Probability of a pedestrian surviving a vehicle at 30 km/h
Despite growing awareness, targeted streetscape interventions, and focused enforcement, there are still a lot of traffic incidents close to schools every year that could have been avoided or made less dangerous. Increasing the safety of our children in and around their school environment is a top priority for ourselves. What about for yourselves?
Survival Rate
vs. Speed
It is possible to compare the impact with the hit you receive during a free fall. That free fall increases in height the quicker you drive. For instance, falling from the 3rd floor of a building would be similar to a collision with a solid object at 50 km/h (about 10m drop). Our children have the best chance of surviving an impact at 30 km/h.
A 30km/H zone is best controlled via average speed section control.
How to lower the risk of accidents in a school environment?
- Controlling average speed and other dangerous driving behavior (double parking, overtaking, use of cell phone, etc) to encourage all users to follow the rules.
- Monitoring of temporary restricted traffic zones in which only certain vehicles may drive.
- Management of variable message signs (VMS) alerting road users to the presence of children during specific time periods.
- Monitoring "Kiss & Ride" zones and detecting road users who park too long in these areas.
- Real time "Pedestrian warning system"
- Display meaningful statistics & information raising awareness of the risk of accidents involving children.
