact locations observed in real accidents. Larger sets of well documented cases can be used to further validate the models especially for specific populations as for instance children. In addition, these cases will be needed to evaluate the injury predictive capability of human models. Ongoing developments include a so-called facet pedestrian model with a more accurate geometry description and a more humanlike spine and neck and a full FE model allowing more detailed injury analysis.
Injury severity of e.g. pedestrians or bikers after crashes with cars that are reversing is almost unknown. However, crash victims of these injuries can frequently be seen in emergency departments and account for a large amount of patients every year. The objective of this study is to analyze injury severity of patients that were crashed into by reversing cars. The Hannover Medical School local accident research unit prospectively documented 43,000 road traffic accidents including 234 crashes involving reversing cars. Injury severity including the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) and the maximum abbreviated injury scale (MAIS) was analyzed as well as the location of the accident. As a result 234 accidents were included into this study. Pedestrians were injured in 141 crashes followed by 70 accidents involving bikers. The mean age of all crash victims was 57 -± 23 years. Most injuries took place on straight stretches (n = 81) as well as parking areas (n = 59), entries (n = 36) or crossroads (n = 24). The AIS of the lower extremities was highest followed by the upper extremities. The AIS of the neck was lowest. The mean MAIS was 1.3 -± 0.6. The paper concludes that the lower extremities show the highest risk to become injured during accidents with reversing cars. However, the risk of severe injuries is likely low.
While cyclists and pedestrians are known to be at significant risk for severe injuries when exposed to road traffic accidents (RTAs) involving trucks, little is known about RTA injury risk for truck drivers. The objective of this study is to analyze the injury severity in truck drivers following RTAs. Between 1999 and 2008 the Hannover Medical School Accident Research Unit prospectively documented 43,000 RTAs involving 582 trucks. Injury severity including the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) and the maximum abbreviated injury scale (MAIS) were analyzed. Technical parameters (e.g. delta-v, direction of impact), the location of accident, and its dependency on the road type were also taken into consideration. The results show that the safety of truck drivers is assured by their vehicles, the consequence being that the risk of becoming injured is likely to be low. However, the legs especially are at high risk for severe injuries during RTAs. This probability increases in the instance of a collision with another truck. Nevertheless, in RTAs involving trucks and regular passenger vehicles, the other party is in higher risk of injury.
Traffic accidents were ranked the third among the major causes of death in Thailand. About 13,438 deaths and the death rate from traffic accident was 21.5 per 100,000 of population in 2002. The deaths and death rate varied upon the economic situation. After the economic crisis, traffic accidents were increased as well as the period of the bubble economy. In the Central region of Thailand numbers of road traffic crashes were lower than Bangkok Metropolis, but the highest in the number of deaths, death rate and serious injuries in 2002. Men aged 15"29 years old had higher numbers of deaths than men in other age groups and higher than women. Deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes were the highest in April and January, because there was a long weekend in those months. About 80 percent of road traffic crashes were caused by private car and motorcycle. In 2000 about 51 percent of traffic accidents took place on the straight way, followed by the junction and curves. In 2002, about 97 percent of road traffic crashes were caused by human factors including improper passing, speeding and disregarding to traffic signal, however, the identification of causes of traffic accident needed to improve. Drunk driving, disregarding on safety equipment usage, inefficiency of law enforcement and discontinuing of road safety programs were the deepest causes of traffic accidents. Research based information, a broad coalition of stakeholder and urban planning policy were needed to incorporate for a comprehensive road safety policy formulation and actions.
Pedestrian and cyclist are the most vulnerable road users in traffic crashes. One important aspect of this study was the comparable analysis of the exact impact configuration and the resulting injury patterns of pedestrians and cyclists in view of epidemiology. The secondary aim was assessment of head injury risks and kinematics of adult pedestrian and cyclists in primary and secondary impacts and to correlate the injuries related to physical parameters like HIC value, 3ms linear acceleration, and discuss the technical parameter with injuries observed in real-world accidents based documented real accidents of GIDAS and explains the head injuries by simulated load and impact conditions based on PC-Crash and MADYMO. A subsample of n=402 pedestrians and n=940 bicyclists from GIDAS database, Germany was used for preselection, from which 22 pedestrian and 18 cyclist accidents were selected for reconstruction by initially using PC-Crash to calculate impact conditions, such as vehicle impact velocity, vehicle kinematic sequence and throw out distance. The impact conditions then were employed to identify the initial conditions in simulation of MADYMO reconstruction. The results show that cyclists always suffer lower injury outcomes for the same accident severity. Differences in HIC, head relative impact velocity, 3ms linear contiguous acceleration, maximum angular velocity and acceleration, contact force, throwing distance and head contact timing are shown. The differences of landing conditions in secondary impacts of pedestrians and cyclists are also identified. Injury risk curves were generated by logistic regression model for each predicting physical parameters.
Die als Pilotstudie gedachte Untersuchung stellt einen Versuch dar, aus den komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch, Umwelt und Fahrzeug diejenigen Einflussgrößen zu bestimmen, die das Unfallgeschehen wesentlich und langfristig bestimmen, Umfang und Intensität des Einflusses auf betroffene Verkehrsteilnehmergruppen einzugrenzen und Gesamteffekte abzuschätzen. Die Prognosen beziehen sich im Detail auf Verunglückte und Schwerverunglückte nach Straßenart, Unfallfolgen, Lebensalter und Unfallursachen. Als in besonderer Weise besorgniserregend wird die prognostische Entwicklung der Verunglücktenzahlen beim Kraftrad herausgestellt, wobei eine gravierende Reduktion wegen der Kopplung von hoher Geschwindigkeit, Ungeschütztheit und Risikofreudigkeit ohne unpopuläre, einschneidende Maßnahmen als kaum möglich erachtet wird.
