Project Summary

Traffic safety is an issue of the biggest importance for all countries. Hence, the main task of the society in this regard is to create a favorable environment for safe traffic. It is not sufficient to prepare people to participate in the traffic, but it is necessary in the regular school system to solve the issue of training of professional staff with appropriate competences in the field of traffic safety.Mission of activities in the field of traffic safety represents a reduction of fatalities, injuries and economic losses that occur in traffic accidents. Therefore, in order to develop a functional system of traffic safety, it is necessary to improve education, technical innovations and equipment, infrastructure, information and technological systems based on EU standards, constantly strengthen the personnel competencies by education and trainings and enforce introduction of traffic safety topics into curricula at all educational levels.This project is a concrete response to identified shortcomings in the field of traffic safety. Within the scope of the project existing curricula will be improved and new curricula will be introduced at undergraduate and master level within WB partner HEIs. Also, inclusion of non-university partners will enable training of experts and awareness raising activities.Expected impact includes education of new generations of students in accordance with the best EU practices through modernized and improved curricula, introduction of new practices by traffic experts in accordance with new legislations in WB countries.
