| Abstract. | Analysis of causes of accidents on the roads shows that the majority of them occur due to mistakes made by drivers. Causes of driver error can be divided into internal (psycho-physiological condition of the driver) and external (road conditions). The causes of committing driver errors can be achieved at the design stage of the road. The curves in the plan are 15 % of road accidents, which indicates the complication of the conditions of movement on them compared to straight road segments. When designing roads it is necessary to consider the trajectory of (dispersion of trajectory) and the forces acting on the car (the discomfort index) on curved sections of road. For estimating the dispersion trajectory and the discomfort index is required to use the technologies of visualization and simulation of road space. This will allow to study the effect of road design on driver behaviour. The results of these studies should be taken into account in the regulations for design of highways. Properly designed road is crucial to prevent human errors and helps to reduce accidents. |
