Journal Title: Scientific Journals of Silesian University of Technology. Series Transport - Year 2014, Vol 2014, Issue 82
Abstract
Unfortunately road accidents and collisions occur very frequently. Depending on the season, time of a day or weather conditions their frequency varies. The authors of this paper analysed root causes and impact of the road accidents and collisions that occurred in recent months i.e. in the period from 1st January to 30th June 2013 on the roads and at the crossroads in the City of Nowy Sącz. Based on data provided by the State Police Headquarters in Nowy Sącz, a graphical representation was developed to show frequency of road incidents and a comparison was made with the previous years. The root causes and impact of road incidents were also identified.
