Abstract
This article reports the results of an in-depth analysis of the transport situation in the Russian Federation and presents the main programmes, aimed at its improvement. The paper deals with the major ways of reducing risk of traffic accidents and increasing traffic safety. The paper proposes the scientific and methodological approach, providing the specialists with the opportunities of conducting a comprehensive assessment of the causes of emergencies and aiming at eliminating road accidents rates. The origin of the process of an emergency situation occurrence has been investigated and designed, the key components (constituents) of the process have been identified and the basic mechanisms, influencing the basic components, have been analyzed. The algorithm of the application of the proposed and developed scientific and methodological approach at the level of departmental organizations has been suggested. The article describes the mathematical model of the process of emergency situations occurrence, which, together with the applied telematics systems and intelligent transport systems, will help to achieve the basic objectives of the study.
Highlights
The transport situation, prevailing in many regions of the country, resembles the tendency typical for many countries of the world, indicating that the high growth of motorization and number of cars on the roads, leads to increased growth of traffic accidents
According to data released by Rosstat (Head Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation), the number of cars is constantly growing, increasing from 257,5 per 1000 inhabitants in 2012 to 288.8 in 2015, and this three-year period witnessed an increase by 12% [3] It is a complicated task to handle to achieve the main objective of the existing road safety programme with such figures and rates, but, according to data and indicators, it is being successfully implemented
Data analysis shows that we are observing a significant drop and lowering of these figures in the Russian Federation as a whole in the process of the programme implementation, which is the demonstration of its validity, efficiency and effectiveness, but let's consider the analyzed indicators in areas located in the Central Federal District (CFD) [4] in more detail
Summary
The transport situation, prevailing in many regions of the country, resembles the tendency typical for many countries of the world, indicating that the high growth of motorization and number of cars on the roads, leads to increased growth of traffic accidents. A holistic (complex) approach, embodied in the main purpose and objective of the existing Federal Target Programme, comprises such aspects as early upbringing, training and teaching people the so called driving culture, as well as using preventive activities and enhancing security in case an accident has already happened, which involves the measures, aimed at improving the system of providing the victims of the road accidents with assistance, the tasks, mentioned above, can be divided into initial and final by analogy with the process of occurrence of an accident [5] Particular attention in this context should be given to the initial objectives, they are being successfully implemented in the existing programme, but, they are of a preventive nature, namely building up the strategic approaches to forming the culture of driving before the occurrence of an emergency situation, because the majority of traffic accidents is the fault of the careless and negligent drivers (86.8% according to the data released in 2016). The combination of a large number of factors in the process of driving a car may cause the situations, undergoing our analysis; close and systematic description of these factors and development of the measures for their analysis will help to reduce the probability of their occurrence
