Description
Summary:This study analyses incidents on the D1 motorway over the period 2015–2023, with a focus on improving towing operations processes. The analysis includes a breakdown of incidents by type (accidents, technical failures), injuries and deaths, and considers seasonal variations and traffic conditions. The data show that traffic accidents account for most incidents, especially in sections with heavy traffic and difficult weather conditions. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of incidents in 2018 and 2019, while 2020 brings a temporary decrease due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is part of a long-term project aimed at optimizing and standardizing the processes of extrication and towing activities, with the aim of streamlining interventions, minimizing traffic complications and ensuring rapid traffic recovery on key roads. Subsequent steps will focus on designing new standards for towing interventions and improving current protocols.
