Summary
Battling serious injuries and long-term consequences in road traffic remains one important issue in the overall goal of resilient future road transport (Vision Zero). Challenges of increasing personal transport in urban areas coupled with autonomous vehicles and shuttles, new mobility devices and the overall need to ensure the safety of vulnerable road users as well as all types of vehicle occupants’ require innovative approaches.
ProtAct-Us project aims at protecting all Road User Groups from serious injury and long-term physical, cognitive and mental health consequences of road crashes through innovatively interlinked research action between medical and engineering methods. ProtAct-Us enables therefore the development of efficient, resilient, inclusive and effective countermeasures as well as post-crash action for all relevant road transport means.
ProtAct-Us will work on the following goals and challenges:
Medical data correlation, standardization and classification of long-term physical, cognitive and mental health consequences of road crashes.
Robust and reliable assessment tools and methods allowing for effective countermeasure development for all road users.
Reduction of long-term consequences and related social cost of road crash related injuries for all road users.
The ProtAct-Us solutions will influence new standards in respect of extending current injury coding system with relevant long-term aspects for physical, cognitive and mental health related injury, allowing new physical, as well as virtual, safety assessment procedures and adaption of rules and regulations to be implemented. Finally, scientifically well-founded suggestion for future implementation into policy, regulatory, and standardization guidelines for an inclusive safety improvement approach for in- as well as post-crash will be provided.
