Abstract
Increase of the road safety is the main goal in the sphere of transport management. Authors state that the decision-making process should be based on the analysis of statistical data on the violations, traffic reasons of accidents and problem areas. Official statistics of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is used as an initial information. As a method to determine factors influencing the traffic safety, the so-called Haddon matrix was used. Efficiency of the proposed recommendations is analyzed from the viewpoint of their role in the process of ensuring safety and sustainability of the city transport system.
Highlights
The processes of urbanization and globalization of economics are accompanied by an increase in the need for cargo and population transportation
According to the “Global status report on road safety 2015”, despite road safety improvement, there are still about 1.25 million people who die each year as a result of traffic accidents
The objective of this study is to propose ways to improve road safety that should be based on the analysis of the statistics of the traffic rule violations and the implemented actions’ efficiency
Summary
The processes of urbanization and globalization of economics are accompanied by an increase in the need for cargo and population transportation. Rapid growth of motorization and traffic volumes causes reduction of the sustainability and safety of transport system that is confirmed by negative impact on the environment and increase in the number of road traffic injuries. Many countries are successful in achieving and sustaining reductions in death rates as a result of accidents. This has been made possible by improving, monitoring and enforcing national laws, as well as increasing road and vehicle safety. There is a considerable evidence on interventions that are effective in making roads safer: many of high income countries in the European Region are successful at reducing deaths and injuries on roads even despite increasing motorization [5]
