INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE POLICIES OF ROAD SAFETY
LA COMPARAISON INTERNATIONALE DE L'EFFICACITE DES POLITIQUES DE SECURITE ROUTIERE
The article presents a new methodology, based on a geographic criterion, population density, and on a regional rather than national basis, to compare quantitatively the results of different road safety policies of Western European countries or the states of the United States. Suggested is a comparison of geographic type based on three principles: the breakdown of killed/year according to the regional level of area subdividing every country (land, provinces, regions, counties); the areas are characterized in the first approach by their population density; structures defined by the scatter of points formed by the areas within each country compared with each other, not areas within a given country. The article provides results of the new comparison as well as consequences of it.
