WELCOME!

This portal is a module of an integrated information system for street safety measures, under the project “B-TEN – Improved nodes Giurgiu-Byala for better connection to TEN-T infrastructure”, funded by the program “INTERREG V-A ROMANIA – BULGARIA”. Here you can view the road accidents that have occurred in Giurgiu County in the last five years in an interactive form – as a digital dynamic map, which is a readable and easy to understand by users can identify the areas in which these accidents are. accumulated ”for certain reasons. These locations are called “blackspots” – black spots where accidents are more frequent than the average statistical levels for the road infrastructure of Giurgiu County.
In road safety management, a blackspot is a place where road accidents are more frequent. Most often this happens for various reasons, such as abrupt change of the longitudinal or transverse slope of the road, the inclusion of a road so that the traffic on the main road is hidden, bad or hidden warning signs at an intersection or inadequate marking to regulate the road. the possibilities for overtaking.
For some time, measures to reduce these accidents by placing additional markings, speed limits, improving lines of sight, straightening turns or installing speed cameras has been a key element of road safety policy, but current expert assessments are, that the benefits of these interventions are often exaggerated. In some cases, it is even claimed that the result is an increase in the total number of victims.
Most of these measures often have a limited effect or are too late – incidents continue to occur there, which most likely means that the countermeasures implemented have not been entirely successful.

The main goal of this project is to map the registered road accidents, to analyze the existing ones and to predict the occurrence (due to the changed road conditions) of blackspot locations in the road sections (or near them), planned for rehabilitation in Giurgiu district. The mapping and analysis of these conditions will support the planning and implementation of incidents to reduce incidents in these locations and will help increase the safety of people and goods in these areas.
