Abstract
The declared objective of the European Commission was to halve the number of traffic fatalities in the period from 2001 to 2010 [European Commission, 2001]. With a decrease of 44% this goal could not completely be achieved (see Fig. 1). Consequently, the goal was renewed and adjusted for the period from 2011 to 2020 in [European Commission, 2010] and new strategic objects based on the current “3rd road safety action programme” (RSAP) are derived to propose new actions for the subsequent RSAP. The aim for 2020 is to “halve the overall number of road deaths in the European Union by 2020 starting from 2010”.
