Towards road safety measures that take into account the diversity of vulnerable road users

Recommended participation
The downward trend in the number of traffic fatalities has been slowing in recent years. Future safety measures will require more detailed consideration, and understanding the causes of traffic accidents will become more important. A similar trend is seen in accidents involving vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians. When considering safety measures, one characteristic of vulnerable road users is that there is greater diversity in their driving performance and behavioral characteristics than in cases of vehicle-to-vehicle accidents, making it even more important to understand their actual situation. This forum will provide topics that focus on understanding the characteristics of diverse vulnerable road users and the current status of consideration of safety measures, with a view to understanding the actual situation in order to further promote safety measures for vulnerable road users.
