The Vision Zero Handbook: Theory, Technology and Management for a Zero Casualty Policy
Editat de Karin Edvardsson Björnberg, Matts-Åke Belin, Sven Ove Hansson, Claes Tingvallen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 13 iul 2022
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.
