Title:
Variation of Traffic Accidents Volume on Different Phases of Adverse Weather Conditions
Abstract:
Interactions between adverse weather conditions and road traffic accidents are discussed in this paper. The research is based on traffic accidents data during the period 2001-2002 in Vilnius city, Lithuania. The new approach is used to evaluate meteorological phenomena impact on road collision rates. Traffic Accident Volume coefficients are constructed to estimate this impact. Results revealed that adverse weather conditions impact on road accidents vary during different phases of meteorological phenomena. Three different traffic accident volume phases are marked.
