The role of the human factor in ensuring safe intensification of road traffic is great. This can be achieved with good traffic management and a sharp reduction in motor vehicles collisions (MVC). Nowadays, in countries with a high level of motorization, MVCs lead to great amount of deaths and material losses. This happens because, no matter how reliable the vehicles, roads, and traffic rules, the outcome of the MVC in the vast majority of cases depends on the actions of the driver. The continuing rapid growth of the fleet leads to an increase in the intensity of traffic flows, which imposes ever-increasing demands on drivers. Therefore, improving the reliability of drivers becomes an urgent task, without the resolution of which it is impossible to achieve a significant reduction in MVC and improve traffic safety. The information obtained in the process of studying the patterns of perception by a driver of a road stop will help to solve this problem; therefore, this work is devoted to the urgent topic of the analysis of the influence of the driver’s reaction time on traffic safety and traffic capacity of the road network and is performed using the simulation method.
