Improving road traffic safety through the use of innovative technologies

Abstract

The use of innovative technologies is the most effective and promising way to improve the road traffic safety management system. The relevance of the work is expressed in the need for continuous implementation of innovations in the context of growing disproportion between the sharp increase in the number of vehicles, high traffic intensity, and imperfection of road traffic management (problems of existing infrastructure, poor information support for road users, etc.), which results in road traffic injuries and deaths. In the course of the research, it was found that in the context of the Republic of Adygea, using rumble strips installed at the road shoulder reduces the number of run-off-road collisions by 30%, while using centerline rumble strips reduces the number of cross-over incidents and resultant head-on collisions by 15%.
