Reduction of accidents on public roads by increasing informativeness of drivers

Abstract

The article reveals the cause of road accidents in the passing direction on the federal roads of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Analysis of the composition of the traffic flow showed that 50% of cars in the Russian Federation are not equipped with the ABS system. Studies of the magnitude of the braking distance showed that when driving at low speeds up to 30 km/h on surfaces with a high coefficient of adhesion, the effect of ABS is not significant. However, if the coupling properties of the tire-road deteriorate and the speed regime is increased, the effect of ABS is increased, while the reduction of the braking distance can reach 30%. On the federal roads of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the average speed is much more than 30 km/h (93 km/h). Since the braking distance of cars equipped with ABS is much less than the braking distance of vehicles that are not equipped with a system, it is proposed to separate cars with electronic safety systems for braking and stabilizing traffic from the general flow. Allocation of cars equipped with ABS system will alert the driver of the vehicle that is driving the car with the ABS system about the need to maximize the distance and keep it constantly.
