In recognition of the importance of road safety as a major health
issue, the World Health Organization has declared 2011-2021 the
Decade of Safety Action. Several countries in Europe, North
America, and Asia have been successful in reducing fatalities and
injuries due to road traffic crashes. However, many low-income
countries continue to experience high rates of traffic fatalities
and injuries. Transport Planning and Traffic Safety: Making Cities,
Roads, and Vehicles Safer offers a source book for road safety
training courses as well as an introductory textbook for
graduate-level courses on road safety taught in engineering
institutes. It brings together the international experiences and
lessons learned from countries which have been successful in
reducing traffic crashes and their applicability in low-income
countries. The content is based on lectures delivered during an
international course on transportation planning and traffic safety,
sponsored annually by the Transportation Research and Injury
Prevention Programme (TRIPP) at the Indian Institute of Technology,
Delhi. The book is interdisciplinary and aimed at professionals
traffic and road engineers, vehicle designers, law enforcers, and
transport planners. The authors examine trends in performance of
OECD countries and highlight the public health and systems approach
of traffic safety with the vulnerable road user in focus. Topics
include land use (transportation planning, mobility, and safety),
safety education and legislation, accident analysis, road safety
research, human tolerance to injury, vehicle design, safety in
construction zones, safety in urban areas, traffic calming, public
transportation, safety laws and policies, and pre-hospital care of
the injured.
