The number of
pedestrians who
were killed in road
traffic accidents
decreased by 39%
from 2001 to 2010.
In the Czech
Republic, Germany,
Ireland and the
United Kingdom, the
decrease has been
higher than 47% from
2001 to 2010.

Pedestrians
In 2010, 6.004 pedestrians were killed in road traffic accidents in the
EU-24, which is 20% of all fatalities. In the last decade in the EU-191
,
pedestrian fatalities have reduced by 39%, while the total number of
fatalities has reduced by more than 42%.
The annual data by country from 2001 to 2010 is presented in Table
1. Figure 1 shows the total number of fatalities for the same time
period.

The proportion of
fatalities who were
pedestrians differs
widely across
Europe.
The proportion of road traffic fatalities in each country who were
pedestrians is shown in Table 3. The proportion is lowest in the
Netherlands (10%), France and Sweden (12% respectively)
compared to Romania, Latvia, Slovakia and Poland with more than
30% (see Figure 3). The EU-24 average is 20%. Luxembourg has not
been taken into account in the analysis for its low national totals.

In three Eastern
European countries -
Romania, Latvia and
Slovakia – more than
one third of all
fatalities were
pedestrians.
The number of
pedestrian fatalities
peaks at the age of
75-79.

Age and gender
The elderly form the largest group in pedestrian fatalities. The
number of elderly (aged >64) pedestrian fatalities decreased by 31%
in the EU-19 between 2001 and 2010, from 3.403 to 2.351, while the
total number of pedestrian fatalities decreased by 38%. The change
in the number of pedestrian fatalities from 2001 to 2010 by age group
is presented in Figure 4.

The proportion of
pedestrian fatalities is
higher for children
and the elderly than
for other age groups.
The proportion of fatalities who were pedestrians is high for children
as well as for the elderly (see Figure 5). A reason for this could be the
lower level of motorization in these age groups. Table 4, Figure 5,
and Figure 6 show that the elderly are a very important group when
dealing with pedestrian road safety.

Although a high percentage of children fatalities were pedestrians,
they only represent 4% of the total of pedestrian fatalities. Moreover,
Figure 6 shows that the fatality rate for children is below the average
(15,0 pedestrian fatalities per million inhabitants). The pedestrian
fatality rate of the elderly is well above average, and rises quickly
from the age of 70 until 85. Table 4 shows the numbers of child and
elderly pedestrian fatalities.

The number of
pedestrian fatalities
per month peaks in
the autumn,
especially in
November, whereas
the overall number of
fatalities peaks in the
summer
Figure 11 shows that pedestrian fatalities are more seasonal than all
fatalities, i.e. the number per month is more variable. The number
increases during the autumn and decreases in the spring, with
highest fatality numbers between October and December; whereas
the peak for the total fatalities is in the summer. The increase in
pedestrian fatalities during the winter is probably caused by the
higher danger for pedestrians in darkness. The time of
darkness/twilight is longer than in other seasons and pedestrians are
much less visible than vehicles - which can use lights. The lowest
pedestrian fatality numbers occur in April, May and June.

The specific critical
event of ‘premature
action’ is recorded for
just over one third of
pedestrians in the
sample.
Accident Causation
During the EC SafetyNet project, in-depth data were collected using a
common methodology for samples of accidents that occurred in
Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and the UK4 5
.
The SafetyNet Accident Causation Database was formed between
2005 and 2008, and contains details of 1.006 accidents covering all
injury severities. A detailed process for recording causation
(SafetyNet Accident Causation System – SNACS) attributes one
specific critical event to each driver, rider or pedestrian. Links then
form chains between the critical event and the causes that led to it.
For example, the critical event of late action could be linked to the
cause observation missed, which was a consequence of fatigue, itself
a consequence of an extensive driving spell.
In the database, 8% (85) of the accidents involve a pedestrian.
Males account for 50% of pedestrians and the mean age is 45 years
old. Figure 12 compares the distribution of specific critical events for
pedestrians with the distribution for drivers/riders when they are in an
accident with a pedestrian involved.
Figure 12: Distribution of specific critical events - pedestrians and driver/riders in pedestrian
accidents

N=176 Date of query: 2010
Premature action is recorded far more frequently for pedestrians than
the drivers/riders in the accident, whilst no action and, in particular,
late action are recorded less frequently. Premature action describes
a critical event with an action started too early, before a signal was
given or required conditions established. This contrast between the
participant groups indicates scenarios where a pedestrian starts an
action too early or without right of way and the drivers/riders react too
late or no action is undertaken, or possible.

16% of the links
between causes are
observed to be
between ‘faulty
diagnosis’ and
‘information failure’.
Table 7 gives the most frequent links between causes for pedestrians
in the dataset. For this group there are 101 such links in total.

