Safety CaUsation, Benefits and Efficiency (SafetyCube)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

The objective of SafetyCube is to develop an innovative road safety Decision Support System (DSS) that will enable policy-makers and stakeholders to select and implement the most appropriate strategies, measures and cost-effective approaches to reduce casualties of all road user types and all severities.At the core of the project will be a novel and comprehensive analysis of accident causation fac ...

Traffic Safety Cultures and the Safe Systems Approach – Towards a Cultural Change Research and Innovation Agenda for Road Safety (TraSaCu)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Traffic Safety Culture (TraSaCu) aims at developing a cultural approach in road traffic safety research and accident prevention. Traditional approaches to traffic safety shall be complemented by a cultural perspective which has emerged recently in safety research and prevention. Safety culture has been identified as an important factor of road safety as it helps understanding and explaining the ty ...

eUropean naturalistic Driving and Riding for Infrastructure & Vehicle safety and Environment (UDRIVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Road transport is indispensable for the exchange of goods and persons, but at the same time has severe negative consequences, among others related to road safety and environment. In order to meet EU targets, both the number of road crashes and vehicle emission levels need to be reduced substantially. For identifying the next generation of measures that will enable us to actually reach these target ...

Road safety Data Collection, Transfer and Analysis (DACOTA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Evidenced based approaches lie at the heart of the most successful road safety polices and accident and other road safety data is a key component. No single set of data can support all road safety questions and the European Road Safety Observatory has been developed as a focus for a range of data and information types. One part of the Observatory includes a series of data protocols and collection ...

Integrated system for safe transportation of children to school (SAFEWAY2SCHOOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Between 1994 and 2001, 361 children were injured or killed during transportation to/from their school in Sweden, whereas 455 were killed or injured in Austria only in 2007 and 97 were killed in Italy in 2005. In a single school bus accident in Greece in 2003, 20 children lost their lives. Different as the above numbers may be, they all tell us one thing: Crashes involving school buses and crashes ...

2-WHEELER BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY (2-BE-SAFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Powered Two Wheeler (PTW) users are greatly over-involved in serious and fatal crashes. They have between 5 and 25 times the risk of having a fatal crash compared to car drivers, depending on the country. The number of PTWs on European roads has more than doubled over the last two decades. The recent MAIDS (Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study) study of PTW crashes in Europe found that behavioural ...

Promoting real life Observations for Gaining Understanding of road behaviour in Europe (PROLOGUE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

"The number of road fatalities in Member States is decreasing too slowly to meet the EU-targets. A new generation of measures is needed, underpinned by a new generation of research methods. Recent technology developments allow for this: naturalistic observations. This means that road user behaviour is observed unobtrusively in a natural setting for a longer period of time. This technique allows fo ...

“Improved methodology for data collection on accidents and disabilities – Integration of European Injury Statistics” (INTEGRIS)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

"The implementation of a prevention-oriented injury surveillance in the EU is a major demand towards the Member States in the recent “EC Council Recommendations on the prevention of injury and the promotion of safety”. Needed in particular are valid and reliable indicators for the array of external causes of injury morbidity, like involved activities, products and mechanisms, and for the most seve ...
