Progetto per lo sviluppo di un sistema di sorveglianza dei rischi da incidenti stradali in aree urbane

(Project for the development of a survey system for signalling the risk of road accidents in urban areas)

The project started from a statistical analysis of the road accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists, focussing on the urban areas and considering different categories of road users. The project was divided into three parts, the selection of the instruments to study the phenomenon, the evaluation of the potential countermeasures that could be taken from local public administrations in order to prevent such accidents (and how to measure the effect of the countermeasure) and finally a risk assessment for different groups of road users. Please refer to the brochure (in Italian) for details.
