| Abstract: | The mortality and morbidity from road traffic accidents are increasing annually in nearly all the developed countries. Whereas transport statisticians are able to show a reduction in road accident casualties in relation to the total number of motor vehicles, to the estimated annual number of kilometers driven, to traffic density and to various other criteria; public health authorities point out that the total number of deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents continues to increase and to become more and more important in the overall public health problem. It is likely that the worldwide annual number of deaths from road traffic accidents will reach a quarter of a million and the number of injuries exceed 10 million within a very few years. |
