The Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and Centre Européend’Etudesde Sécuritéet d’Analysedes Risques(CEESAR) have conducted a detailed analysis of road accident statistics in Europe. The study, which was prepared jointly by TRL, CEESAR and the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), aims to identify and implement appropriate vehicle safety systems for future application. The methodology involved evaluating eight measures, including improved front end design, intelligent speed adaptation, and side impact crash tests. The study defines the casualty target populations for each measure and provides data on the effectiveness of these measures in reducing accidents and fatalities. The results of this analysis will inform decision making in the automotive industry and among authorities to maintain the trend of improved road safety in Europe.
