Road Traffic Burden 2/2
WHO expects that by 2020 Road Traffic is 3rd largest contributor to burden
of disease and injury
=> No action will increase burden by 60 % from today

Conclusion
• The design for cars to meet real life safety requires basic research
• A fundamental part of this must be Accident Research, which helps to
understand Accident Causation and Injury Causation/Mechanism
• During design, advanced tools like THUMS can help increasing protection
potential beyond traditional borders
• It is important re-confirm the effect after each improvement cycle
