Road accidents are accumulated in certain spots of the nation-
wide network of public roads, due to reasons that cannot be
foreseen in some cases. Identifying the spaces of accumulation
(black spots), discovering and eliminating the reasons that
generate these black spots, or in short, managing black spots
forms and important part of public road safety activities. The
management of black spots may be promoted by computerised
processes. The lecture described the research and development
activities pursued by the authors in this field and the
software elaborated as a result of this, which finds probable
black spots by a special procedure using a “data mining”
process. Users can proficiently and quickly identify the causes
of accidents taking place in identified black spots and the
method of efficient intervention using engineering methods and
analyses. The work may be assisted by the “expert system”,
development of which started only recently.
The lecture describes the system structure and presents the
operation of the programme produced to date.
