Abstract. The relevance of the study is determined by the lack of knowledge of the increase in accident rates in road transport in high ambient temperatures. The purpose of the study is to establish the effect of high ambient temperature on road safety. Research methods. The classical methods of analysis and synthesis, mathematical statistics, and functional analysis were used. The baseline data used in the work was statistical data on the number of road traffic accidents, the number of motor vehicles, and the weighted average air temperature in the summer months in the territory of the RF subjects from 2016 to 2018. The main results consist in the established dependencies of the indicator of road accidents per one thousand cars registered in the subjects of the Russian Federation, remote from summer tourist tourist flows, from the values of the weighted average air temperature in the summer months. The negative nature of this influence is noted. Orenburg and Lipetsk regions are selected as the regions under study. The scientific novelty consists in the established increase in the number of road accidents per one thousand vehicles registered in the subjects of the Russian Federation, from an increase in the weighted average air temperature in the summer months in the territory of the subjects of the Russian Federation; in the established dependencies of the studied indicator in different regions (the maximum values (of the indicator differ by 1.24 times) caused by the action of specific regional factors. The practical significance of the results lies in the validity of the regulatory requirements for the organization and management of the motor transport process, which should be contained in motor law, for passenger motor vehicles in operation, and for the driver’s workplace. The directions of further research are connected with the further study of the patterns of the influence of high ambient temperatures on the processes affecting the safety of the transport process, and the development on their basis of organizational and technological measures to improve safety. Recommendations. The results of the research can be recommended to the organizers of the transport of passengers and goods by road, as well as units of regional and municipal authorities with traffic management functions.
