1. Main text In the year 2014, in the territory of the Russian Federation, more than 200 ths road traffic accidents (RTAs) were registered. During these accidents, 25.1 ths people died and 252.8 ths were injured. The analysis of historical data (Fig. 1) shows that the main reason of RTAs is non-observance of road traffic regulations by drivers in as much as 87% of the total number of accidents (173.9 ths RTAs). At that, almost 40% or 76.9 ths RTAs were caused by drivers which had been administratively liable on more than one occasion [1].

According to the statistics, multiple breaches are committed by a narrow group of individuals — in 2014, 4.2 ths physical persons and legal entities committed 100 and more breaches of road traffic regulations [2]. Multiple breaches of road traffic regulations are indicative of the formation of the driving style hazardous for other road users. To decrease the traffic accident rate and minimize accident consequences, it is required to assess and control the driving style as well as correct it in those drivers who regularly breach road traffic regulations. However, the difficulty of driving style determination, monitoring, and correction lies in the fact that, currently, in the Russian Federation, they are performed without application of innovative technologies which makes them labor consuming, expensive, and, therefore, of no interest for transport companies. The study is aimed at revealing the possibility of application of innovative technologies for driving style monitoring and correction. For this purpose, it is suggested to give the author’s vision of the issue with regard to determination of parameters for driving style assessment and respective correction methods to enhance the traffic safety in big cities alongside with enhancing AOC efficiency.

The following research methods were used in the work: system method, logical method, comparative analysis; statistical data analysis; decomposition, induction and deduction, graphic methods. Peculiarities of driving typical for various drivers directly influence the transport process results and may be assessed through environmental compatibility, efficiency, and safety of driving [Millerand Taubman (2010)]. In scientific literature, the aggregate of general characteristics of driving activity and peculiarities of driving behavior is named as a driving style [Taubman and Yehiel (2012)]. Depending on his or her driving style, a driver may perform driving differently: with progressive or hard braking, turning with or without deceleration, etc. The aggregate nature of driving performance allows making a conclusion about the driving style of a driver [Naritsin (2006)]. In our opinion, the influence of the individual driving style on sustainable development may be represented in the form of the conceptual scheme given in Fig. 1. It shall be noted that the studied dependence acts indirectly through the influence on AOC operation efficiency and itscompetitive ability. To determine the driving style of a certain person, it is required to gather the information about his or her driving peculiarities, i.e. to define the way in which characteristics of the individual driving style manifest during driving [Lobanova (2014)]. Accordingly, it is required to specify the way it is possible to obtain the information about characteristics of the driving style of a certain person. Such methods as driving accompanied by a special person recording driving characteristics and drivers’ poll for a long time have been the most popular ways of obtaining such information. However, these methods are subjective and distort the results of undertaken studies. For example, a driver can make an intentional or occasional mistake while answering a question and an observer can rely on his or her subjective opinion while assessing the actions of ɚ driver. Given this, to define characteristics of the driving style of a driver, it is required to use objective control means such as innovative technologies of satellite monitoring, traffic surveillance, various sensors defining operating parameters of a vehicle as well as actions of a driver. The monitoring is understood as the continuous process of collection and analysis of the information about the values of the diagnostic parameters of an object. The vehicle monitoring process is mainly aimed at the control of the current condition and location of vehicles. Vehicles are equipped with satellite monitoring modules sending the data on the location and condition of a vehicle by means of satellite transmission of a signal to the server where the incoming data are processed with software. Monitoring means together with a tachograph and sensors of a vehicle allow to determine observance of the speed rate, work and rest schedule, acceleration and braking type. Due to the possibility of integration with monitoring modules of other equipment, the monitoring means represent one of the most meaningful information sources about the driving style. One of the innovative methods to obtain the information about the driving style is integration with the system of monitoring of dashboard cameras and radars. It allows for assessing additional characteristics such as keeping the pace and maintenance of lateral distances as well as confirmation of the information received from the satellite monitoring system using video sequence with registration of acts of breaching [8]. The other way to obtain the information about the driving style is the use of traffic surveillance means such as cameras or radars. These means also allow for obtaining the information about the movement mode of a vehicle, observance of marking and signs, the required speed rate. Another tool required to obtain the information about the driving style is represented with various sensors which can be installed on a vehicle and even integrated into monitoring modules. With use of such sensors, it is possible to obtain the information about acceleration modes, moving and braking of a vehicle, use of a seat belt or use of only one hand while driving. Table 1 shows the information about objective control means to be used to obtain the information about characteristics of the driving style.

Thus, the information about all characteristics of the driving style can be collected with use of objective control means. At that, in case of integration of vehicle sensors with monitoring modules, it is possible to obtain the larger part of this data exclusively due to the monitoring system which facilitates the collection, processing, and analysis of the incoming information. Based on the information obtained this way, it is possible to determine the driving style of a certain person. However, consideration shall be given to the fact that the collection of data on the driving style with use of a dashboard camera is extremely labor consuming and demands time expenditures for the data processing, compatible with the labor time of a driver, which makes the assessment of individual driving characteristics inefficient.

To correct the driving style, the following technical means can be used: traffic surveillance and information means, driving with a supervisor, tachographs, monitoring modules, buzzers, radar-detector, GPS signal mufflers, advanced driving aid systems such as automatic parking systems, cruise control systems, systems for driver’s condition determination, collision avoidance systems, systems of automatic lane following or lane changing. The systems for correction of the driving style can be classified on the basis of the achieved result into three groups: • devices correcting the driving style by means of fixing breaches and sending the respective information to a driver by a feedback path; • devices correcting the information about the driving style due to difficulties in fixing breaches;

Thus, the correction of the driving style will allow making progress in several directions concurrently, namely: to decrease the accident rate and a number of victims in RTAs, to make the urban transport system safer for humans; to decrease original cost of transport services for account of decrease of POL and spare parts consumption, to enhance competitive ability of transport companies; to decrease the level of pollution resulted from vehicles’ use, which facilitates urban sustainable development. 2. Conclusion The performed analysis of statistical data allowed to emphasize raising of the transport safety and efficiency requirements. Based on the decomposition of the driving style, the correlation between indicators characterizing peculiarities of driving and the sustainable development of an AOC ɚs well as the influence of the driving style on the sustainable development of transport have been revealed. The author’s vision for solving the issue with regard to selection of criteria for the assessment of the driving style with consideration of the target indices of the sustainable development is suggested; the respective indices are given. The innovative technologies for the assessment and correctionof the driving style allowing enhancing the transport operation efficiency and urban traffic safety are given. The algorithm for the monitoring, assessment, and correction of the driving style allowing adapting the latter to the requirements and the target indices of the sustainable development is suggested.
