Application of Crash Prediction Models for Roundabouts in the City of Zagreb

For the past decade the common construction of roundabouts in Croatia resulted in multiple benefits, of which the most important are traffic safety and capacity. Encouraged by the use and construction practices of the neighbouring countries, the designers and scientists have neglected their own studies in actual situations and environment. In order to bring the design elements of roundabouts to optimum traffic safety and capacity, crash prediction models are widely used in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. This paper presents two crash prediction methods which are used in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. These two methods will be applied and analyzed on the roundabouts located in the urban and suburban areas of the City of Zagreb. The research results should be used, among other things, for the selection method that would be used for crash prediction on roundabouts in Croatia.
