Summary:Internationally, road fatalities and injury are a massive public health, social, economic and transport problem that road safety strategies are developed to counteract. This thesis aimed to investigate and improve the applicability, responsiveness, efficiency and effectiveness of these strategies.

The framework is based on safety and system theory, principles and practice.
