Innovation in the ICT Infrastructure as a Key Factor in Enhancing Road Safety: A Multi-sectoral Approach

The ITSs (Intelligent Transportation Systems) are part of the ICT infrastructure and are built taking into account numerous legal and organisational conditions and individual needs of the users. They are the answer for wide requirements due to implementation of innovations in road transport. The primary objective of using ITSs is to improve the efficiency of traffic and traffic safety. The aim of this paper is to present a technical approach aiming to model the impact of environmental conditions such as urban traffic, visibility, other weather conditions and road conditions on road traffic safety, using the fuzzy logic and trying to explain also the economic and legal determinants of road safety as "non technical" parts.