Table 7 gives both an indication of the most frequently recorded
causes and the most frequently recorded links between them. The
numbers here are low but the links are similar to those seen for driver
and rider groups in other basic fact sheets, with faulty diagnosis,
observation missed and inadequate plan being the common causes.
Distraction is a factor in pedestrian accidents, leading to missed
observations, decision errors and inadequate plans.

By 2012, thirteen
member states
routinely collected
data in a sample of
hospitals and
contributed them to
the EU injury
Database.
According to
estimates based on
the EU IDB more
than four million
people are injuries
annually in road
traffic accidents, one
million of whom have
to be admitted to
hospital.
ROAD ACCIDENT HEALTH INDICATORS
Injury data can be obtained from a wide range of sources, such as
police and ambulance reports, national insurance schemes, and
hospital records, each of which provides a specific but yet incomplete
picture of the injuries suffered in road accidents. In order to obtain a
comprehensive view of these injuries, the EU Council issued a
Recommendation that urges member states to use synergies
between existing data sources and to develop national injury
surveillance systems rooted in the health sector.6
At present, thirteen
member states are routinely collecting injury data in a sample of
hospitals and delivering these data to the Commission. This system is
called the EU Injury Database (EU IDB).7
Within the EU IDB “transport module” injuries suffered in road
accidents are recorded by “mode of transport”, “role of injured
person” and “counterpart”. These variables can complement
information from police records, in particular for injury patterns and
the improved assessment of injury severity. The indicators used
include the percentage of casualties attending hospital who are
admitted to hospital, the mean length of stay of hospital admissions,
the nature and type of body part injured, and potentially also long
term consequences of injuries.
Figure 13: Distribution of non-fatal road accident casualties attending hospital, by mode of
transport
EU Injury Database (EU IDB AI) - hospital treated patients. IDB AI Transport module and place of
occurrence (code 6.n [public road]); n-all = 73 600: n-admitted = 23.568 (DE, DK, LV, MT, AT, NL,
SE, SI, CY, years 2005-2008).
Figure 13 is based on IDB data from nine countries for accidents that
occurred between 2005 and 2008. Vulnerable road users
(pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles and mopeds) accounted for almost
two thirds (63%) of road accident casualties attending hospital, and
for over half of casualties admitted to the hospital (56%).

About 45% of the
pedestrians
casualties who
attended a hospital
were admitted to the
hospital; their
average stay in
hospital was ten
days.
Figure 14 shows that 45% of pedestrian casualties recorded in the
IDB were admitted to hospital. Figure 15 shows that the average
length of stay was almost eight days overall, and ten days for
pedestrians.

Fractures account for
more than 40% of all
injuries inflicted on
pedestrian traffic
casualties attending
hospital.
Figure 16: Body part injured, by mode of transport
Source: See Figure 13.
Naturally, hospital data can provide information on the injury patterns
sustained by the accident victims. Figure 16 illustrates the distribution
of body parts injured of the various road user types. Pedestrians, for
example, suffer a high proportion of injuries to the lower extremities.
Table 8 shows the types of injuries most frequently recorded in the
EU IDB. It compares the distribution of injuries among pedestrians
and all types of road user.

  • 7. Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2012 DaCoTA | Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport 7 / 22 The proportion of pedestrian fatalities is higher for children and the elderly than for other age groups. The proportion of fatalities who were pedestrians is high for children as well as for the elderly (see Figure 5). A reason for this could be the lower level of motorization in these age groups. Table 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 show that the elderly are a very important group when dealing with pedestrian road safety. Figure 5: Pedestrian fatalities as a percentage of all fatalities by age group, EU-24*, 2010 * Data from 2009 for EE, NI, NL and SE Source: CARE Database / EC Date of query: September 2012 Although a high percentage of children fatalities were pedestrians, they only represent 4% of the total of pedestrian fatalities. Moreover, Figure 6 shows that the fatality rate for children is below the average (15,0 pedestrian fatalities per million inhabitants). The pedestrian fatality rate of the elderly is well above average, and rises quickly from the age of 70 until 85. Table 4 shows the numbers of child and elderly pedestrian fatalities.

Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2012 DaCoTA | Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport 14 / 22 April to June is the period of the year with the lowest number of pedestrian fatalities. The fourth quarter is the peak for pedestrian fatalities. Seasonality Table 6 shows the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in each quarter of 2010. Generally pedestrian fatalities occur most frequently from October to December and least frequently from April to June. The proportion between October and December is especially high in Estonia, Denmark, Latvia, Austria, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. The lowest proportion of pedestrian fatalities occurring between October and December is the one in Greece (27%).

