Improvement of the accident coefficient method for evaluating the highway traffic conditions

Abstract

EN: In Ukraine, compared to the developed countries of the European Union, there is a high rate of the road accidents and the number of fatalities is much higher. As a result, the state suffers heavy losses and negative social consequences are observed. The current situation is complex and requires, among other things, the improvement of informational, legal and technical foundations for road safety. An analysis of various road safety measures used on the Ukrainian roads shows that they do not always achieve the desired effect. In this case, methods for assessing the quality of design solutions applied at the design stage can play a positive role.
