Abstract

The paper considers the main indicators of traffic capacity, which depend on a large number of factors: road conditions (roadway width, longitudinal slope, radius of curves in the plan, visibility distance, etc.), composition of the traffic flow, the ability to maneuver cars along the width of the roadway, psychophysiological characteristics of drivers, especially weather and climatic conditions. It has been determined that changes in these factors lead to significant fluctuations in traffic capacity during the day, month, season, and year. Reducing the capacity of roads and bridge crossings leads to an increase in the concentration of road traffic accidents (RTAs) and an increase in accidents. Determination of the traffic capacity is necessary not only to identify areas requiring improvement of traffic conditions, but also to assess the efficiency and convenience of the entire traffic flow along the route, and to select effective means of traffic management
