In the area of traffic safety, reducing urban traffic speed is an important question. Does street "morphology" influence drivers enough to cause a significant reduction of speed within the urban milieu? Based upon different behavioral theories and models, the present article analyses these influences and their implications. For this purpose, several Parisian districts {arrondissements) were selected and divided into basic street sections taken to be "morphologicaly homogeneous". Each section was then classified, through a significant number of morphological variables on the one hand, and theough average traffic speed on the other (the speed was calculated by identifying moving vehicles from aerial photographs taken at six second intervals). The "Correspondence Analysis" method was then applied to the street section sample, which appeared to be very structured. We have interpreted this structure as a series of statistical links between traffic speed and several of the above-mentionned morphological variables. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
