Improving Transportation and Traffic Safety with Digital Infrastructure and Telematic Systems for Mountain Vehicle Operations

Digital transformation strategies have been developed and approved in the federal constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The strategy of digital transformation of the Republic of Dagestan has comprised transport among main areas.
The strategy of digital transformation in the field of transport involves introduction of navigation systems on public transport, ensuring the comfort of passenger travel, including ease of payment, and reduced waiting time.
Research has shown that in recent years the number of road traffic accidents in the mountainous regions of Dagestan and their severity has increased. This is due to an increase in the number of cars operated on the road network of the Republic, especially by motor tourists, a decrease in driver discipline, and the low level of development of telematics systems and digital infrastructure on mountain roads.
In this work, the authors have proposed organisational, technical and engineering measures for development of digital infrastructure for the mountainous road conditions of the Republic of Dagestan, which include the creation of a Situation Centre in the Traffic Control Centre (TCC) with introduction of an automated transport mobility management system, systems for monitoring meteorological and road conditions, installation of dynamic information boards, updating of navigation maps and enhancement of the functions of voice messages.
The implementation of the proposed measures will improve transportation and road traffic safety when transporting passengers in the mountainous areas of Dagestan and reduce the number of road traffic accidents.
