Secondary title: |
Analysis of interchange ramp elements in connection with traffic safety |
Secondary abstract: |
The analyses of safety on motorways and highways repeatedly show that interchanges are less safe than open routes. This thesis aims to prove that in terms of safety, certain construction elements of interchange ramps are in general less safe than others. It argues that raising awareness of the problem and sound design could have a positive impact on traffic safety. The thesis briefly outlines basic forms of interchanges and their essential construction elements. It also describes the method for safety assessment of these elements. On the basis of the results of safety assessment of motorways and highways in Slovenia, the thesis confirms the existence of the problems initially envisaged. The analysis of the elements of interchanges done for the situation in Ljubljana Ring which is also briefly introduced at the beginning of the thesis. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Pri analizah varnosti avtocest in hitrih cest se t.i. prostorska križišča vedno znova izkazujejo za manj varna kot odprta trasa. V tem diplomskem delu smo želeli pokazati, da so v povezavi z varnostjo določene gradbenotehnične sestavine križišč manj varne kot druge in da lahko s poznavanjem te problematike in premišljenim projektiranjem vplivamo na varnost. V diplomskem delu so na kratko predstavljene osnovne oblike prostorskih križišč, njihovi bistveni gradbenotehnični elementi in metoda, s katero smo preverjali varnost elementov. V namen potrditve problematike so izpostavljene ugotovitve analize varnosti avtocest in hitrih cest v Sloveniji, analiza elementov prostorskih križišč pa je narejena na ljubljanskem mestnem obroču, ki je tudi kratko predstavljen. |
