Abstract. The reason for the high accident rate in motor transport in the vast majority of cases is the violation of traffic rules by drivers of vehicles. At the same time, in the context of ensuring road safety, the human factor is not considered, which consists in intentionally committed violations or unintentional mistakes when driving a vehicle. These violations and errors are related to the individual qualities of drivers, regardless of the characteristics of the vehicles they drive. The individual qualities of drivers determine their reliability and are characterized by emotional stability, attention span, reaction time, and competence, which largely depend on age, seniority, and experience driving a particular type of vehicle. The aim of the study is to reduce accidents by identifying potential concentrations of road accidents, taking into account the parameters of the human factor. To achieve this goal, an algorithm was used that allows selecting the appropriate locations of the road network from a common data set by checking conditions that take into account the human factor. The use of preference coefficients allows us to identify significant indicators that correspond to the goals at the time of the study. The initial data are accident rates on the road network from official sources over a long period of time. The developed methodology has a scientific novelty. The result of the scientific research is to determine the potential places of concentration of accidents, as well as the significance of specific types of accidents with certain indicators in their total mass on the selected section of the road network from the point of view of the researcher’s goal. The theoretical significance of the work lies in verifying the operability of the proposed algorithm for determining potential concentrations of accidents due to violations of traffic rules by the driver, taking into account the parameters of the human factor, which is also of practical interest from the point of view of predicting accident rates and developing scientifically based measures to improve road safety. Further research should be aimed at studying other components of the human factor that have an impact on road safety.

Key words: road safety, driver, human factor, place of concentration of traffic accidents.
