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.

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 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.

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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European road safety action programme describes the present situation, the challenges to be met and the courses of action available to the European Union. It also includes a detailed list of around sixty specific measures. It reaffirms the overall objective of halving the number of road accident victims by 2010 (the current figure is 40000 fatalities every year in EU-15). The programme is designed to encourage road users, both private and professional, to behave more responsibly, industry to produce safer vehicles and public authorities to improve road infrastructure. It also provides for the creation of a European Road Safety Observatory within he European Commission. An innovatory aspect of the programme is that it proposes that all parties concerned, public and private, subscribe to a European Road Safety Charter.
