Abstract

The article presents a model for establishing the optimal speed of movement on highways, taking into account the determination of the braking distance in winter slippery conditions. According to the research results, it was established that the main criterion for the formation of road accidents on highways in winter slippery conditions is the drivers' underestimation of the adhesion qualities of road surfaces. The main criterion of the model under consideration is the interaction of the car wheel (braking distance) with the road (adhesion coefficient) and is a complex that characterizes the stability of the car rolling over on slippery surfaces and the driver's actions in making an effective decision and the duration of the reaction time. In the proposed mathematical model, the accident rate on a slippery road is estimated by the coefficient of adhesion of icy road surfaces, the value of the load or the average wheel pressure. Also, the frequency of load application, the amount of deflection of the coating (at an air temperature above +20 ° C), rolling resistance, the coefficient of adhesion of the car wheel to the coating. One of the main characteristics of the model is a subsystem - the average pressure p = Q / S (S is the area of the imprint of the wheel, cm²), etc. Thus, in the process of analyzing the results of the causes of road traffic accidents, the factors of the driver's reliability and the decisions made will be taken into account, which depend on the speed of vehicles in any condition of the road surface.
