  • Investigating the Role of Traffic Volume in The
    Geographia Technica, Vol. 12, Issue 2, 2017, pp 20 to 29 EFFECTS OF TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON ACCIDENTS: THE CASE OF ROMANIA’S NATIONAL ROADS Rodica Dorina CADAR1, Melania Rozalia BOITOR1, Mara DUMITRESCU1 DOI: 10.21163/GT_2017.122.03 ABSTRACT: Every road accident is important. Investigating the road accidents and their causes is the main action to be conducted in the prevention and the prediction stages. The main aim of the paper is to investigate the state-of-the-art regarding road accidents research in Romania, one of the top country in the EU Road Death Statistics. It came out that there is an inconsistent research conducted in the country, with very few studies which were spread across different fields, along with a major lack in accident prediction methods. The study provides a starting point for the accident prediction by validating an international model which could be employed in Romania. The specific goal of the paper is to investigate the impact of the traffic volumes on the accidents occurrence. The traffic data were provided by the National Road Infrastructure Management Company (CNAIR). The road accident data were provided by the Traffic Department of the General Inspectorate of Romanian Police (GIRPTD) and it consisted in the information collected in the field during 2015 on the main national roads in Romania. The database was simplified in accordance to the aim of the paper to include only the relevant details regarding the accident, the vehicles, and the participants. The preliminary analyses were performed using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. The outcome was employed further in the research to highlight the correlation between accidents and the traffic volumes, by means of power regression.

INTRODUCTION June / The quality of the public transport system shall cover at least two aspects: problems experienced by constant 2 users, permanent users, as well as occasional users.

  • State of Play in Romania`S Road Infrastructure – a Comparative Analysis
    State of Play in Romania`s Road Infrastructure – A Comparative Analysis GEORGE CORNEL DUMITRESCU Ph.D., Structural change in the world economy The Institute for World Economy 13th Calea 13 Septembrie, Sector 5, ZIP Code 050711 ROMANIA george.dumitrescu@iem Abstract: Road transport is the most important mode of transportation in the EU, followed by sea and rail. Therefore, the road infrastructure network can be considered the backbone or the primary enabler of trade and mobility in an EU country. This year we celebrate 100 years since the creation of Great Romania, a country in which the cities, towns, villages, and its citizens are still not adequately connected by a modern network or motorways and roads as a symbol of unity. As Ionel I.C. Brătianu used to say ”the roads make a country”. Our paper aims at portraying the state of play in road infrastructure in Romania, as compared to some relevant countries from the Soviet bloc (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland). We based our research on the statistics provided by Eurostat, the OECD, and on the positions of the primary stakeholders. Keywords: carbon emissions, road, transports, accidents, motorways JEL Classification: L92, N70, O18, R4 1. Introduction The beginnings of road transportation on the territory of nowadays Romania are lost in the mists of time. However, the Romans built a good and stable roads network during the reign of Emperor Trajan to enable the conquest and afterwards to better connect Dacia to the empire. The Middle Ages was a ”dark” time for the roads in the Romanian principalities.
