Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been an increase in the world's economic and business development. In many cities, there has been a large increase in the number of road users and, therefore, traffic levels have increased. Despite the declining accident trends and the improvement in road safety that has been ongoing for several years, this level can and should be continuously improved. The rate of improvement in the area of road safety is too slow in relation to both the safest countries in Europe and the world as a whole.
The number of vehicles in use is steadily increasing, which contributes to an increase in the number of accidents and which entails an increase in injuries and fatalities, as well as the social costs of road accidents. The number of accidents is also influenced by the state of the road infrastructure, the length of motorways, or the capacity of existing junctions. A key influence on the number of accidents is also exerted by the road users themselves, who do not respect the rules in force.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the fields of:
- Strategic action lines for traffic safety by 2030;
- Road traffic organization;
- Road traffic safety system;
- Traffic research and control;
- Social costs of road accidents;
- Safe road infrastructure;
- Unprotected road users;
- Pedestrian traffic safety;
- Cycle traffic safety;
- Safe public transport system;
- Logistics and transport of dangerous goods;
- Psychological factors in road safety.
