Abstract

Every day we strive to improve the environment and make it as comfortable as possible, creating new products and new technologies that are literally changing people’s lives. Transport is one of the most important engines of development in the world and, unfortunately, it is one of the most painful taking into account how many people’s lives we are losing in it. Ensuring safe traffic, stabilizing a number of accidents, reducing accidents on motor roads and streets are the most important tasks in the field of transport in Lithuania and the EU today. Lithuania could not be left behind when the EU countries pursued an important goal of halving the number of fatalities by the end of 2010 compared to 2001. Substantial road accident rates are recorded in cities with the highest concentration of road users. The aim of this article is to identify the typical accidents for Lithuanian cities and to compare them with the case of Sweden, which is one of the leading countries in the field of traffic safety. The five largest cities in Lithuania been selected for the analysis, where typical traffic accidents are identified. The analysis will help develop recommendations for changes in traffic infrastructure to ensure safe traffic.

立陶宛与瑞典典型交通事故比较

我们每天都在努力改善环境，使其尽可能舒适，创造新产品和新技术，真正改变人们的生活。交通运输是世界上最重要的发展引擎之一，不幸的是，考虑到我们在其中失去了多少人的生命，它也是最痛苦的引擎之一。确保交通安全，稳定事故数量，减少机动车道路和街道上的事故是当今立陶宛和欧盟交通领域最重要的任务。当欧盟国家追求到2010年底将死亡人数与2001年相比减半的重要目标时，立陶宛不能落在后面。在道路使用者最集中的城市，道路事故率很高。本文的目的是找出立陶宛城市的典型事故，并将其与交通安全领域的领先国家之一瑞典的情况进行比较。立陶宛五个最大的城市被选中进行分析，在这些城市中确定了典型的交通事故。该分析将有助于制定交通基础设施改革建议，以确保交通安全。
