This paper analyzes the relationship between vehicle traffic density and the dynamic parameters that arise during collisions. As traffic flow becomes denser, the likelihood of road accidents increases. Therefore, the study explores how key physical parameters—such as vehicle speed, acceleration, impact force, and deformation—are interrelated under varying traffic conditions. The research emphasizes the use of mathematical modeling and simulation techniques to closely replicate real-world scenarios. The findings provide a valuable scientific and practical foundation for enhancing road safety and developing technological solutions aimed at reducing the risk of vehicle collisions.
