Road safety is a priority for the European Union’s Transport Policy. To reach the objective of halving the number of fatalities until 2010 throughout Europe the improvement or implementation of a great variety of road safety measures is necessary. To improve road safety with economically justified measures is – especially in times of scarce resources and rather poor economic means – a challenge.
To justify their decisions policy makers need tools to assess the benefits and costs of alternative road safety measures. Therefore, it is necessary to give the road safety related assessment tasks a general framework based

The objective of ROSEBUD, to help responsible policy makers to judge on the best and most rewarding means to invest in safety efforts, can save life and economic costs which result from the implementation of less efficient safety approaches.

Key issues of ROSEBUD are transfer and integration of knowledge, mainly covered by a “User Reference Group”. The User Reference Group brought together administrative users from all levels of government and scientific experts in the field of road safety. More than 100 members from all over Europe, Israel, Australia, Canada, India, Iran, Vietnam, Japan and South Africa and international organisations like EC, CEMT and CEN joined the User Reference Group during the last years.
