Methodological aspects of building mathematical model to evaluate efficiency of automated vehicle traffic control systems

Abstract The article addresses the issue of substantiating a methodological approach to evaluating the efficiency of automated information and telecommunication systems for vehicle traffic monitoring, which allows us to quantify the efficiency of their application. The feature of these systems is their service nature. The authors develop a method for the optimal application of technical means of monitoring in the field of traffic safety assurance during the operation of the “driver–vehicle–road” system and obtain a dependence to determine the financial costs of maintaining the proper functioning of the photo and video recording complex throughout its service life. They propose criteria for evaluating the efficiency of automated vehicle traffic monitoring systems, taking into account the stochastic nature of system-forming factors. Promising directions for the formation of control functions in the operation of vehicles based on the use of automated monitoring systems are justified. To evaluate the impact of the automated traffic enforcement system on traffic safety, it is necessary to conduct studies at two levels: at the first level, we shall give an absolute evaluation of the road accidents, at the second level, we shall analyze the influence of automated traffic enforcement systems on the number of road accidents by their location and types. The implementation of the “correlation recording system” allows assessing in practice the efficiency of use of various automated traffic enforcement facilities recording traffic violations, as well as the degree of their influence on the accident rates. The formulated scientific and technical task is solved with the use of methods and software tools implementing the systemic criterion.
