Telematics as a method for improvement the transport safety

The transport systems are now equipped with more telematics devices for improvement the functionality and safety purposes. One of the methods of evaluating telematics systems is modeling. The paper presents the basic model of typical land transport means (vehicle with anti-collision system, railway system) related to standard reliability model including non-safety, critical state. This model based on Markov processes theory may be more detailed corresponding to “telematics” control state connected with system reaction for driving improper action or device failure and activation the emergency control procedure.
