| Abstract [eng] |
Despite the significant decrease of overall number of road traffic accidents in Lithuania, weather related accidents are still remaining a challenge for road safety. The original methodology was adjusted to evaluate potential impact of adverse weather on traffic accidents frequency. The research focused on the two main roads in Lithuania during 2017 2019 period. The results proved that the frequency of the traffic accidents increase during adverse weather events and not ideal road surface conditions. The recurrence of accidents reached the highest number on icy and snowy roads. |
