On 17 May 2018, the Commission adopted the proposal for a directive amending Directive 2008/96/EC on road infrastructure safety management. The revision was presented together with another legislative proposal on vehicle and pedestrian safety, and with non-legislative initiatives to promote safe mobility. The general objective of the proposal, which seeks to address the shortcomings of the existing legislation, is to reduce both road fatalities and serious injuries by improving the safety performance ...

In order to improve the EU road safety and substantially reduce road deaths, several measures were taken at the EU level. A general policy document was adopted in 2010, when the European Commission published the Road Safety Programme 2011-2020. The current revision of the road safety management procedures was triggered by the fact that the progress in the reduction of road fatalities stalled and that the existing road security measures needed to be adapted to changes in mobility resulting from societal ...

UE își propune să creeze un spațiu european de siguranță rutieră în deceniul 2010-2020. Acest domeniu ține în special de competența statelor membre. În consecință, măsurile europene vizează starea tehnică a vehiculelor, transportul de mărfuri periculoase și siguranța rețelelor rutiere.

Instituirea unei piețe unice europene a transporturilor rutiere nu este posibilă în lipsa armonizării dispozițiilor legale din statele membre. Măsurile adoptate de Uniunea Europeană sunt de natură fiscală, tehnică administrativă și socială.

Automated vehicle technologies allow the transfer of driving functions from a human driver to a computer. Automation, and in particular digitalisation, of driving will change road transport in a way which is viewed as a revolution in the field of mobility. As human error is the main reason for road traffic accidents, driving which is automatically controlled by a computer is expected to make future road transport safer and more secure. It has also the potential to be more environmentally friendly ...

În acest studiu sunt analizate datele actuale referitoare la vehiculele mai lungi și mai grele (VLG-uri) și impactul pe care l-ar avea autorizarea utilizării acestor „mega-camioane” pe teritoriul UE, astfel cum este cazul în Finlanda și Suedia, țări care permit VLG-urilor să circule în traficul normal. Acest studiu se bazează pe o recenzie a datelor din literatura de specialitate, provenite dintr-o muncă de cercetare remarcabilă în acest domeniu, precum și pe studii de caz în care sunt examinate ...

Traffic noise has impacts on citizens' health and well-being. The European Commission therefore proposed a Regulation which aims to reduce the noise emissions of motor vehicles by about 25%. The EP's ENVI Environment Committee voted to amendments to the proposed noise limits, and calls for mandatory noise labelling of vehicles as well as a systematic assessment of road surfaces.

The current acts in place – the Brussels I Regulation, the Lugano Convention and the parallel convention with Denmark – give the claimant several opportunities for forum shopping when lodging a direct claim against foreign liability insurance. Since the lex fori determines whether the Rome II Regulation or the Hague Convention is applicable in Common Market cases, the aforementioned possibility of forum shopping ultimately leads to law shopping. Between the claimant and the injuring party, the principle ...

Întârzierile pe autostrăzi pot fi cauzate de vehiculele grele de marfă (HGV) care se depășesc unele pe celelalte. Această notă prezintă detalii ale cercetării întreprinse și ale sistemelor introduse în statele membre UE pentru a se interzice efectuarea manevrelor de depășire de către vehiculele grele de marfă. În urma unei analize costuri-beneficii, s-a ajuns la concluzia că, anual, s-ar înregistra beneficii de până la 1 500 de milioane de euro prin introducerea acestor regimuri în locaţii optime ...

This report describes the collation and analysis of a wide range of disparate European data on the safety of light goods vehicles (LGVs – goods vehicles with a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes). It includes data on regulations, new registrations, stock, traffic, freight performance, business sectors, accidents and casualties. It identifies the trends in both the LGV market and safety performance and identifies areas that could be a priority for safety interventions.
