Coherence analysis of road safe speed and driving behaviour from floating car data

In the Intelligent Transportation Systems, integration of different components of the classical driver-vehicleinfrastructure system is supported by advances in technology and communications. This study presents a general road safety analysis framework that exploits different types of data on traffic, geometry, and accidents to develop a Road Safety Analysis Center and an on-board Road Safety Driver Advisory. The Road Safety Analysis Center considers different sources of data: accident inventories, road geometry, and floating car data, which reveal drivers' behavior.

Exploring temporal and spatial structure of urban road accidents. Some empirical evidences from Rome

One of the measures that can reduce the negative effects of road accidents is the quick arrive of emergency vehicles to the accident area. This measure requires an effective location in space and on time of these vehicles. This location can be decided after an analysis of the available data in order to find the spatial and temporal characteristics of road accidents. The study presented in this paper uses time series accident data of the 15 districts of Rome Municipality, collected in four months in 2016.
