The model for a safe road transport system was found useful to classify fatal and serious road vehicle crashes. It was possible to classify 90 percent of the crashes according to the safety road transport model. For all these cases it was possible to identify weaknesses and parts of the road transport system with the highest potential to prevent fatal and serious injuries. Injury outcomes were mostly related to an interaction between the 3 components: the road, the vehicle, and the road user.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
