“…The safe system approach attempts to design the system in such a way that the impact of human errors on road accidents is as low as possible (Hagenzieker et al 2014). In a safe system approach, in addition to the main factors affecting road accidents, the role of secondary and other factors must be considered (Hagenzieker et al 2014). Driving too fast was frequently judged as a secondary contributing factor for road accidents.…”

“…A review on safety should require a dedicated paper. Here, we refer to some general papers [215][216][217][218][219][220][221][222][223][224][225] and identify possible actions and policies that can improve road safety. Actions and policies to improve road safety can be classified into three broad categories: Infrastructure actions, vehicle actions, and user actions.…”

In this paper, a review of the main actions and policies that can be implemented to promote sustainable mobility is proposed. The work aims to provide a broad, albeit necessarily not exhaustive, analysis of the main studies and research that from different points of view have focused on sustainable mobility. The structure of the paper enables the reader to easily identify the topics covered and the studies related to them, so as to guide him/her to the related in-depth studies. In the first part of the paper, there is a preliminary analysis of the concept of sustainable mobility, the main transport policies implemented by the European Union and the USA, and the main statistical data useful to analyze the problem. Next, the main policies that can promote sustainable mobility are examined, classifying them into three topics: Environmental, socio-economic, and technological. Many of the policies and actions examined could be classified into more than one of the three categories used; for each of them, there is a description and the main literature work on which the topic can be analyzed in more detail. The paper concludes with a discussion on the results obtained and the prospects for research.

“…In this regard, in Sweden, the concept of Vision Zero has been applied, and the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are following the strategy of 'Tomorrow's roads-safer for everyone' as a line of further action [76]. Under the justifiable road safety vision, five points are focused on: roads usage, formation of speed and direction, certainty in road user behavior with reference to standard based road design, environmental impact, and knowledge level the road user [77][78][79]. In addition to that, road safety data quality and historic data During the analysis of motorways and highways, the identification of hazardous road locations and blackspots provides an opportunity to improve road safety conditions of the areas [61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Road infrastructure sustainability is directly associated with the safety of human beings. As a transportation engineer and policymaker, it is necessary to optimize the funding mechanism for road safety improvement by identifying problematic road segments. Infrastructure improvement is one of the key targets for efficient road safety management. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique has been applied in combination with a geographical information system (GIS) to evaluate the risk level of problematic segments of a 100 km-long motorway (M-2) section. Secondly, the cross efficient method has been used to rank the risky segments for prioritization and distribution of funding to improve the road safety situation. This study will help in efficiently identifying the risky segments for safety improvement and budget allocation prioritization. GIS map will further improve the visualization and visibility of problematic segments to easily locate the riskiest segments of the motorway.
