The purpose of the article is to determine the influence of traffic safety on transport infrastructure and competitiveness of economic system in view of developed and developing countries of the world and to develop the concept of managing traffic safety based on the new ICT in the interests of reduction of differentiation of developed and developing countries and unification of the global transport infrastructure. The methodology of the research is based on regression analysis, which is used for determining regression dependence between traffic safety, which indicator is death rate from vehicle accidents according to the World Health Organization, (x), transport infrastructure index (y1), and index of global competitiveness of the countries (y2) according to the World Economic Forum. The research is performed in view of developed and developing countries, which have the first and the least positions in the international ranking of traffic safety. The developed countries include Malta, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden, and developing countries include Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, and Montenegro. It is substantiated that absence of consideration of such factor as traffic safety does not allow for full and precise evaluation of development of transport infrastructure. Application of new information and communication technologies to managing traffic safety allows improving transport infrastructure and thus increasing competitiveness of the economic system. For that, the authors’ concept of managing traffic safety on the basis of new ICT in the interests of differentiation of developed and developing countries and unification of the global transport infrastructure is developed. |
