TOWARDS ROAD SAFETY AUDIT ON ROAD NETWORK OF UKRAINE

DOI: 10.33868/0365-8392-2020-1-261-32-39

Abstract. The key role in the implementation of the state transport strategy is played by the development of transport infrastructure, the most important component of which is the road network. The compliance of highways with the requirements of modern traffic flows determines not only the efficiency of industry and agriculture, but also ensuring the proper standard of living of people and the state defense capability.
Problems of efficient functioning of public roads, urban roads and streets of Ukraine are outlined. The main provisions for the road safety audit are outlined.
Road safety audits are proven to be one of the most effective engineering tools that affect road safety. The main benefit of road safety audit is the detailed assessment of the road safety design solutions at all stages of design.
The purpose of a road safety audit is to answer the following questions:
– what road elements could pose a threat to road users: to what extent, to what road users and under what circumstances;
– what opportunities exist to eliminate or reduce the impact of identified threats on traffic safety.
The earlier an audit is carried out in the design and construction processes, the better and more useful the results are. Carrying out an audit in the early stages can help eliminate problems early and, as a consequence, minimize the time and cost of redesigning in the subsequent stages.
In addition, it should be noted that conducting an audit leads to intensive negotiations between the auditors, the customer and the designer. Such negotiations are useful for raising awareness of all stakeholders, as well as for improving day-to-day work, design procedures and will be useful for updating building standards or norms.
The questions of improvement of methods of calculation of safe speed of movement, development of algorithms of multivariate analysis of conditions of movement, identification of potentially dangerous sites and identification of causes of danger are considered.
A mechanism is provided that can significantly accelerate such an audit, effectively utilize human, time and financial resources.
Keywords: audit, algorithm, traffic safety, road, method, model, speed.
