“…Considering best practices, or rather studies concluded up to date, scientific and professional papers (Al-Haji 2007;Hermans et al 2008Hermans et al , 2009aTraynor 2009;Zhang et al 2010;Wegman, Oppe 2010;Gitelman et al 2010), as well as so far used methodologies in Serbia (TSL and ROSA methods), the authors of this paper suggest forming a new, so called independent, general method for evaluating traffic safety levels. The new method would, in addition to rank, in the cases of defining traffic safety levels for a group of territories, define a numerical value, which would realistically describe the state of traffic safety.…”

“…Those methods were very helpful for the road safety assessment. Al-Haji (2007) summarized four stages for generation of road safety benchmarking models: the first generation compares countries' road safety performance in terms of risk and exposure, the second generation is similar to the first one except using the time, the third generation uses integration between accident consequence rates and other indicators (i.e. strategies) and the fourth generation focuses on the three types of benchmarking: Product, Practices and Strategic Benchmarking.…”

“…According to that, a road safety footprint can be described as a representation of its own road safety status, which is a multiple score of standardized key indicators (Morsink et al 2009). Al-Haji (2007) in his doctors dissertation among other things thoroughly analyses the degree of motorization, traffic and public risk, as well as trends of the degree of motorization, traffic and public risks and the ability of grading the state of traffic safety. He also emphasizes that it is necessary to establish and separate those indicators that represent the current traffic safety development.…”

Evaluation, monitoring and comparison of traffic safety in various territories presents a major challenge to the traffic safety researches. Recently a large number of studies are focused on finding an appropriate method for the calculation of the traffic safety level which uses a single numerical value for its assessment. For that purpose, traffic safety indicators are combined into a single numerical value by appropriate techniques in order to represent a grade of the traffic safety level. This paper contains, after the summary of contemporary tendencies in the evaluation of traffic safety levels, the analysis of methods used in the evaluation of traffic safety levels so far in Serbia with the emphasis on their values and deficiencies. Considering those analyses, this paper introduces a new method for traffic safety level evaluation the so called Benchmarked Traffic Safety Level (BTSL). BTSL implies selection of appropriate indicators, transformation of chosen indicators, assigning weights and aggregation. The proposed scale appliance enables traffic safety level to define for the territory, and also compares it with a similar one. BTSL provides a single numerical value so that to evaluate the traffic safety level for the territory, derived from the aggregation of previously transformed and 'weighted' three outcomes indicators and three safety performance indicators.

“…To ensure road safety and reduce road accidents, it is necessary to determine the scope of organizing the movement of vehicles and pedestrians and improving road conditions. This area of activity contains significant potential for streamlining the movement of road users and, as a result, improving road safety and includes: maintaining the transport and operational characteristics of highways and city road networks; possible timely response to adverse climatic factors; speed optimization; distribution of traffic flows along suburban and urban roads; application of regulatory regimes at intersections of streets and roads that ensure safe movement in these places with minimal delays; installation of technical means of regulation that are clearly and unambiguously perceived by traffic participants; expanding the implementation of automated traffic control systems [8].…”

The review article is devoted to the issues of ensuring road safety. The work examines the main causes of road accidents. The work of technical means of ensuring traffic flows, such as traffic lights and road construction, is analyzed. The specifics of the organization of traffic in densely built urban environments are considered, which directly affects the safety of the transport process. An analysis of the factors influencing the provision of comfortable working conditions for drivers, ensuring their maximum concentration during the trip, was carried out. The means of maintaining the necessary microclimate in a vehicle and protecting drivers are described.

A strong monitoring system of road safety in a city is necessary to ensure that the strategies implemented will meet stated targets at city and national levels. Although road safety performance is a result of many key indicators, only a few of these indicators are generally considered in monitoring the performance of road safety in a city and in comparison to other cities. A number of monitoring systems are already being developed and used in road safety and they range from relatively simple models to highly complex ones depending on the number of indicators involved, details of data and complexity of methods used in calculations and analysis. In road safety, there are three main types of monitoring that are generally used, which are: Process Monitoring, Outcome Monitoring and Target Monitoring. The aim of this paper is to provide the importance and usefulness of having a fourth type of monitoring, so-called Integrated Monitoring, that links process, outcome and targets together. The paper also provides a conceptual overview, and illustrations that are used in the construction of the integrated monitoring system.
