The article is devoted to the need to introduce an independent rating system for assessing the safety of cars RuNCAP in the Russian Federation. The introduction of this system will make it possible to more fully take into account the Russian operating conditions when assigning ratings to passive and active safety. RuNCAP will contribute to the wider adoption of intelligent driver assistance systems and their efficiency. The development of RuNCAP is proposed to be carried out taking into account the analysis of the features of the accident statistics for the Russian Federation. The article also presents the development strategy of RuNCAP for the coming years.

The paper reviews existing solutions for the application of an acceleration sensor built into a mobile phone. A drawback of the results published in the available literature is that the experimental studies are performed in laboratory conditions and that high-complexity procedures and algorithms are used. It is necessary to perform field surveys, taking into account the factors influencing the measurement of the acceleration with a mobile phone. The studies and results obtained are complementary to those available from the literature in that the measurements are made "on the road". Factors that influence measurement accuracy in real-life conditions are defined. The results obtained show that mobile phones, regardless of brand and model, should be used to make such measurements and comparisons before being used for such purposes in order to make objective results and conclusions in scientific developments.
