According to the UN, about 1.3 million people die on the roads every year, and about 7 million people are injured. Most of the world’s 300 million disabled people are victims of road accidents. Based on the above-mentioned statistics, it becomes clear that the development of effective methods of combating road traffic injuries is a vital problem of humanity, the relevance of which is growing every year [1, 2].
