Speeding and seat belt use: experiences from the NetherlandsCharles. Goldenbeld
The document discusses speeding and seat belt enforcement in the Netherlands. It provides details on speed enforcement methods like fixed speed cameras and mobile speed cameras. Research shows speed enforcement can reduce crashes by 18-34% depending on the enforcement method. The document also outlines the legislation around seat belt use in the Netherlands over time. Seat belt use increased from around 70% in 1990 to over 97% today due to enforcement, publicity campaigns like the "Goochem the Armadillo" campaign targeting children, and more comfortable seat belts. The conclusions emphasize an integrated safe systems approach to enforcement combining education, engineering, and credible enforcement.

Improving the Effectiveness of Active Safety Systems to Significantly Reduce Accidents with Vulnerable Road Users
The internet of things project by wilfred ojokOjokWilfred
This document proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) solution to reduce high rates of motor accidents on highways in Uganda. Speed sensors would be mounted along highways to collect data on vehicle speeds and plate numbers, and submit this data to traffic police. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, police at the nearest checkpoint would be alerted. This system aims to reduce accidents, save lives, and minimize traffic disruptions from accidents by enabling real-time police monitoring of speeds. The solution would use a recurring revenue business model and require policies to mandate compliance from all drivers. The goal is to ultimately make traffic accidents a thing of the past on Ugandan highways.

This document discusses the importance of improving road transport enforcement in Europe. It notes that fatigue is a major risk factor, causing 20% of commercial road accidents and 37% of fatal collisions. The document also highlights gaps in EU legislation and enforcement, including a 75% reduction in enforcement resources, big variations between countries, and drops in detection rates. It recommends strengthening enforcement through improved training, higher fines, and better management of fatigue risks.
The document discusses electromobility (e-mobility) and powermatching as key parts of the transition toward cleaner urban mobility and smart energy systems. E-mobility is seen as an important technology for reducing CO2 emissions from transportation. Technical and organizational solutions are needed to deploy e-mobility at large scales and integrate electric vehicles with energy infrastructure. Several pilot projects in the Netherlands aim to increase the number of electric vehicles on the roads and develop smart charging infrastructure. While e-mobility helps reduce emissions, other approaches are still needed to fully optimize urban mobility and energy systems.
IRJET - Smart Vehicle System for Accident PreventionIRJET Journal
This document presents three smart vehicle systems: 1) An automotive night vision system using an infrared camera, display, and Raspberry Pi to provide enhanced visibility at night. 2) A seatbelt alert system using a hall sensor to detect if the driver is wearing a seatbelt and prevents ignition if not. 3) An automated door locking system using ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and prevent doors from opening if an object is detected to avoid accidents. The systems aim to improve safety by addressing issues of nighttime visibility, enforcing seatbelt use, and preventing door-related accidents. Tables provide details on components and performance of each system.

Contributions by Parliamentarians, The European Transport Safety CouncilTowards Zero Foundation
1) Setting targets at the EU level for reducing road deaths by 50% between 2010-2020 has been successful, preventing an estimated 100,000 deaths. Key measures implemented across EU members like mandatory seatbelt and helmet laws, vehicle safety standards, and infrastructure improvements contributed to this progress.
2) However, road safety progress stalled in 2014-2015, with only small reductions or actual increases in annual road deaths, jeopardizing the goal of reaching the 50% reduction target by 2020.
3) More remains to be done, such as strengthening enforcement of existing laws against speeding and drunk driving, further vehicle and infrastructure safety improvements, and implementing specific strategies and targets to reduce serious injuries in addition to deaths.

3. Some facts about cycle safety
■ Cyclist fatalities reach 6% of all the fatalities in EU
countries. In 2005 this amounts to approx. 1200 people for
the EU-14.
■ Apart from general factors (e.g. speed and weight of
motorised vehicles, lack of protection of cyclists) the
main factors for accidents of cyclists are lack of visibility,
vehicle control and alcohol consumption.
■ In countries where people cycle a lot, cyclists in general
have a lower fatality rate.
