Welcome to the European Road Safety Observatory

Dear reader,

Since the completion of the SafetyNet project in October 2008, this website is no longer updated.

This website is one of the final results of SafetyNet, which was an integrated project funded by DG-TREN of the European Commission. The objective of the project was to build the framework of a European Road Safety Observatory, which will be the primary focus for road safety data and knowledge. Learn more about SafetyNet.

Where can I find the updated ERSO website?
The ERSO website has been transferred to the Road Safety section on the website of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility & Transport. It is accessible by using the address: www.erso.eu.

Why use ERSO?
In just a few minutes ERSO can provide you with information you need for road safety policy or research.

Who should use ERSO?
ERSO helps policy makers, researchers and road safety advisors to find their way into the European road safety world. Just a few mouse clicks and a policy maker finds e.g. in-depth knowledge on the use of alcohol in traffic. Just a few mouse clicks and a researcher knows e.g. the number of fatalities in Europe.
