traffic safety as a central concern

Such incidents illustrate the challenges that the traffic safety work faces. Under the “Vision Zero” program, the federal government pursues the goal of not having dead or seriously injured in road traffic. The Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) provides funds for measures to increase traffic safety, including research and innovation projects in traffic technology. These initiatives are characterized by projects for the digitization of transport systems, which can also be classified in the context of current events in the Saarpfalz district.

In addition, the Federal Institute for Roads (BAST) plays a central role in technical and science-based research on traffic safety. Every year she carries out around 260 of her own research projects and looks after over 300 external projects. The results of this research are published regularly and are available to the public to raise awareness of traffic safety.
