Download or read book The Vision Zero Handbook written by Karin Edvardsson Björnberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 1233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access handbook provides a comprehensive treatment of Vision Zero, an innovative policy on public road safety developed in Sweden. Covering all the major topics of the subject, the book starts out with a thorough examination of the philosophy, ideas and principles behind Vision Zero. It looks at conditions for the effectiveness of the policy, principles of safety and responsibility as well as critique on the policy. Next, the handbook focuses on how the Vision Zero ideas have been received and implemented in various legislations and countries worldwide. It takes into account the way Vision Zero is looked at in the context of international organizations such as the WHO, the UN, and the OECD. This allows for a comparison of systems, models and effects. The third part of the handbook discusses the management and leadership aspects, including ISO standards, equity issues, other goals for traffic and transportation, and opportunities for the car industry. Part four delves into tools, technologies and organizational measures that contribute to the implementation of Vision Zero in road traffic. Examples of specific elements discussed are urban and rural road designs, human factor designs, and avoiding drunk and distracted driving. The final part of the handbook offers perspectives on the transfer of Vision Zero policy to other areas, ranging from air traffic to suicide prevention and nuclear energy. Vision Zero is a public road safety policy including both a long-term goal that no one shall be killed or seriously injured as a consequence of accidents in road traffic and a safety principle stating that the design and function of the road transport system shall be adapted to meet the requirements that follow from that goal. It is a new road safety paradigm which has resulted in new types of responsibilities among stakeholders, technological innovations, and new strategies and organizational measures to achieve a safe system. The road safety work based on Vision Zero has shown promising results, and although Sweden has not yet reached a safe system, the number of fatalities and severe injuries has decreased substantially. This is an open access book.
Download or read book European Status Report on Road Safety written by Francesco Zambon and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2009 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the status of road safety in the WHO European Region and provides a baseline assessment of how far 49 countries have come in implementing the recommendations of the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention. In the Region, road crashes result annually in 120,000 deaths, 2.4 million injuries and a great economic burden, which may be up to 3% of a country's gross domestic product. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among people 5-29 years old. Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and users of motorized two-wheelers constitute 39% of all road traffic injury fatalities, with pedestrians being more at risk in the eastern part of the Region. Countries differ greatly in mortality rates for road traffic injuries; the average in low- and middle-income countries is twice that in high-income countries. Countries policy responses in providing road safety for their citizens have differed. This report proposes the following areas of action: narrow the gap between countries with the lowest and highest mortality rates; provide better protection for vulnerable road users; develop a well-resourced multisectoral road safety strategy in each country; design and enforce comprehensive legislation; and develop and implement healthier transport policies. In addition, country profiles on the current status of road safety are presented for the 49 participating countries.
Download or read book EU at the Steering Wheel of Road Safety written by European Commission. Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Road safety is a major priority for the EU, and since 1994 the EU has invested over EUR 500 million in road safety research. This brochure offers a snapshot of European road safety research, and explains how the results of EU-funded projects are already helping cut the numbers of deaths and injuries on our roads. The projects profiled cover all aspects of road safety, including studies into the causes of accidents, the development of better crash test dummies, research on child safety, driver behaviour studies, and research into the best road layouts and road infrastructures. In addition, many projects involve the design of novel technologies to prevent accidents from happening in the first place, or reduce the impact of accidents when they cannot be avoided. Meanwhile, many of the projects featured are still in their early stages, so this brochure gives an exciting insight into the state of the art in road safety research and provides a glimpse of the road safety technologies and systems we can expect to see on our roads in the coming next years."--Editor.
Download or read book Safe and Sustainable Transport A Matter of Quality Assurance written by European Conference of Ministers of Transport and published by Conference. This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road safety is generally a mixture of three components, namely, the road, the vehicle and the driver, or, as also referred to by the ECMT, the infrastructure, the vehicle and human behaviour. Promotion of road safety is more and more possible only through a larger scope of interest -- environment, sustainability, and quality of life. In the future, an efficient road transport system should provide a safe and sustainable accessibility. The idea of organising a seminar came from a presentation by a Swedish representative of the "Vision Zero" programme, adopted by the Swedish Parliament in autumn 1997. The basic idea of "Vision Zero" is that no person should be killed or seriously and permanently impaired in a road traffic accident. At the invitation of the Czech authorities, the seminar was held in March 2002 in Prague. Many governmental and non governmental organisations responsible for road safety policies and work participated in the event.
Download or read book Preparatory Work for an EU Road Safety Strategy 2020 2030 written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Commission is preparing an EU road safety strategy for the period 2020 to 2030 and towards zero deaths by 2050. It has commissioned preparatory work carried out by Jeanne Breen Consulting in partnership with SWOV and Loughborough University’s Design School to assist in this process. The Commission set three objectives to be addressed: 1) assess the outcome of the road safety policy framework to 2017, building on the interim evaluation carried out in 2015; 2) consider current and future changes in mobility and its consequences and challenges in relation to road safety; and 3) assist in the preparation of the EU road safety framework for 2020-2030. The preparatory work comprised: - a systematic, high-level scan of activity to date within the framework of Policy Orientations across good practice road safety management dimensions of results, interventions and institutional management; - an assessment of future prospects based on a review of emerging social and mobility trends; increased ambition for better road safety results; increasing adoption of the Safe System approach internationally; increasing scope of institutional delivery and opportunities for aligning with other societal objectives. - proposals for a Towards Zero strategy 2020-2030 around a new road safety performance framework and enhanced delivery mechanisms.

Download or read book Managing and Organizing Comprehensive Highway Safety in Europe written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective development and implementation of a roadway strategic safety plan typically require the coordination of a variety of safety elements, funding sources, and people. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom to investigate management and organization of comprehensive highway safety programs. The U.S. delegation observed that the countries view highway safety as a public health or quality of life issue and base safety decisions on a common philosophy. The countries take a proactive approach to highway safety that includes a fully integrated and nationally accepted plan with measurable fatality and injury reduction targets. The scanning team's recommendations for U.S. application include developing a national safety plan with achievable safety improvement targets, creating a safety performance incentive program, and implementing a demonstration project involving corridor or area-wide safety improvements.
Download or read book Infrastructure and Safety in a Collaborative World written by Evangelos Bekiaris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-02 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates how, and which, forgiving road environments (FOR) and self-explaining road measures (SER) will contribute to increasing road safety and also increase network efficiency on the road. It presents both the general approach and the methodology for generating the possible FOR and SER measures. The book further discusses the prioritization and the testing methodologies, as well as the designing VMS methodology. The next parts of the book present a few important examples: lane departure warning systems; intelligent speed adaptation systems and perception enhancement studies; designs of European pictorial signs, e.g. for VMS but also examples of designs of European road wordings; and finally how personalization can take place of VMS signs and wordings for the individual driver. The last part shows the final evaluation of FOR and SER, and detailed Multiple Criterion Analysis and Cost Benefit Analyses are performed on a number of FOR and SER measures. This results in the development of a set of guidelines, conclusions and recommendations for the future.
