  • Spreading awareness of traffic safety through web application [Elektronski vir]
    Ambrož, Miha, 1974- ; Korinšek, Jernej ; Prebil, Ivan
    Public awareness of the state of traffic safety is of crucial importance on the way towards its improvement. Although the data about incidents and accidents in traffic and their participants have ... been publicly available in Slovenia since 1994, the tabular-only format has until recently prevented the broader public a clear view into the topic. To overcome this shortcoming we have developed a web based application that puts the events from the traffic accident database on an interactive map. The map display is customisable and includes possibility of filtering the data according to user specified criteria. This way it is possible to examine the traffic safety status for an arbitrary area or a particular set of roads or list the accidents matching a particular group of participants. Using the application the broadest public can identify the problems in traffic safety on various levels, from strictly local to nation-wide and pass them to the decision making authorities for consideration.
