  • About
Safe mobility is clearly linked to transport sustainability, as fatalities and injuries resulting from people engaged with transport networks increasingly becomes a public health concern, relative to other health threats. This volume presents the current state of the knowledge across a multitude of analytical and context specific transport safety areas. It includes a comprehensive set of chapters authored by many of the world’s leading experts in both behavioural and engineering aspects of safety mobility. 

The book increases the level of knowledge on road safety contexts, issues and challenges; shares what can currently be done to address the variety of issues; and points to what needs to be done to make further gains in road safety.

    Civil engineers, transportation researchers, and political scientists review what is currently known about global road safety in both academic and practical realms. They cover challenges and solutions in driver behavior, transport networks, and vulnerable road users; methods for understanding and predicting safety performance; and methods for evaluating safety impacts of countermeasures. Among their topics are driver education and licensing, rural and urban intersections, real-time traffic safety and operation, time-series regression models for analyzing transport safety data, and meta-analytic methods.
