Abstract

The authors of this paper focus on the simulation of the motor vehicle movement (taking into consideration motor vehicle dynamics, motor vehicle hydraulic brake system influence on motor vehicle movement, interaction between its wheels with road pavements, road guardrail characteristics, interaction between motor vehicle and road guardrail) on a certain road section and propose their specific solution of this problem. The presented results, illustrating the motor vehicle movement trajectories (motor vehicle braking and interaction between motor vehicle and road guardrail at various initial conditions and at various certain pavement surface of the road section under investigation) and work of a motor vehicle hydraulic brake system. Taking into consideration the presented general mathematical model and computer aided test results it is possible to investigate various road transport traffic situations as well as to investigate various transport traffic safety problems.

Highlights

  • All factors influencing accidents are divided into three groups: people; vehicles; roads and streets.It is considered that 2/3 of all road accidents occur through the fault of people and only 1/3 because of factors, which do not depend on the will and actions of people [1].Accidents occur every 15 seconds, in which people suffer

  • The authors of this paper focus on the simulation of the motor vehicle movement on a certain road and propose their specific solution of this problem [1, 3–9, 11, 12]

  • Taking into consideration the presented general mathematical model and computer aided test results it is possible to investigate various road transport traffic situations as well as to investigate various transport traffic safety problems, for example what type and where road guardrail shall be mounted, what curvature ray of the road shall be selected so that the motor vehicle would not drive off the road carriageway, which driver caused an accident etc

Summary

Introduction

All factors influencing accidents are divided into three groups: people (drivers, cyclists, carters, pedestrians, passengers); vehicles (cars, buses, trolleybuses, motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, bicycles); roads and streets. Traffic safety is becoming a moral, social, economical, and a political problem in Lithuania. This problem has to be solved as quickly as possible, because Lithuania is considered to be a country of greater risk, which is very important, when integrating road transport into the European transport system. Taking into consideration the presented general mathematical model and computer aided test results it is possible to investigate various road transport traffic situations as well as to investigate various transport traffic safety problems, for example what type and where road guardrail shall be mounted, what curvature ray of the road shall be selected so that the motor vehicle would not drive off the road carriageway, which driver caused an accident etc.
