Keywords:

expert assessment, road traffic, safety, emergency, infrastructure, vehicles, management, mobility, pedestrians, groups with reduced mobility, children, cyclists, measures

Synopsis

The aim of research, based on the results of which this article was prepared, is the analysis of the main methodological provisions of providing an expert assessment (audit) of engineering and planning decisions, organizational and management measures to ensure road safety (RS) for vulnerable road users, as well as determining ways to improve it in Ukraine taking into account the specific features of the movement of the specified categories of the population and progressive world practices.

Since the current level of mortality and injuries due to traffic accidents (TA) in Ukraine significantly exceeds the average European indicators, and the level of effectiveness of scientific and methodological support of activities in the field of road safety is insufficient, the relevance and social significance of the research topic are obvious.

The research results are presented in the form of the authors' opinions regarding the following problems (areas of activity) in the RS field, which should be subject to expert assessment:

– the actual level of traffic accidents among the main categories of vulnerable road users in Ukraine;

– modern domestic and foreign scientific– methodical and engineering– planning approaches to the formation of individual elements of an effective and safe transport infrastructure, as well as progressive traffic management systems (TS);

–  the possibilities and expediency of implementing engineering and planning solutions, organizational and management measures to improve RS in Ukraine in accordance with the principles of sustainable mobility, taking into account the interests of certain types of vulnerable traffic participants (pedestrians, low- mobility population groups, children, cyclists).
