The sustainable safety approach to Road Transport and Mobility

ECTRI
January 2009

This paper aims to elaborate on one of the four important areas of ERTRAC, namely Safety; whereas taking into account its impact to the other three priority areas, namely Urban Mobility, Long distance transport, Energy and Environment. It provides the collective views of several Research and Policy stakeholders in the area.
The paper was initiated as an answer to the EC request on research priorities and agendas input for the Research Workprogrammes of 2010/2011 and is triggered also by the aim of these calls (based on draft Call text), which is solely on energy and environment related issues. The above stakeholder groups consider Safety as an interconnected issue to the environmental issues and as an equally important priority and want to emphasize with this input to the EC (DG’s RESEARCH, INFSO and TREN) that Safety-related Research should not be abandoned or even minimized in the next 3 years (2009-2011) European Research Agenda for economic, societal and even environmental protection reasons.
