Abstract
The conditions of movement of fixed-route vehicles in the area of bus stops are analyzed. The accident rate associated with public road transport in the Sverdlovsk region and Yekaterinburg for three years is considered. Bus stops in the central part of the city have been investigated, most of which are not equipped with a check-in "pocket". The width of the roadway opposite the investigated stopping points is determined. It was recorded that most of the stopping points are installed opposite the roadway, with a width of 11 to 20 m. 65% of the considered stopping points do not have an entrance "pocket", which leads to a stop of public transport in the lane. It has been established that in the presence of a check-in "pocket" buses create a large number of conflict situations with vehicles moving in the same direction, which increases the likelihood of road accidents. The high accident rate involving public transport leads to the need to analyze the movement of fixed-route vehicles in the area of stopping points.
Purpose – determination of conditions affecting the safety of route vehicles in the area of stopping points.
Methodology statistical methods of processing a full-scale experiment were used in the work.
Results: the ranges of changes in the width of the carriageway opposite the stopping points, the impact of the presence of a check-in "pocket" on road safety have been determined.
Practical implications: It is advisable to apply the results obtained in the development of measures to ensure road safety in the area of bus stops.
