Mobility and Road Safety Improvement by Optimizing Smart City Infrastructure Parameters: A Case Study

Abstract

Accelerating urbanization leads to an increase in transport fleets. The road infrastructure does not have time to develop at the same pace, it gives rise to problematic situations in the field of organization and road safety. In order to solve these problems, an information managerial system has been developed. It aggregates information from several databases (information on traffic intensity, statistics of road traffic accidents, location and characteristics of infrastructure objects). Decisions are made on the basis of multivariate data analysis and computer experiments on simulated micro-models of the road network problem areas. The practical significance of the system lies in the ability to calculate the effects of the implementation of the proposed solutions at the stage of development of projects for the modernization and reconstruction of the road network parameters. The system can also be used for operational management decisions in the event of extreme situations in the city transport system (lockdown, public events).
