Review of Road Safety Theories And Models

Abstract

It has been 100 years since the first attempts at trying to explain why road accidents happen. There have been a number of theories and models studying this and road safety has become a field of scientific study. The paper will present how the theories and models of road safety developed and how they are used for road safety management. Four groups of the most advanced theories are distinguished: static theories, causal theories, system and behavioral theories. This division of the theories is followed in the models used for road safety analyses and studies. © 2008, Versita. All rights reserved.
