Taking this into account, it is necessary to create models for determining risk and to act preventively based on these models; this is of great importance both to society and science. In this paper, six measuring sections of a road network are considered on the basis of eight geometric-exploitation road parameters, taking into account the data for light goods vehicles. An original methodology is proposed for identifying risk levels of road sections through their evaluation. For identifying risk levels, the Dombi Logarithmic Methodology of Additive Weights (D\u2019LMAW) was used, which was combined with the Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method. Statistical indicators were processed using a hybrid methodology based on the application of rough numbers and Dombi\u2013Bonferroni functions. The performance of the presented methodology was verified on a real-world example, processing the statistical parameters of six two-lane road sections, with the sixth measuring section showing the best performance, since it had the minimum risk. Research has shown that measuring sections with increasing longitudinal gradients are safer. The analysis of measuring sections from fall to rise reduces the deviation of speeds from the speed limit on the roads. The effectiveness, rationality, and robustness of the solution of the proposed methodology was confirmed through a sensitivity analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13071271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,15]],"date-time":"2021-07-15T09:32:07Z","timestamp":1626341527000},"page":"1271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Development of a New Risk Assessment Methodology for Light Goods Vehicles on Two-Lane Road Sections"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Marko","family":"Suboti\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of East Sarajevo, Vojvode Mi\u0161i\u0107a 52, 74000 Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Veljko","family":"Radi\u010devi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy of Technical and Art Applied Studies Belgrade, Department School of Railroad Transport of Applied Studies in Belgrade, Zdravka Celara 14, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zoran","family":"Pavlovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy of Technical and Art Applied Studies Belgrade, Department School of Railroad Transport of Applied Studies in Belgrade, Zdravka Celara 14, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7419-8695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Goran","family":"\u0106irovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Trg Dositeja Obradovi\u0107a 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.7708\/ijtte.2020.10(1).10","article-title":"Analysis of speed on rural state roads\u2014valley routes","volume":"10","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int.
