Justification of the ways to improve road safety using intelligent transport systems

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the directions for the improvement of road safety through the introduction of intelligent transport systems. The main directions of implementation are determined: increasing the efficiency of public transport, priority development of urban public transport, providing the population with information on the public transport schedule, transfer options, providing operational information on the state of road traffic, reducing traffic accidents, reducing the negative impact on the environment, improving the quality of provided transport services. The activities aimed at the development of intelligent transport systems are given. The world experience in the implementation of these systems is considered. Japan, Singapore and Korea are selected as the analyzed countries, as one of the leaders in the field of intelligent transport systems. A comparative analysis of their effectiveness is carried out. The advantages and disadvantages of the using the considered systems are revealed. The positive effects from the implementation and use of the analyzed systems are noted. It is concluded that intelligent transport systems have positive effects on the operation of transport system. The highlighted positive effects serve as a justification of directions for increasing road safety using intelligent transport systems.
