In this paper, the authors will show the influence of roadside objects on road safety on the Banja Luka- Prnjavor section. Roadside objects have a major impact on the weight of a traffic accident because they represent direct obstacles to the wandering vehicle, which in most cases will be stopped by a collision in one of them in the immediate vicinity of the road. Roadside objects can be of different types and constructions, concrete poles, public lighting poles, trees, inadequately installed rebound fences and unprotected petrol stations are only some of them. Therefore, the essence of this paper is to spot possible roadside objects on the observed road section, categorize them, and make suggestions for short, medium and long term improvements.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
