摘要:The article analyzes the methodological approaches to the assessment of economic losses from road traffic accidents, including in terms of meeting the needs of the main groups of users of these methods. The results of the study showed that in the developed countries of the world different approaches to assessing the cost of damage from road accidents are used. Different methodological approaches determine the receipt of different and, in most cases, completely incomparable results, which indicates the lack of operationality of the calculation methods used. In addition, the applied technologies for calculating economic losses from road accidents do not take into account the specific needs of different groups of users of these methods, which determines the high relevance of the development for the practical use of special methods for calculating damage that meet the expectations and requirements of their consumers..
