Abstract

The number of road traffic accidents has been on the rise worldwide with severe impacts. Road transport risk management has been one of the most important issues in the transport systems during the last several years. Where new technical solutions have been developed towards ensuring road and driver safety. The paper is focused on the telematics concept for the integrated management of road transport risks. Firstly, all the potential risks and transport engineering problems were identified. A new comprehensive framework for managing transport risks was developed on the basis of information and communications technology (telematics, ICT). This framework contains advanced strategies and processes for successful transport risk management using telematics. The paper presents the efficiency of the proposed framework in improving road safety, preventing avoidable accidents and reducing the probability of critical accidents.
