RESEARCH OF ASPECTS OF REDUCING ROAD TRAFFIC INJURIES BASED ON ABROAD EXPERIENCE

Liudmyla Bondarenko Oksana Kushnirova Natalia Prokopchuk

The paper examines the main indicators of road safety measurement based on the European experience and countries of the world. It was determined that there are three main indicators that allow for a qualitative assessment of safety indicators, they are indicative in the case of the most reliable data on the number of the population, functioning vehicles and accounting for the length of the roads traveled by these vehicles. An assessment of statistical data on deaths due to road accidents was made based on the 2022 report of the V International Transport Forum. The data of these countries on the number of deaths per 100,000 thousand population was studied and a trend towards a decrease in the negative consequences of road accidents was noted. The study of foreign experience makes it possible to determine the main directions by which the safety indicators on the roads of Ukraine can be evaluated, as well as to understand the effectiveness of the programs implemented in our country. According to the main financial assessment of the consequences of the road accident, in relation to the GDP of the state, a value assessment of the socio-economic losses of Ukraine from the above-mentioned events is given. Huge financial costs of the state and, of course, physical losses of the population were noted. The program of actions of Ukraine in terms of road safety has been studied and the main directions of action of the countries of the world in order to achieve zero mortality due to road accidents have been determined
