ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL INDICATORS OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AS INDICATORS OF IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY OF ROAD TRANSPORT IN THE KURSK REGION

The article presents an analysis of modern research in the field of assessing the anthropogenic impact of motor transport, including emissions of pollutants into the air, noise and vibration impact. When implementing measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of motor transport, considerable attention is paid to the development and implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS). To assess the effectiveness of using ITS elements in the Kursk region in terms of improving environmental performance, the authors analyzed the following functional indicators of ITS: mass emissions of pollutants contained in vehicle exhaust gases; noise level from traffic flow; CO and NOx concentration values. The conducted field studies and calculations indicate the high efficiency of ITS implementation to reduce the environmental load on sections of the road network.
