Education
The goal of Delft Road Safety Courses (DRSC) is capacity building of road safety professionals working for the government, the private sector, civil society and research institutions in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). DRSC aims to broaden and deepen the understanding and scientific knowledge of participants on risks of crashes and injuries in road traffic and in road safety management.
TU Delft Road Safety Online Course is run by experts in engineering and the human factors. By linking road engineering concepts and human behavior theories, this course will enable you to design safer roads, develop better road safety plans and policies and ensure the presence of the human factor in both policy and design. This course has been designed by the traffic safety experts of the Transport and Planning Department of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
The Lund Traffic Safety Academy offers education for safety practitioners and academics. Its curriculum is firmly rooted in the Safe System approach and draws extensively on Sweden’s experience with Vision Zero—both as a political objective and a practical working method. The academy is hosted by Lund University and brings together some of Sweden’s leading experts and educators.
The Vision Zero Academy was established by the Swedish Transport Administration in 2019. It has the overall purpose to spread knowledge about Vision Zero and support and collaborate with different stakeholders around the world in their strive for safe road transport systems.
In September each year, it arranges a week-long Vision Zero International Course in Sweden.
Research funding
Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) funding is normally based on open Calls for proposals, which are announced at the VREF web site and sometimes also through other channels. VREF´s calls for proposals are based upon an analysis of which areas are particularly important and where research and/or educational activities can make the biggest difference.
All proposals are reviewed by the VREF Scientific Council, and sometimes also by expert evaluators assigned by VREF.
Open Access journals
DOAJ is a unique and extensive index of diverse open access journals from around the world, driven by a growing community, committed to ensuring quality content is freely available online for everyone.
The JRS accepts papers from all countries and regions around the world and publishes a diverse range of high-quality papers on road safety from researchers, policymakers, program implementers, and other road safety experts. The JRS provides anyone interested in road safety with a rich source of current knowledge, evidence, developments, and best practice in road safety implementation.
Traffic Safety Research (TSR) is an international interdisciplinary peer-reviewed Open Access scientific journal. It was founded in 2021 with the overarching aim to contribute to the global shift towards the Safe System within road transportation.
