Summary

ntroduction.  Road traffic accidents (hereinafter — traffic accidents) are a serious problem that affects the lives and health of the younger generation, as according to statistics, young people under the age of 35 are most often injured and killed in traffic accidents. Today, in Ukraine, the level of fatalities and injuries due to traffic accidents is quite high, and the level of traffic safety remains extremely low. In the UK, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for people aged from 5 to 34 and account for more than 15% of fatalities in this age group. Ukraine is one of the leaders among the European countries in terms of specific accident rates and the consequences of road accidents. On average, in EU member states there are 5 percent of traffic fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants, while in Ukraine this indicator is 8.22 percent of people (according to 2019 statistical data).

Problem statement.  The main cause of accidents with serious consequences and deaths is overspeeding.

Purpose. Therefore, it is extremely important to evaluate the effectiveness of automatic photo and video registration of traffic violations that affect the severity of the consequences of traffic accidents.

Materials and methods.  Empirical methods of scientific research are used to analyze the impact of automatic photo and video registration systems of traffic violations.

Results. The article presents a brief diagnosis of accidents with fatalities and/or injuries due to speeding and the main factors influencing speeding by drivers. Also the impact of the system of automatic photo-video fixation of traffic violations on reducing the level of accidents and the experience of other countries in the implementation of similar systems.

Conclusions. Using the empirical methods of scientific research it is proved that automatic photo and video registration systems prevent the occurrence of traffic accidents with serious consequences. This is confirmed by comparing the results before and after the installation of automatic photo and video registration systems.
