Safety of vulnerable persons in European road traffic

The scientific paper presents a concrete research carried out by the authors in order to implement some technical concepts, so that those interested in this field can become acquainted with a certain way of presenting the problems related to the safety of vulnerable persons in road traffic. In specialist literature, vulnerable persons in road traffic are persons other than drivers of road vehicles who participate in road traffic (pedestrians, cyclists, persons on scooters, bicycles, mopeds or motorcycles), who are exposed to danger or accidents, whose means of transport or locomotion, two or three-wheeled vehicles, are not fitted with protection or safety systems in the event of collision with other vehicles, falling or overturning. From this scientific paper those interested can gather information on European statistics on road accidents involving vulnerable persons in road traffic in previous years, learn about the safety systems for the protection of vulnerable persons in road traffic that are fitted on current road vehicles, learn about the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders and moped/cycle riders in European urban traffic and about the protection types for vulnerable persons in road traffic according to Euro NCAP requirements. At the end of the research, the case study entitled KilometreGood is discussed, followed by the conclusions drawn on the basis of the researched data.
