Abstract
The road transport system is a non-forgiving man-made machine system that in the long run must be redesigned so that it will not generate one of the largest public health problems in society. In order to focus on the necessary steps to be taken, a long-term target must be formulated and a model constructed, showing how an intrinsically safe traffic system can be developed.
The “zero vision”, implying a road transport system without serious health losses, is a fundamental part of a development process for the future, as it states that no accident shall generate higher mechanical forces than the human body can tolerate without health losses. This makes it possible to develop a multidimensional model for safe mobility. Such a model is presented schematically in this paper.
