categorized by any given feature can be used as an indicator of how the environment and the P-V-R-TE system interact. The driver must immediately activate the car's active safety features, and the pedestrian must get out of the area of conflict as soon as feasible. Underestimating the human aspect in this situation poses a serious risk to the security of all the subsystems. As a result, the conflict escalates into an accident that causes harm or death if the persons involved fail to take the precautions listed above, or if their measures are insufficient or inappropriate for the circumstance.
change in substance and hierarchy depending on their goals. An aggregation of road accidents, sorted by any given aspect, could serve as a barometer for how the system interacts with its surroundings. This study examines the findings of professional road accident evaluations and investigations, as well as data that characterize the current state of the street and road network and point to the primary causes of road accidents. We present findings from street and road network field investigations, which include driver and pedestrian feedback, and discuss current traffic patterns. We also examine the most frequent points of conflict that arise when pedestrians go along the side of the road or the edge of the carriageways, as well as locations of conflict that arise in intersection areas. In addition to discussing how a person's employment may affect traffic safety, this essay also examines how a driver's and a pedestrian's behavior may be affected by their mental and physical health.
2. OBJECTIVE: The severity of road accident outcomes depends on a variety of factors, as we found out when we examined more than 400 papers from 200 to the present day that contained expert evaluations and investigations of road accidents. This necessitates a thorough examination of the process of a vehicle-pedestrian collision. A technical component (the pedestrians' movements, the vehicle's speed, and the damage it sustained), a medical factor (the pedestrians' injuries), etc., should be included among the aforementioned considerations. According to a study of collisions between various vehicles and pedestrians between the ages of 20 and 50, which we consider to be the most active age group, around 55% of crashes were caused by passenger cars, 20% by trucks, and 4% by buses. 600 pedestrians suffered various forms of injuries as a result of these crashes. In the course of crashes, we have data on the patterns of velocity distribution among passenger cars. Our research shows that vehicle speed is constantly rising. In contrast, over the more recent years, the velocity range has reached 20-40 km/h, and in extreme cases, as much as 50-70 km/h. Between 2000 and 2015, the approximate vehicle velocity at the moment of collision with a pedestrian was 20-30 km/h (data recorded in populated regions only). Modern automobiles have better dynamic parameters, which readily explains this. There is, however, a psychological component as well. Many owners of costly automobiles have a tendency to feel superior to the general populace, which they demonstrate by making full use of their vehicles' amazing speed and dynamics in the midst of the street and road network. Since 2015, the majority of people have begun to view vehicles as more than simply practical tools but also as a form of self-expression.

1. INTRODUCTION Traffic safety assurance is a top priority since accidents on the road can have serious effects. More concerted efforts are needed to improve traffic safety and lessen the harm caused by accidents in order to solve this problem. The issue is made even worse by the fact that there are a lot of people on the roads and by how difficult it is to coordinate all of the pertinent organizations, businesses, and bodies involved in the transportation process. In the context of the "PeopleVehicle-Road-Traffic Environment" (P-V-R-TE) system, this research seeks to assess pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. The order of the entities in the name of our system is intentional. In terms of methodology, the concept of a system indicates that it is both distinct from and contiguous with its surroundings. In addition to defining the bonds and relationships between the components of a system, systemic analysis also focuses on the relationships and connections between the system and its environment. In our case, the term "Traffic Environment" refers to the following: the actual accident that was caused by the drivers of the vehicles; the tools used to manage and regulate the visitors; and the climatic conditions (humidity, rain) and astronomical (daylight hours, overnight) conditions affecting the other components of the system at the time in question.
