Összefoglalás.

A közlekedési balesetekben sérült személyek, valamint a baleset miatti anyagi
károk jelentős mértékű társadalmi-gazdasági veszteségértéket képviselnek.
Kutatásommal célom a közlekedés biztonságosabbá tételéhez szükséges
kulcsterületek feltárása és a lehetséges potenciális beavatkozási területek
meghatározása volt. Munkám során a 2016–2020 közötti közlekedési balesetek
adatait elemeztem leíró statisztikai módszerrel. Megállapítottam, hogy a
leginkább kritikus pont a gyalogosok közlekedése. Azokban a balesetekben, ahol
volt gyalogos sérült, a balesetek két okcsoportja dominál: gyalogosok hibája
(34,3%), valamint a járművezetők gyalogosok részére történő elsőbbségadásának
elmaradása (38,1%). Az eredmények lehetőséget adnak a további célirányos
vizsgálatokra, valamint a hatékony beavatkozásokra.

Summary.

Transport is an essential part of everybody lives. The aim of transport users is
to make their journeys without accidents in the shortest possible time, while
optimising their individual resources and inputs. The number of people injured
in road traffic accidents with personal injury and the material damage caused by
a significant socio-economic loss. By preventing accidents, it is clear that the
costs and resources spent on road accidents can be reduced. Therefore, I started
my research by determining the share of road user groups in the number of
accidents, the number of people injured and the amount of economic loss value
associated with accidents. I analysed road accidents between 2016 and 2020. By
the accident analysis, I found that among vulnerable road users, the proportion
of pedestrians and cyclists injured was extremely high. Injuries in these two
transport modes accounted for more than half of the injuries in cars. By
calculating the loss value, I found that the damage to the national economy
caused by pedestrian injuries was significant. In my research, by analysing the
causes of accidents, I found that in accidents where there was a pedestrian
injured, two groups of causes dominate: pedestrian error (34.3%) and drivers not
giving priority to pedestrians (38.1%). Examining the accident data, it was
evident that the number of pedestrian accidents due to pedestrian error is very
high, so I continued my research in the area of other activities of pedestrians
while walking. I measured pedestrians in 10 locations in Budapest. During the
measurements, I recorded and analysed data of 11536 persons. The average rate of
distraction was 54.3%, which means that one in two pedestrians is doing some
other activity while walking. The most frequent activity was talking to another
pedestrian (29.8%), but phone use (15.7%) and head/earphone use (13.5%) were
also very significant. My research results so far show that if we want to
improve pedestrian safety, we need to reduce accidents caused by pedestrians’
own fault and increase drivers’ willingness to give priority to pedestrians. My
research plans also include investigating ways to reduce pedestrian errors,
increasing pedestrian awareness and examining pedestrian-driver interactions in
more depth. I already have results in this area, but my aim is to identify
target areas (including human, infrastructure, vehicle field) for my research
that can be implemented in practice, thus helping to improve pedestrian safety
and road safety.
