Abstract
During the last five years video-techniques for the unobtrusive observation and analysis of roaduser behaviour have been widely used. Especially for the evaluation of counter-measures or new road design elements the analysis of roaduser behaviour may be very helpful in understanding the functioning of the traffic process in relation with local characteristics. In this context our research is not restricted to the rare events like accidents and serious conflicts; also other behavioural aspects like speed, speed changes, path chosen, place of stopping, etc. are taken into consideration. After a short description of the method some applications with respect to interactions between roadusers will be discussed.
