“…In addition to some of the above studies, researches to see the effect of roadside hazards on the fatality rate of casualty victims have been done since a long time ago. In general, these studies conclude that roadside hazard conditions such as trees and others can aggravate the fatalities of traffic accidents [35,38].…”

Planning, Designing and constructing road infrastructure should give priority to the safety and comfort for road users. Ironically, road infrastructure often becomes the cause of traffic accidents. However, such problem can be solved with a profound understanding in the effect of road infrastructure formation elements on the risk of accidents, so that the handling taken can be more efficient. This study aims to (1) review and see the effect of road infrastructure on accidents, (2) provide handling efforts to improve road infrastructure safety. Secondary sources in the form of books and academic journals were reviewed to answer the research objectives above. The results of the study indicated that the elements in road infrastructure formation had significant effect on the risk of traffic accident. Preventing and handling traffic accidents in terms of the road infrastructure can start from planning, designing, constructing, and improving road infrastructure in accordance with prevailing procedures such as Road Safety Audit (RSA) and Road Safety Inspection (RSI). The role of government such as making safety design standard, assuring compliance with these rules, and methods to measure and rate the overall level of safety being achieved is needed in order to improve road safety.

“…The goal of this study is to introduce and demonstrate vehicle dynamic simulations as a new tool to study vehicleroadway interaction with the goal to improve vehicle and roadway safety. Unlike many safety studies dealing with roadway geometry that utilize crash statistics to evaluate design choices, simulation software allows the highway engineer to perform accident free "what-if" studies on possible roadway designs, and justify the final design choices using quantitative and qualitative metrics specifically focused on vehicle safety [7][8][9][10].…”

Safety is a crucial consideration in the design of roadways, yet formal tools to study roadway safety prior to construction are often quite limited. As a possible new tool, this work investigates the iterative use of vehicle dynamic simulations to study vehicle-roadway interaction in order to optimize highway design for safety. Following a discussion of the history and accuracy of vehicle dynamic simulations, a methodology of roadway geometry analysis is presented. This methodology is demonstrated by an example scenario studying the safety of a depressed median of a rural highway when there is an in-median incursion. The vehicle type, vehicle speed, vehicle trajectory, and the driver’s corrective maneuvers are all varied in a simulation-based analysis to evaluate their respective effects on vehicle behavior including vehicle orientation, trajectory, and instabilities.
