The Safe System Approach and technology-what works?

The Safe System Approach is an evidence-based strategy committed to eliminating fatalities and serious injuries among all road users. The Safe System Approach as developed in Sweden, acknowledges that human errors will occur, but the cost of these mistakes should not be death or serious injury. Technology is an integral component of the Safe System Approach and can address equity and reduce human error among other safety benefits. A literature review will be conducted to compare high-income countries leveraging the Safe System Approach and assess opportunities for technology interventions in low- and middle-income contexts. Evidence will be analyzed, as well as implementation considerations of the recent National adoption of the Safe System Approach in the United States. As SSA evolves in a global context, further evaluation is needed on the role of technology and how government policies can restrict or advance its implementation.
