| Title of the article | Placement of recreation areas for car tourists as a tool for improving safety on roads |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The annual growth of domestic car tourism in Russia requires an increase in road safety through the development of road service infrastructure and services. The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal locations for the placement of new priority tourist attraction points based on the analysis of traffic flows and the required level of safety, which necessitated the use of a modern method based on cluster analysis. The main results of the study are that the proposed approach based on cluster analysis made it possible to divide the subjects of the Russian Federation into groups according to their membership in the points of tourist attraction, as well as to assess the total flow of car tourists to the Republic of Tatarstan. Conclusions. To join regions into groups, an integral indicator is proposed which equals to the product of the distance between the object and the center, the coefficient of range of movement by car and the relative coefficient of attractiveness of the centers of attraction. The use of this indicator made it possible to predict the high intensity of the potential tourist flow from the eastern entrance along the M-12 highway in the Republic of Tatarstan. A territorial analysis of the M-12 highway showed that for 53 km at the entrance to the Republic of Tatarstan there are no recreation areas for tourists and drivers, which completely does not correspond to the conditions of rest from driving a car, therefore, it was recommended to place multifunctional recreation areas near a picturesque place near the village of Staroe Baysarovo. |
