Objectives of research
Main objectives:
The overall objective of the project is the formulation of safety arguments for selecting certain design elements or for recommending certain dimensions. Main output of SAFESTAR will be recommendations for design guidelines or possible standards on the basis of road safety considerations. SAFESTAR will concentrate on roads that can be part of the TERN network, i.e. primarily motorways, express roads and major interurban roads. In addition, some attention will be devoted to urban conditions.
