Assessment of road traffic in areas with limited visibility by physical means

This scientific article analyzes the primary causes of road traffic accidents involving pedestrians in areas with limited visibility—particularly in conditions such as fog, darkness, sharp curves, and complex terrain. A key issue identified is the insufficient use of available technical capabilities by drivers when navigating through such environments. The study uses physical modeling, distance and braking calculations, and speed-based mathematical analyses to examine vehicle movement and accident risk scientifically. The findings show that over 22% of traffic accidents in areas with limited visibility are directly linked to drivers failing to fully utilize their technical options. For instance, in situations where a Lacetti vehicle could have been safely stopped in time, the driver failed to apply the brakes promptly, resulting in a collision. More broadly, the study confirms that 91% of road traffic accidents occur due to driver error, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions in these high-risk situations. Based on the research, several proposals have been developed. These include enhancing driver culture, organizing specialized training courses on road safety, and introducing traffic rule education in general education schools. Such preventive strategies are considered vital in mitigating the frequency and severity of pedestrian-related traffic accidents. In conclusion, the study highlights the need for a systemic approach that combines technical, educational, and behavioral measures to reduce accident risks. Implementing these recommendations can significantly improve safety outcomes and foster better interaction between drivers and pedestrians, particularly in environments where visibility is limited.
