A review of the rules and practices concerning the safe distance between two vehicles on roads was performed in 2007 and 2008 by members of CEDR’s TG Road Safety.
Member states were asked to answer the following questions:
- Is there a regulation that governs the safe distance between vehicles in your country?
- If so, what are the rules (e.g. leave at least 2 seconds following distance to the vehicle in front)?
Have you experienced any problems enforcing these rules?

Un recensement de la littérature sur les bandes rugueuses a été réalisé en 2007 par le groupe technique “Sécurité Routière”.
Des réponses aux questions suivantes furent demandées aux Etats Membres:
Votre pays dispose-t-il d’expériences en matière de bandes rugueuses (bandes rugueuses bruyantes le long des routes afin de prévenir des automobilistes assoupis ou distraits)?
Quelles sont les principales sources d’informations en ce qui c ...[more] |

TYROSAFE D06 - Report on policies and standards concerning skid resistance, rolling resistance and noise emissions

Increasing traffic and decreasing resources demand sustainable management of road traffic infrastructure. To assure nationwide or even EU-wide uniform levels of certain road surface parameters, policies have been issued that set limits on the levels of these parameters: upper limits (in the case of noise) or lower limits (in the case of skid resistance). To achieve these levels, different strategies have been developed – and these strategies differ throughout Europe and can even vary withi ...[more] |

A review of literature on rumble strips was performed in 2007 by the members of CEDR’s TG Road Safety.
Member states were asked to answer the following questions:
Does your country have any experience with rumble strips (noisy strips along the road to warn drowsy or inattentive drivers)?
What is the main source of information on rumble strips in the context of their impact on road safety, technology, efficiency, cost etc.?
This paper sums up the answers received f ...[more] |

This deliverable report describes the TYROSAFE webpage, which has been online since the project start. It performs the essential functions of:
• Dissemination tool
• Internal coordination and networking platform
• Workspace for the project partners
• Information resource
• Discussion forum
For this reason it is a key tool for work package 5 dealing with raising the awareness of the
project topics and disseminating the project results and activities. This repo ...[more] |

TYROSAFE D05 - Report on analysis and findings of previous skid resistance harmonisation research projects

It is widely accepted that poor skid resistance on road surfaces is related to an increased risk
of accidents, especially in wet conditions. If a more consistent approach to skid resistance
policies is to be encouraged across Europe, then greater consistency of measurement is also
needed, which might be achieved by harmonising the various techniques currently used in
different countries. Also, some form of harmonisation is needed to meet the requirements of
CEN for future work on test metho ...[more] |

There are many locations with occurrence of accidents in the Czech Republic and we can notice unreasonable numbers of casualties and damage to health or property there. Thorough analysis of statistic data from PÈR (Czech police) made by Centrum dopravního výzkumu, v. v. i. (Transport Research Centre - public research institution) can confirm this phenomenon.
Due to the current economic situation in the Czech Republic it is not possible to ensure efficient traffic surveillance only by means of ...[more] |

The project TYROSAFE (Tyre and Road surface Optimisation for Skid resistance And Further Effects) is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Seventh Framework Programme. The project is addressing the lack of awareness of the importance and contribution of skid resistance to safety, the lack of harmonised systems for comparing skid resistance (even within member states), and the concern over conflicts with other important characteristics of road surfaces. The project, which began ...[more] |

The TYROSAFE Project is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) in the Seventh EU Framework Programme and aims at coordinating and preparing for European harmonisation and optimisation of the assessment and management of essential tyre/road interaction
parameters to increase safety and support the greening of European road transport.
Work Package 2 (of four technical work packages) focussed on the harmonisation of skid resistance measurement techniques. Its ultimate objective was to arrive a ...[more] |

In April 2007, Centrum dopravního výzkumu, v.v.i. was appointed to
coordinate a project CONGMAN – Effective traffic flow management of congestions on
motorways and dual carriageways with the use of ITS. The project is assigned by the
Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic as a R&D project. In the first stage of the
project, the research team (CDV, Brno University of Technology, and HIT Hofman
s.r.o.) has developed an intelligent transport system for effective traffic flow
