The objective of the project will be to extend and modify the existing methods used to provide night traffic safety analyses. The topic will be based on the use of specialised methods (3D scanning, luminance analysis) to obtain detailed data related to safety and visibility issues of all road users. One of the results of this project will be a detailed model of the night scene based on the information obtained from the luminance analyser and the 3D scanner. The goal is to present a new method of designing virtual environments and to specify the differences and limitations that currently occur in similar studies. At the same time, the main researcher also targets the extension of the knowledge and usability of the methods of luminance analysis for the professional public, as it is more often confronted with general unknown of the issue. The results of the research will improve the state of knowledge in the field of nigh road safety analyses and introduce ways how to model these conditions. The project will serve as the main basis for the doctoral thesis of one of the researchers.

První fázi projektu představuje teoretická příprava na realizaci vlastních nárazových zkoušek. Ta zahrnuje definování požadovaného průběhu konkrétního crashtestu, výběr vhodných vozidel, bezpilotních prostředků a jejich kolizních partnerů a určení osazovaného měřícího vybavení. V této fázi budou studenti seznámeni s principem přípravy nárazových zkoušek a zejména budou komplexně obeznámeni s principem fungování jednotlivých měřících zařízení a náležitostmi jejich osazování. Tato fáze navazuje a rozšiřuje znalosti studentů z výuky a je nezbytnou fází pro následné praktické části projektu. V další fázi dojde k nákupu potřebného vybavení pro realizaci vlastních testů a případnou kalibraci měřících zařízení. Následuje již praktická fáze, a to realizace crashtestů. Studenti budou mít možnost se zapojit v rámci rozličných činností přípravy a realizace počínaje přípravou vozidel, bezpilotních prostředků, kolizních partnerů ale také přípravou a instalací měřících zařízení, resp. přípravou samotné testovací dráhy. Bezprostředně po realizaci nárazové zkoušky budou studenti zapojeni do činností spojenými s monitoringem poškození vozidel, resp. bezpilotních prostředků a jejich kolizních partnerů. To zahrnuje odbornou práci s 3D scanerem či totálními stanicemi. Závěrečnou fázi projektu pak představuje zpracování, vyhodnocení a interpretace naměřených dat v prostředí specializovaných softwarů, který má Ústav soudního znalectví v dopravě k dispozici. Jedná se tedy o komplexní sadu odborných činností, které studenty obohatí v oblasti odborné způsobilosti a připraví je na budoucí činnosti v rámci jejich profesního života.

The solution is based on a methodologically new approach to road accident prediction. This will be based on specific elements identified in the analysis of accident sites (road accident rates, traffic safety deficits) and road passport. In this way, a forecast of the emergence of new accident sites will be made. The purpose is to get them rectified in time. For the effective presentation of results, a map application will be developed, containing the scientific and research results achieved. They may be presented in this form, for example, to road managers. The mapping application will be based on a detailed database containing a comprehensive parametrisation of the road sections concerned, such as traffic intensities or infrastructure design elements, including defects in transport equipment. The database will also contain already identified traffic-safety deficits extracted from the CEBASS web application "Central Register of Road Network Safety Analyses". The project will also serve as the main basis for the principal investigator's dissertation.

The project will primarily be devoted to the creation of a systematic tool for assessing the level of safety at railway crossing points in Czech Republic. The research task presented is both closely related and part of the applicant's dissertation, in which the author aims to implement the use of hierarchically structured data in the framework of transport safety analysis. Knowing that there is currently no comprehensive instrument that summarises and takes into account all relevant criteria affecting the level of safety at railway crossings, an initiative to create such an instrument is developed on the part of the applicant. As a number of interrelated parameters affect safety issues at railway crossings, these parameters will be clearly defined within the framework of the creation of ontology. The topicality of this idea also confirms the ever-decreasing trend in the number of road accidents at railway crossings and the resulting societal losses. At the same time, it is undoubtedly essential to look at the regulation of railway crossings as a precaution, i.e. to try to prevent accidents even at those railway crossings which do not currently show an accident, but which nevertheless appear to be risky in terms of traffic or construction arrangements or markings.

The project aims to create a catalogue of restraint systems on the primary road network in the Czech Republic. Nowadays, the safety deficits of restraint systems are classified by a three-stage scale that is defined by the methodology certified by Ministry of Transport. The specification and description of the individual stages is very general. Thus, the determination of different severity for the same types of deficits is problematic and unsystematic, when assessed by individual road safety auditors. Furthermore, it is not possible to decide objectively and efficiently on the priority of individual corrective measures based on this type of assessment. The proposed catalogue will contain all types of restraint systems, their design parameters and photo documentation. Main aim is to summarise and cover all necessary information related to particular restrains systems along the selected roads. The catalogue will form a base for the dissertation thesis of the supervisor of submitted project and it closely relates to the issues of safety inspection of the road network. Additionally, the catalogue of restraint systems will not be used only for the purposes of the dissertation thesis, but it will also be applied within the current research projects at the Institute of Forensic Expertise in Transport, which, among many other activities, also deals with road security.

The project focuses on the development of innovative method to detect, prove and eliminate crime-related activities within the road transport by utilization of modern equipment and latest development in measurements of dynamic characteristics. The proposed method is based on accident data retrieved from the on-board units of colliding vehicles and on its subsequent analysis. To verify the proposed method one hundred traffic accidents will be analyzed and 12 crash tests will be performed.

High number of traffic accidents is an all-society problem. The accident rate in our country and the number of fatalities have statistically decreasing tendency. Nevertheless the number of traffic accidents is still high. The further reduction can´t be done without the detail analysis of the concrete traffic accidents and the critical accident places. The project is aimed on analysis of the range of vision ratios in places with high accident rate or in potentialy dangerous places, generation of threedimensional models, matematical simulations of accident situations and finding a way to reducing of accident situation occurance probability. The project connects to my thesis "Transport safety research" and to the final works of the other team members. The project also connects to other research activities of the K622 department. The problems of the abstracted project closely relate for example with the dynamic movement of the vehicles. Our department is also doing research in this spere.
