Road safety is a major global concern for today's rapid world that has no time to waste. The concept of Road safety auditing (RSA) is well in implementation in developed nations like USA, Australia, Qatar etc. However it is not in a desired state of implementation in developing nations. RSA is an organized procedure to assess the quality and conditions in terms of Safety standards of the existing roads or proposed road projects. This is a valuable tool to anticipate the occurrences of road crashes or fatalities and it also indicates the approach to rectify the safety issues proactively. With the help of comprehensive amount of data from conducted RSA, the governments can draft and upgrade the protocols for designing and building safer roads for all kinds of road users. The aim of this study is to emphasize the need of RSA at DPR stage or design phase to curb the crashes and fatalities before they occur. A stretch of a link road connecting SH-94/MDR-103 and NH-62 was chosen for this study. This link road acts as a bypass for Suratgarh City and connects the traffic coming from on SH-94 Hanumangarh to NH-62. According to the local residents of Suratgarh City, the said portion of the road reports 3-4 major crashes every month, making it a perfect candidate for the study as the crashes are mostly because of design flaws which are pointed out in the paper. In the later part of the study, customized solutions are provided so as to rectify the fatal issues of the design to enhance the safety for road users. Towards the end, the study suggests some changes that can be incorporated with the concept of the Highway alignment and profiling for the concerned authorities or Governments to boost up the safety of their road users.

This paper provides designing methodical recommendations and using their results to improve traffic safety in transport exploitation. The system of environmental regulation and standardization has been carried out in all advanced countries such as in the Republic of Uzbekistan, as in other countries, on the scientific basis. The concept of ecosystems consists of a set of different organisms that interact with each other and with the environment in which they operate, taking into account the long-term coexistence of this organic collection. Environmental security is defined as the ability of an individual, society, state, natural resources and the environment to withstand a hidden threat posed by anthropogenic, man-made or natural disasters.

In 2020, the Covid-19 virus has become a global pandemic, which started in the Chinese province of Wuhan and spread around the world, The aim of the present study is to discuss the most important and latest methods of tracking Covid-19 patients and the strategies followed by developed countries in integrating digital technology to control the epidemic, it also covers the most important issues and discusses the difficulties these technologies as well as how people interact with and feel about the use of this type of technology. Among these methods used, are those developed by technology companies in cooperation with telecom companies, such as Covid-19 patient tracking applications that rely on raising case information. These applications have been effective (GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth), as also the most important prevention measures to be followed and symptoms that are likely to appear on infected or carriers of the virus have been announced by global health agencies, which have been accepted all over the world. In this paper we present. A progressive of digital solutions technologies from the methods used to confront COVID-19 since the appearance of the first case used to control and stop the spread of the pandemic and track infected people, to the contemporary technologies in use, depending on the country used for each of these strategies as well, in addition to the most prominent issues that impede these preventive methods. Then there are the advantage and disadvantages of these technologies, by analyzing the different features of contemporary technology in order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, we provide a window of ideas for reviewing technological advances used to reduce and control the spread of the epidemic. Despite the emergence of various studies related to modern technology towards COVID-19, there are still limited applications and contributions of technology in this battle. On-going progress in modern technology has contributed to improving people's lives and hence there is a solid conviction that validated research plans including artificial intelligence will be of significant advantage in helping people to fight this infection.
