ESRA

ESRA (E-Survey of Road Users’ Attitudes) is a joint international initiative of research centres and road safety institutes across the world, initiated and coordinated by Vias institute in Brussels and in cooperation with a core group of partners from 11 countries. The purpose of this network is to collect comparable data on the road safety situation and culture indicated by the road users’ past and habitual behaviours, attitudes, beliefs, perceived norms and values. The data collected by means of online surveys lead to a large set of road safety indicators and provide scientific evidence for policy making at national and international level. In its first stage (ESRA1) the project has surveyed road users in 38 countries on 5 continents. In its current stage (ESRA2), 48 countries took part. New countries are welcome to join! Contact us if you are interested.

ESRA2 is offering free one-hour webinars in advance of the 2021 international conference (tentatively scheduled for March 2021). These webinars are hosted by the ESRA partners across the world who are organizing and analyzing the E-Survey of Road Users’ Attitudes.

Webinar focus: New results from the ESRA2 data, collected at the end of 2019, will be highlighted throughout six one-hour webinars scheduled between September 2020 and February 2021. Two topic areas per webinar will be presented and focus on measuring traffic safety culture using global road safety performance indicators.
