Research project MD/DD/09 (Research action MD)
Objectives
Scientific goals
. description of increasing incompatibility between mobility and life-environment, by completing data about unsafeness.
. reach a framework for understanding the concept of ‘traffic-unsafeness’
. situating the components ‘traffic-safety’ and ‘traffic-livability’ of the mobility-policy within the framework of Sustainable Development.
. development of a methodology for evaluating the traffic-livability
Social goals
. completing and improving data about traffic-unsafeness
. stimulating a public debate about traffic-unsafeness
. open the discussion on subjective traffic-unsafeness and traffic-unlivability
Policy goals
. improving, making manageable and completing the basic data about traffic-unsafeness
. constructing measuring-instruments that are able to produce a complete image of the traffic-unsafeness
. developing and instrument for evaluating the traffic-unlivability
. handing policy goals for a traffic safety policy which can be linked to sustainable development

Link to Sustainable Development
The traffic-unsafeness and the traffic-unlivability are clearly very threatening elements. Traffic-safety appears to be one of the most important factors in the feeling of safety among citizens.
Probably traffic-unlivability is less known among policy makers, nevertheless it’s a very real problem. This project wants to make some progress in this subject.
By means of conclusion, this research will put emphasis on the impact of this kind of unsafety. The physical impact, as well as the psychological impact will be paid a close attention. While being a very import factor, until now the psychological impact has
