Scientific Basis of the Expert System of Road Safety

Evaluation of road safety measures efficiency in conditions of uncertainty

“…Implementation of the project "Road safety in 10 countries" (RS10) in Russia showed the effectiveness of measures to improve road safety [12,13]. The developed scientific and applied toolkit for the social-economic evaluation and selection of the most effective set of measures to improve road safety in conditions of uncertainty is consistent with the methodology of the expert system "Road safety" [14,15], but can be used independently. The application of the obtained scientific results provides an opportunity for a qualitative evaluation of road safety measures whose main goal is to save human lives and to reduce road traffic injuries.…”

“…The data on the traffic organization and accident rates in Gagarin Street, which is one of the streets in Lipetsk with high accident rates, was used as an example [14,15]. 11 "blackspot" sites were identified for which a set of necessary measures on improving road safety was determined from the following list: bus bay (sites 1, 3, 5, 7-11), controlled crossing (sites 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10), safety island (sites 4, 9, 10), pedestrian guard rails (sites 2-10) (see Table 1).…”

Use of program and target planning for increase in level of traffic safety

“…Emel'yanov [12] in the study of complex discrete systems and processes occurring in them. As the development of this method, when choosing the algorithm for managing the subsystem for the elimination of the consequences of road accidents, if events occur in it, a constantly updated database of precedents and the PATTERN technique (PATTERN -Planning Assistence Through Technical Evaluation of Relevance Numbers -realizing the ideas of program-targeted planning and forecasting, which allow the most rational distribution of limited resources, in order to link the goals formed, as a rule, in a general form, and specific options for allocating resources to a single program [8,10,11]. The methodology is based on the procedure for constructing scenarios represented by hierarchical graph models, called the "relevance tree", based on the principles of deductive logic by dividing the problem into subproblems, from one level of the hierarchy to another [10].…”

Road safety on the example of the city of Bytom

“…In terms of road safety, various initiatives in the field of legislation, development and improvement of the road infrastructure are taken [3,6,14]. The supervision of road traffic and social campaigns, educational and informational projects, road rescue, statistical analysis [9,19,20] as well as scientific researches in the field of road safety, are intensified [8,13,28 ]. The National Road Safety Council (KRBRD) is an inter-ministerial advisory and auxiliary body of the Council of Ministers in matters of road safety.…”
