Abstract

Transports are transmission belt of economies of different Countries. The time is the key variable, hence the economic finalism of transports that now is a theme of economic policy. The road transport sector, passengers and goods, is still a dominant sector that needs to be regulated in a market logic under the safety constraint understood in a system logic: infrastructure-vehicle-driver. The safety factor, understood as road and job safety, remains centered on the policies of intervention related to driver, whereas the most accidents in fact are due to factors related to human error and they cost in terms of social cost about 30 billion per year. The drivers' safety of commercial vehicles, professional vehicles, is a "human capital" that is little explored and that must be preserved.
