Decrease the number of accidents and related injuries and deaths
DEBUNKING A MYTH
In Venice first presentation of 11 projects on road safety. The central committee of road haulage contractors - at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation - has promoted and funded 11 projects converging on a single objective: "to road safety as a system." The presentation took place today in Venice at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini is the first of a series of inter-regional seminars which will lead to disseminate the results of various surveys in several Italian cities such as Genoa, Florence, Ancona, Salerno and Palermo.
the conference / round table attended by numerous authorities of Venice, as the Councillor for Mobility for the City of Venice Henry Mingardi, President of the Central Committee Roll Haulage Lipsis Raffaele de Maria, the Head of Studies, Research and Security of the Central Committee Rocco Giordano, Director of Studies Centre Transport Systems Alberto Frondarola, the Director of Land Transport Department - Office on checks' Road transport - Paolo Sangiorgio, the President of the Italian Society of Road Traumatology Andrea Costanzo, and representatives of associations, from Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia and representatives of local police, traffic police, traffic police , Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza.
5 areas.
The stated purpose of the Committee is to open a direct line of communication with the territory and the public to spread all the tools that may be helpful to a reduction of road accidents.
projects have invested five areas: driver safety, vehicle safety, security as a business environment, research and technology support, training and information.
Carried in the three years 2000/03 on 1 sull'incidentalità monitoring in road. Among those of particular relevance to the results that emerged was the first nation-wide accident rate monitor connected to the freight aree urbane, su strade extraurbane ed al trasporto di merci pericolose.
Dal 2000 al 2003 il numero degli incidenti con il coinvolgimento di veicoli per l’autotrasporto è sensibilmente diminuita, passando da 15.721 (pari al 7,4% del totale nazionale degli incidenti del 2000) a 14.572 (pari al 6,5% registrato del totale incidenti del 2003).
Tale risultato ridimensiona significativamente il concorso di tutti i veicoli adibiti al trasporto rispetto al totale degli incidenti che accadono ogni anno nel nostro Paese.
Dopo questa attività di monitoraggio è emersa, quindi, una più chiara valutazione del ruolo significativo, ma non determinante che ha l’autotrasporto merci nella fenomenologia dell’incidentalità in Italy and one can reasonably refute many of those stereotypes that, in daily life, have often contributed to an unfavorable view of road hauliers.
The effect of penalty points.
particularly significant changes were made following the introduction of penalty points, particularly between 2002 and 2003. Suffice it to say that the number of casualties in all accidents in 2003 decreased by 5.6%, while the number of injuries caused by accidents involving goods vehicles and fell further by 11.7%. Even more evident was the decrease in the number of deaths due to accidents: -10.7% on an annual basis, and in this If the number of deaths in accidents involving goods vehicles has declined even more: 12.3%.
Such data can only make us reflect on the effect of the introduction of penalty points system which was certainly more conspicuous in the field of road haulage contractors.
In 2003 only 6.5% of accidents with vehicles goods.
The results that emerge can be summarized as follows. The component "goods" (which includes vehicles brought those over 3.5 tonnes up to three wheelers) nell'incidentalità total in Italy, identified by ISTAT in 2003 was involved in 14,572 accidents, of 6.5 % of the total accidents occurred in Italy in the same year: a significant decline compared to 2000 given the already reduced the weight of the incidents of road transport vehicles.
conclusions of the investigation.
nell'incidentalità The weight of road traffic is not substantially increased in recent years. Indeed, the number of accidents has decreased, although slightly increased the average number of vehicles involved in accidents.
goods vehicles "light", especially in urban areas have grown, especially in recent years, their involvement in accidents resulting in a pejorative impact on its results.
Raffaele Maria de Lipsis, Chairman of the Central Committee.
" professional environment of the world - said during the seminar in Venice Raffaele Maria de Lipsis, Chairman of the Central Register Haulage - proved and is proving to react positively to the awareness and commitments made with the first safety campaign. But major efforts must be made in particular to protect the safety of traffic in urban areas, where goods vehicles involved in accidents still account for almost half of all accidents citizens. "
