Work package 5 covers initiatives for interventions of the Public Health Sector to prevent accidents among vulnerable road users.
Aim
Establish a comprehensive view on road injuries and their prevention, improve information and knowledge for the public health sector and tackle inequalities in road safety by identifying priorities for vulnerable road users. It also aims to create a comprehensive decision making model including the entire range of potential intervention options focusing on pedestrian and two wheelers injuries and test the effectiveness of various prevention strategies using decision analysis techniques.
The results from this model as well as from WP3 will be used to implement two specific interventions concerning the prevention of (a) pedestrian injuries among the young (Austria) and (b) injuries among two-wheelers (motorcyclists and cyclists) (Greece), given the high injury toll in the respective participating countries.
Project results - launch of two reports on 13 October, European Road Safety Day
