“…However, the influence of the media on the reduction of road accidents in Spain still remains a question since it has not been properly researched. All communication is, in itself, intentional and, to a greater or lesser degree, has elements of influence and intentionality, and therefore, it has some weight in changing people's attitudes or behaviors [32]. After all, pro-social behavior, also in the traffic sector, is the result of a maturation and learning process that is moldable and modifiable by the subject's primary environment [33,34], as well as cultural and social elements, including the role of the media [35,36].…”

Traffic accidents represent a major problem worldwide. Public and private entities launch communication campaigns in order to educate the population about this problem. The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution of the presence of road safety in the Spanish media and its influence on the reduction of road accidents. A content analysis of six major Spanish newspapers between 2000 and 2008 (an important period in the reduction of the accident rate in Spain) was carried out in which the presence of news related to traffic accidents and the intensity of them were quantified using a set of criteria designed for this study. Furthermore, the correlation between the accident rates and the presence and intensity of news in the same time frame was measured. There has been an evident increase in the news related to traffic accidents during the analyzed period, both in terms of the presence of such news in general and in terms of intensity. The correlation analysis also shows a strong relationship between the increase in news presence and intensity and a sharp fall in accident rates in Spain. Although correlation analysis is not enough to establish a causal relationship between the variables studied here, the findings suggest that informative campaigns had a positive effect on encouraging pro-social behavior, were successful in disseminating related information, and, therefore, contributed significantly to lowering accident rates, although that was not the only reason.

Despite global, regional, and national efforts in reducing the number of road crashes, the number of fatalities from these crashes is increasing globally as well as in Asia. The Asia-Pacific region currently accounts for 60% of global road fatalities. There are wide variations in the number of road fatalities among the regions, subregions, and countries. Within Asia, the South and South-West Asia subregion has the highest fatality rate of 20.3 fatalities per 100,000 population followed by South-East Asia with a fatality rate of 17.8 per 100,000 population. This paper reviews and analyses the road safety situation and implementation of road safety policies and practices in Asian countries. Identified are distinct risk factors that demand priority consideration. Some of the actions suggested for improving road safety in Asia are: Ensuring the availability of accurate road safety data, addressing the challenges of Vulnerable Road Users and powered two-wheelers, changing behaviors of road users and long haul drivers, ensuring safety features in trunk routes, improving infrastructure and facilities for non-motorised and public transport in cities, prioritising safety in rural and remote areas, empowering road safety institutions with accountability, focusing on low-cost solutions, and advocacy and education.

“…Consequently, the definition of traffic safety in the Far North must be carried out taking into account road conditions [3]. It should be noted that the accident rate in the North significantly depends on the behavior of the driver and the technical condition of the car, as well as the transport and operational state of the road, peculiarities of natural and climatic impact on both road conditions and the operation of the car and, in particular, on the behavior of drivers and pedestrians [4]. At the same time, if the number of accidents caused by technical problems of vehicles and unsatisfactory transport and operational state of road decreases every year, then the number of accidents connected with the violation of traffic rules by drivers is steadily increasing.…”

The paper substantiates the need to assess the road safety in the specific conditions of the Far North by means of the analysis of the factors in the “driver-car-road-environment” system. The authors suggest a methodology for assessment of road traffic accidents, which makes it possible to take into account a wide range of factors affecting road accidents. In particular, the simulation takes into account the characteristics of the driver, technical condition of the vehicle, road conditions, weather and climate. Adaptive neural networks based on fuzzy inference systems are used as a tool for road safety assessment. The authors mention the results of statistical studies on a number of variables of the “driver-car-road-environment” system, which make it possible to form membership functions in the fuzzy inference system. The final part of the paper presents the practical results of road safety assessment for various categories of drivers in different road conditions in one of the largest cities in the Far North.
