Abstract

This paper examines the policy implications of the traditional approach to vehicle safety, which tends to focus on the crashworthiness of a vehicle and its occupant protection capability, and an alternative approach that focuses more on the non-aggressiveness of the vehicle. It is argued that this alternative approach will improve road safety as well as social equity and environmental quality.
