Drawing up a background document to update the road safety plan for Flanders (Research)

The Flemish Government wants to prepare an update of the 2008 Road Safety plan. To that end, they wish to obtain a background document that contains a status questionis of road safety in Flanders. The background paper is mainly descriptive and does not contain any policy choices unless previously/explicitly made elsewhere (for example in the Mobility Plan in relation to the targets on the number of victims). The size of any additional analyses with regard to earlier analyses/analyses carried out elsewhere, is limited. However, analyses of partial unsafety phenomena are possible. The background document would provide a good synthesis of the current state of affairs and knowledge related to traffic (un)safety in Flanders. In a next phase, the objective is to upholster the policy plan for the next legislature and to further develop the road safety plan as a concrete action plan, based this document.
