KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Zero deaths is the most rational long-term safety target
‘Eradication philosophy’ makes a lot of sense. It is the type of approach that can lead us further than just
intermediate targets or simply trying to make things a bit better every year. Vision Zero should be seen as the
management tool for road safety in a modern society. The success and outcomes of this approach in Sweden
will be discussed as well as some of the products and innovations that have resulted.
