Review article

Investigation and examination of road transportaccidents (RTA) is an important process of identifyingthe causes of their occurrence, among which brakingoccupies a significant place. The article discusses theproblem of vehicle braking in conditions that differ innon-standard characteristics and quite often accompanyroad accidents (for example, vehicle braking in case ofuncontrolled movement or lateral sliding, in case of non-standard condition of vehicle wheel tires or road surface).Experimental studies of the braking process in non-standard conditions were carried out, on the basis of whichadditional data were obtained for updating databases onthe vehicle braking process, empirical dependencies of thecharacteristics of the vehicle deceleration process fromnon-standard braking conditions were established. Thiswill allow expert and investigative units investigating theroad transport accident and its expert support to morefully and comprehensively determine the components ofthe mechanism of its formation.
