Book Synopsis Road Traffic and Safety by : Amit Agrawal
Download or read book Road Traffic and Safety written by Amit Agrawal and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road space is shared by multiple vehicles (i.e. cars, taxis, buses, trucks, motorcycles, and mopeds), pedestrians, animals and many other categories of travellers. Easy availability of motor vehicles and advancements in their technology has made road travel easy; on the other hand, this has also resulted in a significant increase in the number of motor vehicle related injuries. Road traffic related injuries remain an important public health problem globally. It has been estimated that approximately 1.25 million people succumb to road traffic injuries annually worldwide, and between 20 and 50 million people sustain non-fatal injuries. It is a cause of great concern that 59% of the severely injured population is young adults aged between the age of 15 and 44 years. At present, globally road traffic injuries are ranked as the eighth leading cause of mortality, and if the current trends continues, it is expected to be the seventh leading cause of mortality at the global level by 2030. Road traffic safety is one of the most significant concerns of the United Nations and a 5-tiered approach has been proposed to combat traffic accidents and fatalities. This includes improvements in health care services focusing on injury care, road safety management, road network safety, vehicular safety, and implementation of road safety legislation. Changes in practices like speed control, use of seatbelts and helmets, respecting traffic signals and signs, avoiding drunken driving (or use of drugs), following traffic rules (lane driving) and avoiding mobile phones while driving are some of the behavioural changes that can bring about a significant reduction in the number of road traffic related injuries. The present book consists of fifteen chapters related to various aspects concerning road traffic and safety, including epidemiology of road traffic injuries, occupant protection and safety devices, risk factors, a manual of safety measures, road safety in hilly terrain and conflict zones, prevention of head injuries, the role of alcohol and bicycle related injuries. The authors hope that the book shall help the readers to get an overview of various aspects related to global road traffic and safety.

Book excerpt: A Choice Road Safety” this book is basically about the road safety rules and why it is important to implement it in your daily life like any other activities we do. I work for road safety for 6 months their I only work but after meeting an accident, I get to know that “One Moment” in which you get to know the value of your precious life or everyone’s life importance. It was a hard collision and unforgettable one. The perspective behind writing this book is to aware all about the road safety rules and Regulation while driving on road. Why is it important to follow these rules not only to escape from being penalized but to be safe and for others sake of safety. I read many books on road safety but we don’t have a proper assistance book on road safety. From there, a thought strikes into my mind to write a book on Road Safety with complete assistance knowledge to all the road users. And soon coming years it will be teach in schools and colleges as subject matter to make the youth aware of it well before riding on road. I write this book to benefit the youth with my small contribution to let them know about the road safety rules and regulation. While driving on road one thing always triggers my mind is only to be aware and attentive on road. Do consider yourself precious and no one can be you except you. And to let others know the value of their precious life, make them learn about the road safety in such a way so that it can get engrossed into people’s blood and it is the only priority while driving to follow the rules. Road users should maintain courtesy on road. Least important one is everyone should know their vehicle in better way and its essential requirements. It is all about Vehicle and Road Safety Rules.

In the last three years, 17 countries have aligned at least one of their laws with best practice on seat-belts, drink-driving, speed, motorcycle helmets or child restraints. While there has been progress towards improving road safety legislation and in making vehicles safer, the report shows that the pace of change is too slow. Urgent action is needed to achieve the ambitious target for road safety reflected in the newly adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: halving the global number of deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes by 2020. Made possible through funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies, this report is the third in the series, and provides a snapshot of the road safety situation globally, highlighting the gaps and the measures needed to best drive progress."--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Traffic Safety and the Driver by : Leonard Evans, Dr
Download or read book Traffic Safety and the Driver written by Leonard Evans, Dr and published by . This book was released on 1991-03-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the classic 1991 text 'Traffic Safety and the Driver', a book that has been described as the bible of traffic safety research. The principles and concepts described in it are as valid as when written. The author's later book 'Traffic Safety' (2004) http: //www.scienceservingsociety.com/traffic-safety.htm revisits many of the same themes, and adds much content not covered here. On the other hand there is much in this book not covered in the later one, such as the celebrated comment on p. 378: "In the era before the birth of experimental science, Greek philosophers thought that nature could be understood by pure thought alone, without the need for data. Nowadays there seem to be people who think that it can be understood with data alone, without the need for thought." Quotes from some of the 28 reviews: It is an easy book to read, the terminology is clear and concise, it is well thought out and written, and in parts comes into the "difficult to put down" category. BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL It is an important text for professionals and individuals interested in the problem of injury resulting from vehicular crashes. JAMA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION) It is a rare pleasure for a reviewer to be able to recommend a book wholeheartedly and unequivocally -- a book that is a delight to read. The joys of the book are both scientific and literary. This is a book for everyone interested in making roads safer. JOURNAL OF TRAFFIC MEDICINE It is rare for a book to land on the Care on the Road desk for review and stay there as an invaluable part of the information library. CARE ON THE ROAD (ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS, UK) It should be compulsory reading for all concerned with the evaluation of traffic safety measures. ERGONOMICS (UK) One of the more refreshing aspects of the book is Evans' willingness to make inferences from the complexities of the research with which he is obviously thoroughly familiar. DRIVER/EDUCATION (CANADA) Risk assessors and managers interested in the contributors to the risks of "everyday living" will find this book especially interesting. RISK ANALYSIS "The problem of traffic crashes," Evans points out, "is much more one of drivers doing things that they know they ought not to do, than of drivers not knowing what to do." THE WILSON QUARTERLY Is an essential reference for the 90's and will prove invaluable to all who work in the field. ISRAEL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES Evans places the raw data in striking contexts. LAW AND SOCIETY REVIEW This book is essential for anyone doing research in traffic safety . . . It is so clearly written that it would be highly appropriate for the general public and for public libraries. ACCIDENT ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION Evans has written a cogent survey of social contributors to car crashes and fatalities. CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY The author has the right credentials for a book such as this. The book presents an impressive array of statistics concerning traffic safety. Many of these statistics will surprise and occasionally amuse. JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONAL RESEARCH SOCIETY (UK) .. is comprehensive, clearly organized, well documented and easy to read. The book is a valuable reference for those working in the field of traffic safety and transportation planning. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION Its comprehensiveness and readability, coupled with its extensive references to the primary literature, make this an excellent starting place for anyone interested in traffic safety research. Chapter 12, entitled "How You Can Reduce Your Risk," is likely to be of wide interest. RISK - ISSUES IN HEALTH & SAFETY Leonard Evans, author of 'Traffic Safety and the Driver', a book that has been referred to as the bible of traffic safety research. DRIVER/EDUCATION NEWSLETTER.
