Firstly, determine the mortality rate for: pregnant women; fetuses and neonates, due to motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) during pregnancy; and secondly, the rate of major injuries among pregnant women and the rate of involvement of pregnant women in crashes.
A national population-based, retrospective descriptive study.
Sweden, 1991-2001. Population. Al...
The fundament of Swedish road safety work is Vision Zero, a strategic approach towards a safe system where no one is at risk of getting fatally or severely injured while using the road transport system. In order to implement the vision and to maintain progress, an interim target has been set up for the year 2020 by the Swedish parliament. The inter...
This paper presented a part of results from an ongoing project for pedestrian protection, which is carried out at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. A validated pedestrian mathematical model was used in this study to simulate vehicle-pedestrian impacts. A large number of simulations have been carried out with various parameters. The injur...

... This accounts for 13% of the nation's total traffic fatalities and 5% of injuries (FARS, NASS, GES). The proportion of pedestrian fatalities is a great concern in many other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan [1]. ...

... VZ is the long-term goal of road safety policy, which states that 'no one should be killed or seriously injured as a result of traffic accidents within the road transport system' [14] (Since 1998, two consecutive 10-year short-term interim targets have been used to supplement the overarching goal [15]). According to the government, no number above zero is, thus, an acceptable outcome in the long run. ...
... In our review, the most common type of injury (74.4 %) was motor vehicle crashes (MVC).This finding is corresponding parallel to a national population-based study by Kvarnstrand et al that estimated the overall incidence rate of MVC during pregnancy is high, at around 207 cases per 100,000 pregnancies [35]. In the United States, the annual crash rate for pregnant women has been estimated as at least 13 per 1,000 person-years as compared to 26 crashes per 1,000 person-years among non pregnant women [36]. ...
