Varhelyi, Andras LU ; Strnad, Bernd ; Temmerman, Philip ; Kuppels, Ludo and Daniels, stijn (2020) p.1-9
Abstract
Accidents nearby work zones are a persistent road safety problem in many European countries. The Conference
of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) has initiated and finances the IRIS project (Incursion Reduction to
Increase Safety in road work zones) with the aim to collect and share information about best practices in temporary
traffic management at road works. An analysis of work zone accidents and a review of best practices were made.
Psychological issues to improve safety at work zones were studied by a literature review. Interviews with
stakeholders were carried out in eight European countries to gather information on guidelines, standards and
procedures in temporary traffic management. Best practice findings... (More)

Psychological issues to improve safety at work zones were studied by a literature review. Interviews with
stakeholders were carried out in eight European countries to gather information on guidelines, standards and
procedures in temporary traffic management. Best practice findings cover organizational/management issues,
work zone safety reviews, establishment/de-establishment of a road work zone, informing/warning and guiding
road users through work zone areas, speed management, protecting devices for road workers’ and road users’
safety and incursion warning systems. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Olyckor vid vägarbetszoner är ett ihållande trafiksäkerhetsproblem i många europeiska länder. IRIS-projektet (Incursion Reduction to Increase Safety in road work zones) finansierat av CEDR samlade in information om bästa praxis inom trafikledning vid vägarbetsplatser. En analys av olyckor i arbetszonen och en översyn av bästa praxis gjordes. Psykologiska problem för att förbättra säkerheten i arbetszoner studerades genom en litteraturöversikt. Intervjuer med intressenter genomfördes i åtta europeiska länder för att samla information om riktlinjer, standarder och rutiner inom trafikledning. Resultat om bästa praxis täcker organisatoriska- / ledningsfrågor, säkerhetsgranskningar för arbetszoner, inrättande / avinstallation av en... (More)
