The VRU data report and the evaluation report of an intervention on the prevention of child pedestrian injuries in Austria were launched on 13 October, European Road Safety Day. The Press release is available here
Good and promising interventions for the prevention of injuries to pedestrians and two-wheelers - Inventory and guidebook for the health sector
The aim of this report is to build common knowledge on what is known to work in injury prevention when targeting vulnerable road users and falls in pedestrians (“inventory”), and to guide politicians, administrators and other stakeholders in the public health sector in the implementation of policies and practices (“policy guide”).

Injuries to vulnerable road users and falls in pedestrians in the EU
The first main aim of this study was to give a comprehensive view on injuries to VRU including FiP in the EU and to identify data gaps through the combination of different databases of data of the health and traffic sector.
Secondly, on behalf of tailor made injury prevention measures injuries to twowheelers and pedestrians should be analysed in regards to sex, age, injury mechanism and type of injury. Finally a feasible method should be developed to improve the routine reporting on injuries to VRU in the EU in the future.

Traffic and the Risk of Vehicle-Related Pedestrian Injury: A Decision Analytic Support Tool
A decision analytic support tool was developed to estimate the effect of alternative transport scenarios on the risk of vehicle pedestrian injury. The tool includes four sub- models: traffic dynamics, pedestrian dynamics, collision incidence and injury severity.
The tool was used to estimate the pedestrian injury rate for a baseline scenario, corresponding to current traffic conditions in London, and three alternative scenarios.
