Abstract

Known methods of assessing the level of traffic safety on highway sections are considered. Factors that can significantly affect forecasting accuracy have been identified. It is proposed to improve the existing method by introducing additional parameters, which were obtained as a result of the formalization of accident statistics at the places of traffic accidents concentration. The purpose of the work is to provide traffic safety specialists with an effective express method of evaluating the level of traffic safety with points directly on the road. The proposed scoring method of evaluating road safety also arouses interest due to the recent implementation in Ukraine of a road safety audit at the stage of operational maintenance, which is specifically designed to conduct an independent inspection of dangerous sections of highways and prescribe low-cost and effective measures to reduce accidents. This will help to make decisions in the road safety management system that will relate to effective measures.
