What is it about?

The work examines the main causes of road accidents. The work of technical means of ensuring traffic flows, such as traffic lights and road construction, is analyzed. The specifics of the organization of traffic in densely built urban environments are considered, which directly affects the safety of the transport process. An analysis of the factors influencing the provision of comfortable working conditions for drivers, ensuring their maximum concentration during the trip, was carried out. The means of maintaining the necessary microclimate in a vehicle and protecting drivers are described.

Why is it important?

Modern life cannot do without the use of road transport. Road transport is used for commercial activities (various cargo transportation, passenger transportation, etc.), as well as for personal purposes of citizens. The operation of road transport is inextricably linked with the concept of “Road Safety”. The presented research will help improve road safety.

Perspectives

Preventive work to ensure road safety should be carried out at all levels, starting with the education of the younger generation in educational institutions. Purposeful work at school should be carried out not only in contact with representatives of the State Traffic Inspectorate and health care, but above all in close cooperation with parents. However, without increasing the legal culture and legal awareness of citizens, it is impossible to ensure road safety at the proper level. In addition, it is necessary to conduct regular training sessions with drivers in organizations providing road transportation services, aimed at ensuring trouble-free operation. As a means of increasing driver responsibility, it is proposed to introduce a mandatory course of training programs for drivers with a detailed analysis of road accidents, consideration of the causes of its occurrence and consequences, as well as training drivers in measures to prevent such incidents.
