Abstract

Trafik kazaları, tüm yaş grupları için ölüm nedenleri listesinin ilk sıralarında yer almaktadır. Yıllık olarak dünya genelinde yaklaşık 1,35 milyon ölümlü trafik kazası kaynaklı olay meydana gelmektedir. Uzmanlar bir yol kesiminin risk düzeyini değerlendirmek amacıyla, sıklıkla Reaktif Yaklaşım (ReY) tabanlı metotlar kullanmaktadır. ReY, kazaların oluşmasını bekleyen ve ardından kaza verilerini analiz ederek önlemler öneren bir yaklaşım olup, bu yöntem için yeterli verinin toplanması gereken süre uzun olabilir. Diğer taraftan, Proaktif Yaklaşımlar (ProY) ise trafik akışı içindeki taşıtların risk potansiyeli olan hareketleri incelenmekte ve bu hareketlerin analizinden elde edilen vekil güvenlik ölçütleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım sayesinde, risk analizi için gereken süre önemli ölçüde kısalmaktadır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Karayolu Trafik Güvenliği Strateji Belgesinde trafik kazası kaynaklı ölümlerin 2030 yılına kadar %50 azaltılması hedeflenmektedir. Mevcut karayolu risk değerlendirmesi için kullanılan ReY yöntemlerinin eksik veri kaynaklı yavaş kalabileceği ve belirtilen hedefe zamanında ulaşılamayabileceği göz önüne alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Dünya genelinde kullanılan ProY yöntemleri hakkında bilgi sunmak ve Türkiye karayolları için ProY’un risk değerlendirme görevlerinde kullanılmasının tartışılmasıdır. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle mevcut ReY yöntemleri açıklanmış ve ardından ProY yöntemleri ile ilgili bilgilere odaklanılmıştır. Son olarak ProY örnekleri ele alınarak ülkemizde uygulama potansiyeli taşıyan uygulamalardan söz edilmiştir.

Proactive Traffic Accident Risk Assessment Approach and Discussion of its Applicability for Türkiye

Abstract

Traffic accidents rank among the top causes of death across all age groups. Annually, approximately 1.35 million fatal traffic accidents occur worldwide. To assess the risk level of a road section, experts often use Reactive Approaches (ReA) based on methods that anticipate accidents and then recommend measures by analyzing accident data. However, this approach can require a long time to collect sufficient data. On the other hand, Proactive Approaches (ProA) examine potentially hazardous movements of vehicles within traffic flow and utilize surrogate safety measures derived from the analysis of these movements. This approach significantly shortens the time required for risk analysis. The Republic of Turkey's Road Traffic Safety Strategy Document aims to reduce traffic accident-related fatalities by 50% by 2030. It should be considered that the ReA methods currently used for road risk assessment might be slow due to insufficient data, potentially hindering the timely achievement of this goal. The main objective of this study is to provide information about globally employed ProA methods and discuss their application in risk assessment tasks for Turkish highways. In this context, existing ReA methods are first explained, followed by a focus on ProA methods. Finally, ProA examples are discussed, highlighting potential applications in Turkey.
