Lane change coordination

Goals:
1. Maintain desired speeds
2. Minimize lane changes
3. Increase throughput

Related terminologies:
Road Safety - reduced risk of
accident or injury on the roads,
achieved through
multidisciplinary approaches
involving road engineering and
traffic management, education
and training of road users, and
vehicle design.
Road Safety
Human Errors
1. going too fast or excessive
speed;
2. failing to give at junctions;
3. following too closely;
4. overtaking improperly;
5. misperceiving or misjudging
the road situation ahead;
6. intoxication of alcohol or drug;
and
7. lack of skill.
Road Conditions

1. poor design of layout and

control at junctions;
2. inadequate signing, road
marking, and lighting;
3. slippery roads; and
4. obstructions on the road such
as parked vehicle, on going
road construction, etc.
Motor Vehicle Factors

lights;
2. absence or non-using of seat
belts; and

 The study of biorhythm is
considered an important aspect of traffic
safety because an individual can avoid
accident by hinting on how he will tend
to feel in a certain day. Biorhythm
means -

- Roughly periodic changes in the

behavior or physiology of
an organism that is maintained
and generated by a biological
clock.
