Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Ranking EU progress on car occupant safety

Publication: Brussels : European Transport Safety Council, 2014Series: (PIN Flash Report 27)Notes: Sumario: Around 240,000 car occupants were killed in road collisions in the EU27 in the years 2001-2012. There were 12,345 deaths in cars in 2012 in the EU27 compared with 27,700 in 2011, a cut of 55%. Deaths of car occupants were cut by more than the overall death rate (49%) and substantially more than the rate for other road users (41%). Car occupants have therefore benefitted more than other road users from road safety measures adopted over the past decade. This is not surprising, as many of those measures were targeted at car occupants including increased enforcement of the main traffic offences, improved vehicle occupant protection, and, to a lesser extent, improved infrastructureMateria / lugar / evento: Seguridad vial Accidentes de tráfico Comportamiento humano Infracciones de tráfico Infraestructuras viarias Unión Europea Otros autores: Allsop, Richard