  • 15. Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2012 DaCoTA | Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport 15 / 22 The number of pedestrian fatalities per month peaks in the autumn, especially in November, whereas the overall number of fatalities peaks in the summer Figure 11 shows that pedestrian fatalities are more seasonal than all fatalities, i.e. the number per month is more variable. The number increases during the autumn and decreases in the spring, with highest fatality numbers between October and December; whereas the peak for the total fatalities is in the summer. The increase in pedestrian fatalities during the winter is probably caused by the higher danger for pedestrians in darkness. The time of darkness/twilight is longer than in other seasons and pedestrians are much less visible than vehicles - which can use lights. The lowest pedestrian fatality numbers occur in April, May and June.

  • 16. Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2012 DaCoTA | Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport 16 / 22 The specific critical event of ‘premature action’ is recorded for just over one third of pedestrians in the sample. Accident Causation During the EC SafetyNet project, in-depth data were collected using a common methodology for samples of accidents that occurred in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and the UK4 5 . The SafetyNet Accident Causation Database was formed between 2005 and 2008, and contains details of 1.006 accidents covering all injury severities. A detailed process for recording causation (SafetyNet Accident Causation System – SNACS) attributes one specific critical event to each driver, rider or pedestrian. Links then form chains between the critical event and the causes that led to it. For example, the critical event of late action could be linked to the cause observation missed, which was a consequence of fatigue, itself a consequence of an extensive driving spell. In the database, 8% (85) of the accidents involve a pedestrian. Males account for 50% of pedestrians and the mean age is 45 years old. Figure 12 compares the distribution of specific critical events for pedestrians with the distribution for drivers/riders when they are in an accident with a pedestrian involved. Figure 12: Distribution of specific critical events - pedestrians and driver/riders in pedestrian accidents Source: SafetyNet Accident Causation Database 2005 to 2008 / EC N=176 Date of query: 2010 Premature action is recorded far more frequently for pedestrians than the drivers/riders in the accident, whilst no action and, in particular, late action are recorded less frequently. Premature action describes a critical event with an action started too early, before a signal was given or required conditions established. This contrast between the participant groups indicates scenarios where a pedestrian starts an action too early or without right of way and the drivers/riders react too late or no action is undertaken, or possible. 4 SafetyNet D5.5, Glossary of Data Variables for Fatal and Accident Causation Databases 5 SafetyNet D5.8, In-Depth Accident Causation Database and Analysis Report 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Premature action No action Prolonged distance Skipped action Late action Prolonged action/movement Shortened distance Surplus speed Insufficientspeed Other Proportion of accidentparticipants SpecificCriticalEvent pedestrians n=90 driver/riders in ped acc n=86

The numbers here are low but the links are similar to those seen for driver and rider groups in other basic fact sheets, with faulty diagnosis, observation missed and inadequate plan being the common causes. Distraction is a factor in pedestrian accidents, leading to missed observations, decision errors and inadequate plans.
  • 18. Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2012 DaCoTA | Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport 18 / 22 By 2012, thirteen member states routinely collected data in a sample of hospitals and contributed them to the EU injury Database. According to estimates based on the EU IDB more than four million people are injuries annually in road traffic accidents, one million of whom have to be admitted to hospital. ROAD ACCIDENT HEALTH INDICATORS Injury data can be obtained from a wide range of sources, such as police and ambulance reports, national insurance schemes, and hospital records, each of which provides a specific but yet incomplete picture of the injuries suffered in road accidents. In order to obtain a comprehensive view of these injuries, the EU Council issued a Recommendation that urges member states to use synergies between existing data sources and to develop national injury surveillance systems rooted in the health sector.6 At present, thirteen member states are routinely collecting injury data in a sample of hospitals and delivering these data to the Commission. This system is called the EU Injury Database (EU IDB).7 Within the EU IDB “transport module” injuries suffered in road accidents are recorded by “mode of transport”, “role of injured person” and “counterpart”. These variables can complement information from police records, in particular for injury patterns and the improved assessment of injury severity. The indicators used include the percentage of casualties attending hospital who are admitted to hospital, the mean length of stay of hospital admissions, the nature and type of body part injured, and potentially also long term consequences of injuries. Figure 13: Distribution of non-fatal road accident casualties attending hospital, by mode of transport EU Injury Database (EU IDB AI) - hospital treated patients. IDB AI Transport module and place of occurrence (code 6.n [public road]); n-all = 73 600: n-admitted = 23.568 (DE, DK, LV, MT, AT, NL, SE, SI, CY, years 2005-2008). Figure 13 is based on IDB data from nine countries for accidents that occurred between 2005 and 2008. Vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles and mopeds) accounted for almost two thirds (63%) of road accident casualties attending hospital, and for over half of casualties admitted to the hospital (56%). 6 OJ C 164/1, 18.7.2007 7 https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/sanco/heidi/index.php/IDB
