Integrated safety systems – the approach toward sustainable transport

Continuously growing mobility which has been observed from many decades means that societies are increasingly More affected by the negative aspects of transport such as: accidents, emissions, vibration and noise causing social, Economic and environmental problems. With about 1.3 million people killed in transport each year and accident costs Exceeding EUR 200 billion in the European Union (more than the European Commission’s annual budget), there is an urgent need for action in the area of transport safety. There are also estimates suggesting that transport causes half of today’s environmental pollution. The aim of this article is to present an idea of transport safety integration as a modern and effective approach toward sustainable transport which should be implemented on the European level.
