For this purpose, the accident rate of each section is to be defined and has to be compared to typical accident rates and those of the preceding years.

All accidents are are presented in an accident map which eases the detection of hot spots. These are then analyzed specifically by accident causes and types, as well as the parties involved. Incidents involving trucks and motorcycles are regarded separately.
