Overview

The focus of this book is to present some of the latest aspects in the area of mobility and its relation to planning of an optimal traffic safety. The topic of the book ""How to reduce the global burden of traffic injuries"" is dealt with by scientists, medical practitioners as well as private and public policy makers in contributions such as building a safe community, the cost-outcome analysis multidimensional model for nihilating injuries, and insurance experiences. Realizing that the problems of traffic safety are complex, this volume integrates the knowledge from different fields dealing with primary prevention of traffic injury. The contributions of this volume demonstrate the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in an effort to improve various prevention programs aiming at reducing mortality, morbidity, disability and handicap in the traffic.
