Abstract

Nilsson, G., 1984. A review of the traffic safety situation in Sweden with regard to different strategies and methods of evaluating traffic safety measures. Journal of Occupational Accidents, 6: 35-47.In industrialized countries road traffic accidents cause the majority of accidental deaths. The experience from accident and casualty investigations and studies of the effect of traffic safety countermeasures can to some extent be of great value in research on occupational accidents.This paper illustrates problems connected with the evaluation of the effects of countermeasures, problems with accident and casualty statistics, examples from investigations and of the evaluation process in order to describe the benefit of investments to increase road traffic safety in relation to traffic safety strategies in Sweden.
