| Summary | Because the etiquette and customs of people are irregular, highway administrations pay a high cost to maintain the cleanliness of roads every year, especially in picking up and sweeping trash. Sweeping and picking up trash or obstacles on the roads are often carried out on busy traffic lanes. If the difference on speed between the picking up process and vehicular stream is too large, we will have an enormous amount of worry regarding traffic safety, especially on highways, due to the heavy traffic and the high speed of vehicles. If the staff of the Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau carelessly hang to the tailstock side to pick up trash on the move, they might fall off into the traffic lane and be injured. Presently, the Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau stipulates that the water boxcar should follow the vehicle to protect from damage when sweeping roads. However, its body is enormous. If the drivers behind the boxcar are neglectful and hit them, the damage could be very serious. Traffic accidents like this are often heard of, so we need to urgently discuss and seek a better solution and countermeasure. To reduce the impact of security concerns, this study has collected overseas roadway cleaning operations, sweeping equipment and the maintenance of transportation and security operations. The cleaning method of roads and the use of a street sweeper are similar overseas and domestically and working speed is not much different. The recommendation in the future is to strengthen the warning work when performing the cleaning operations. |
