Kasislerin Sürücü Hızları Üzerindeki Etkisinin Mobil Hız Kameraları ile Tesbiti ve Bir Anket Uygulaması
Abstract
Kasisler Türkiye’de
özellikle yoğun yaya ve bisikletlilerin bulunduğu güzergâhlarda trafiği
sakinleştirmeye yönelik en fazla kullanılan önlemlerdir. Bu makalede bir
üniversite kampüsü içindeki yol ağında, öğrenci ve personellerin yaşam
kalitesini artırmak amacıyla yapılan trafiği sakinleştirme çalışmalarının örnek
uygulamaları ve sonuçları anlatılmaktadır. Akdeniz Üniversite kampüsü sınırları
içinde 50 km/s hız limitine sahip bir güzergâha kurulan mobil ortalama hız
sistemi yardımı ile kasis uygulamalarının sürücü hızlarına etkisi
değerlendirilmektedir. Mevcut güzergâhta kasis varken kaydedilen sürücü
ortalama hızları, kasis yokken kaydedilen ortalama hızlarla kıyaslanmıştır. Bu
makalede, sürücülerin hız davranışlarını azaltması yönünde etkili olduğu tespit
edilen kasisler hakkındaki sürücü görüşlerinin de araştırıldığı bir çalışma
sunulmaktadır. Her ne kadar sürücü hızları düşmüş olsa da, anket sonuçlarına
göre sürücülerin %50’si kampüs içerisindeki kasis sıklığının fazla olduğunu
düşünmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kampüs yol ağı kullanımında tüm ulaşım türleri
(yaya, bisiklet, toplu taşım, otomobil) arasındaki dağılımında dengeli bir
yaklaşımın geliştirilmesi ve kaza oranlarının düşmesi için sürücülerin yasal hız
limitlerine uyması gerektiğini vurgulanmaktadır.

Determination of the Effects of Speed Bumps on Driver Speeds Via Mobile Cameras and A Survey Application
Abstract
Speed bumps are the most frequently used in
Turkey as precautions for traffic calming at pedestrian and bicycle intensive
sections. In this article, exemplary traffic calming measures applied on the
university campus road network for increasing the quality of life of students
and personnel along with their results have been put forth. The effects of
speed bump applications on driver speeds are evaluated by way of a mobile
average speed enforcement system set up on a section inside the Akdeniz University
campus with a speed limit of 50 km/h. The average speeds recorded at the
current section with the speed bump in place were compared with the average
speeds recorded when there was no speed bump. This article also puts forth a
study in which driver opinions on speed bumps determined to be effective in
decreasing the speeding behavior of drivers have been examined. Even though the
driver speeds decreased, survey results put forth that 50 % of the drivers
think that the frequency of speed bumps in the campus is very high. It is
emphasized in this study that drivers should comply with the legal speed limits
in order to be able to develop a balanced approach with regard to the
distribution between all transportation types (pedestrian, bicycle, public transportation,
automobile) for campus road network use and to be able to decrease rates of
accidents.
