Abstract

The annual growth of the intensity of transport and pedestrian flows in the Republic of Belarus also directly affects road safety. In most countries, accidents in motor transport have become one of the most important socio-economic problems. It is no coincidence that the UN Road Safety Regulations characterize it as a global crisis.

More than 270 thousand pedestrians die on the roads of the world every year. Globally, pedestrians account for 22 % of the total number of deaths as a result of road accidents, and in some countries - up to two thirds of such cases. In addition, millions of pedestrians are injured in accidents, and some of the victims become disabled for life. These accidents, in addition to personal "losses", also lead to emergency (and other!) losses, for which the state "pays" [1]. An effective measure aimed at improving pedestrian safety is the optimization of the traffic light regulation cycle, with a separate phase for pedestrian movement.
