Road Traffic Regulations

This involves the detection of foreign substances in the blood and is a major field in forensic science, forensic toxicology. It includes analysis for different medicinal toxins, narcotics, etc. The determination of blood alcohol concentrations takes on particular importance due to road traffic regulations and the social repercussions of alcohol intoxication. 

Where a risk arises from road traffic, a sign prescribed by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 may be used if it is appropriate. 

Except for mines or tips signs used for regulating road traffic are prescribed under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967. 

No-one has suggested that the road traffic regulations should be abolished in favour of a general duty of care the functional enforcement of traffic safety regulation crucial to reduce the risk of fatality and severe trauma on the road is, in fact, supported by most Victorians. 

This means that we are looking for a method for the analysis of functional and operational safety. The normal operation condition for the standard road vehicles and also the basic functions are weU estabhshed. Also the road traffic regulations and the considered coexistence of people with vehicles are world-wide established. They are in small details different, but mayor cornerstones are harmonized such as the Vienna Convention which defines for example, that the driver is responsible to control his vehicle. Due to today s discussion about automated driving or... 

These two cases, and other examples could easily be mentioned from both land and air transport (e.g. operator working times), road traffic regulations, the environment (chemicals, soil emissions), construction and certification of airframes, emphasise consistent cultural traits that create differences between ways of regulating safety in different regions of Europe.

The conveyance of LPG by road is also subject to control via a number of Regulations aimed at potentially hazardous substances. There are the Dangerous Substances (Conveyance by Road in Road Tankers and Tank Containers) Regulations 1981 and the Road Traffic (Carriage of Dangerous Substances in Packages, etc.) Regulations 1986.

The need for a more specific metric to evaluate the impact of road traffic exhaust emissions on the levels of urban aerosols than the currently regulated ones (PM10, PM2.5) is being stated by the scientific community, as a large number of air quality plans, most of them focusing on traffic emission reductions, have been implemented in the last decade, without the subsequent decrease of PM levels in the corresponding cities [31]. 

The reduction of pollutants in automobile exhaust and in industrial waste and stack gases is of major concern in Western Europe. This was fueled in the last years by the extensive forest die-back caused by acid rain. Government policies are to achieve substantial reductions in the emissions of hydrocarbons (HC s), CO, SO2, NOx and particulate matter. Road traffic is one of the major contributors to the man made emissions of HC s, CO and NOx. International and national regulations, legislation and incentives coming into force will substantially reduce these emissions. 

One of the major contributory factors in road accidents is human error (for example violation of speed limits). The type, size and frequency of these human errors depend on the whole road system and traffic regulations, which must be designed in a way to be safe and protective of such human errors. 

By doing this, I rely on earlier studies that indicate accidents caused by a combination of five main dimensions (human-vehicle-environment-road-system). One of the major contributory factors in road accidents is human error. The size of this human error depends on the whole road system and traffic regulations. Rumar (1999) has shown that the major contributory factor in road accidents is the human factor. The results are taken from two in-depth studies and analyses carried out in the UK and USA. Both studies indicate that the hmnan factor (road users), overlapping with other factors, is the major contributory factor in 94/95 % of accidents as shown in Figure 5.6.

This chapter gives the context of this thesis by describing the participants and interactions in road traffic and the genesis of an accident. Accident statistics, safety development process, regulations, and current technical solutions highlight the objective of this thesis.
