Traffic Safety Research

Aims & Scope

The Traffic Safety Research (TSR) interdisciplinary journal has the overarching aim to contribute to the global shift towards the Safe System within road transportation.

The journal publishes results from high-quality research in engineering, psychology, sociology, economics, medicine, political sciences, and other fields relevant for explaining and addressing road traffic casualties.

Proactive methods and analyses as well as multidisciplinary views on traffic safety problems are encouraged.

The TSR's topics cover (but are not limited to): • system analysis and policy research related to road safety • in-depth exploration and causal explanation of accident mechanisms • behaviour and attitudes in traffic related to safety • safety of specific groups in traffic, such as cyclists, pedestrians, children or elderly • medical, economical, psychological and other consequences of accidents • methodological development covering a wide palette of methods such as accident modelling, in-depth investigations, data linkage, self-reporting, surrogate measures of safety, behavioural observations and naturalistic studies, virtual reality, micro-simulations, etc. • innovative approaches and explorative studies that bring in new theoretical insights or explanatory mechanisms (even if based on smaller datasets) • development and evaluation of road traffic safety counter-measures • state-of-the-art knowledge summaries and literature reviews.
