ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE ROAD TRANSPORT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Vitalina Lukianova Roksolana Lysak Liubov Soloviova Olena Sorochynska

Environmental impact assessment of road transport is a serious problem that needs an immediate solution. Intensive development of road transport is associated with an increase in anthropogenic load on the environment in the form of exhaust gases containing more than 200 pollutants, waste generation, pollution of water bodies and soils. This problem concerns not only the environmental assessment of the state of cities and settlements, but also the assessment of the state of intercity roads, roads passing through natural areas and protected areas. This problem is especially acute in industrially saturated centers and large cities of Ukraine. In this regard, the issues of improving methods for assessing the impact of vehicles on the environment are being actualized in order to find reserves for reducing the ecological and economic damage to the biosphere. Environmental impact assessments carried out in accordance with state legislation are components of the environmental assessment system. The paper shows that when assessing the environmental impact of road transport, the full life cycle of a motor vehicle should be taken into account. Therefore, the work conducted a study of the life cycle of a car from mining to utilization of a motor vehicle and assessed its impact on the environment. Evaluation of production processes and products for the full life cycle of a car is very difficult, as it is associated with the collection of information about many production processes taking place, including outside the enterprise. It should be noted that the information obtained when assessing a vehicle for the full life cycle allows us to invent ways to improve the design of the car and technological processes of its production, as well as reduce the negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the work identified the main parameters and factors influencing the environment of road transport. Possible mathematical models of the impact of road transport on the environment, in particular on the hydrosphere, are considered
