This open access handbook provides a comprehensive treatment of
Vision Zero, an innovative policy on public road safety developed
in Sweden. Covering all the major topics of the subject, the book
starts out with a thorough examination of the philosophy, ideas and
principles behind Vision Zero. It looks at conditions for the
effectiveness of the policy, principles of safety and
responsibility as well as critique on the policy. Next, the
handbook focuses on how the Vision Zero ideas have been received
and implemented in various legislations and countries worldwide. It
takes into account the way Vision Zero is looked at in the context
of international organizations such as the WHO, the UN, and the
OECD. This allows for a comparison of systems, models and effects.
The third part of the handbook discusses the management and
leadership aspects, including ISO standards, equity issues, other
goals for traffic and transportation, and opportunities for the car
industry. Part four delves into tools, technologies and
organizational measures that contribute to the implementation of
Vision Zero in road traffic. Examples of specific elements
discussed are urban and rural road designs, human factor designs,
and avoiding drunk and distracted driving. The final part of the
handbook offers perspectives on the transfer of Vision Zero policy
to other areas, ranging from air traffic to suicide prevention and
nuclear energy. 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. This is an open access book.
