IMPACT OF SHOULDER WIDTH ON TRAFFIC SAFETY IN THAI NGUYEN, VIET NAM
Abstract
In recent years, the system of road transport infrastructure in Vietnam has been developing quite strongly, with strong changes in the direction of modernity. However, the quality of the road network is not sufficient to meet the needs of the dramatic increase in the number of vehicles. The road network is characterized by an unsatisfactory state of the road surface and insufficient technical and operational indicators of highways, which play an important role in ensuring traffic safety.
In the article, based on the data of road traffic accidents in the Thai Nguyen city, the author considered the impact of shoulder width on the safety of vehicles and established the pattern of the influence of shoulder width on the accident rate for the Thai Nguyen city, Vietnam.
