Description
Summary:The article examines the issues of assessing the sustainability of road safety improvement process in Russian cities with a population of more than 1 million people. In 2015...2018 a sharp decrease in the overall level of road traffic accidents in the Russian Federation was recorded. However, in different regions and cities of the country this positive process runs extremely heterogeneously, with various speeds and different levels of qualitative changes in the field of road safety. The T-Wilcoxon criterion is an instrument, used in analyzing accident rate statistics, which can help in the argumentation of the opinion on the sustainability of this process or, vice versa, on the chaotic state and weak expression. On the example of accident rate statistics in Russian cities with a population of more than 1 million people, the article proves that improvement of road safety can be characterized as sustainable.
