129-140 p.

  • The relevance of the paper is due to the improvement of the mechanism for estimating socioeconomic costs of road accidents, including the sustainable safety index. In this regard, the study is aimed at analysing the mechanism for estimating the socioeconomic costs of traffic accidents, followed by suggestions on the size and methods of implementing a sustainable safety index for improved and simplified calculation. Analysed the impact of road accidents on the wellbeing of society. The object of the study is the mechanism of determining socioeconomic costs of road accidents in Ukraine. The main research methods are the method of analysis and mathematical statistics, thanks to which a hypothesis on the introduction of a new equation for estimating the number of socioeconomic costs of road accidents has been comprehensively proven and put forward.
  • The paper presents the results of a study for improving the mechanism for estimating socioeconomic costs of road accidents. The analysis of the mechanism of calculation of the index "social and economic costs of road accidents" is performed. The calculation of the socioeconomic costs of road accidents according to the new equation makes it possible to reduce the probability of errors during calculations, allows to obtain an approximate result for planning road construction works at preinvestment stages or in the absence of all necessary initial data.
