Abstract:
Traffic accidents are a global health problem. The number of traffic accidents each year has increased and traffic accidents in Indonesia are assessed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the third killer after heart disease and tuberculoces. This study aims to examine how exactly the level of knowledge of parents in Demak District to their children who ride motorcycles on the highway. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with research location in Demak Regency. In order to obtain data in the field, data collection techniques such as observation and structured interviews, and using data analysis. The role of parents as a mentor is accompanying children while driving, and monitor the child if you want to ride a motorcycle, check the safety of driving. The purpose of this research is to become the agenda of socialization of safety riding for the general public in order to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining traffic safety on the highway, and reminding each other if there is violation of traffic rules. One of them reprimanded underage riders so as not to speed-kebutan or more careful.

Abstract:
Injuries are one of the major causes of both death and social inequalities in health in children. This paper reviews and reflects on two decades of empirical studies (1990 to 2009) published in the peer-reviewed medical and public health literature on socioeconomic disparities as regards the five main causes of childhood unintentional injuries (i.e., traffic, drowning, poisoning, burns, falls). Studies have been conducted at both area and individual levels, the bulk of which deal with road traffic, burn, and fall injuries. As a whole and for each injury cause separately, their results support the notion that low socioeconomic status is greatly detrimental to child safety but not in all instances and settings. In light of variations between causes and, within causes, between settings and countries, it is emphasized that the prevention of inequities in child safety requires not only that proximal risk factors of injuries be tackled but also remote and fundamental ones inherent to poverty.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective Child pedestrian injuries represent a global public health burden. To date, most research on psychosocial factors affecting children’s risk of pedestrian injury focused on cognitive aspects of children’s functioning in traffic. Recent evidence suggests, however, that emotional aspects such as temperament-based fear and anger/frustration, as well as executive function-based emotional decision making, may also affect children’s safety in traffic. This study examined the role of emotions on children’s pedestrian behavior. Three hypotheses were considered: (a) emotion-based temperament factors of fear and anger/frustration will predict children’s risky decisions and behaviors; (b) emotional decision making will predict risky pedestrian decisions and behaviors; and (c) children’s pedestrian decision making will mediate relations between emotion and risky pedestrian behavior. The role of gender was also considered. Methods In total, 140 6- to 7-year-old children (M = 6.7 years, SD = 0.39; 51% girls) participated. Parent-report subscales of Child Behavior Questionnaire measured temperamental fear and anger/frustration. The Hungry Donkey Task, a modified version of Iowa Gambling Task for children, measured children’s emotional decision making, and a mobile virtual reality pedestrian environment measured child pedestrian behavior. Results Greater anger/frustration, lesser fear, and more emotional decision making all predicted poorer pedestrian decision making. The mediational model demonstrated that pedestrian decision making, as assessed by delays entering safe traffic gaps, mediated the relation between emotion and risky pedestrian behavior. Analyses stratified by gender showed stronger mediation results for girls than for boys. Conclusions These results support the influence of emotions on child pedestrian behavior and reinforce the need to incorporate emotion regulation training into child pedestrian education programs.

Abstract:
Early child is known as an individual who is vulnerable to a number of events that threaten his personal safety. These risks make the government of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) entrust teachers to teach early about safety behaviors. This article discusses the media that teachers use to introduce safety behaviors in early childhood. This qualitative study was conducted in four early childhood education units in Salatiga, Semarang, and Boyolali. Data collection techniques used were observation, interview, and documentation. It was stated that the teacher introduces safety behavior through the media that supports three children's learning styles, namely auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. The media are in the form of healthy walk, educative teaching aids (APE) of traffic, helmets, switches and sockets, scissors, oral, doormats and cloths, as well as pickup cards. The research findings imply that the introduction of safety behaviors should be adapted to the context.

Abstract:
Utgångspunkten i mina arbeten om barn och trafik har varit trafiksäkerheten som ett genomgripande samhällsproblem, med barnens utsatta läge i fokus. Arbetet är uppdelat i två delar, där ett examensarbete på C-nivå, som är en översikt, utgör Del I. Del II utgörs av detta examensarbete på D-nivå och består av en empirisk undersökning om förskolebarns trafikförståelse. Syftet med föreliggande studie har varit att undersöka femåriga förskolebarns trafikförståelse utifrån tre olika aktörers perspektiv: barnens, förskolans och föräldrarnas. De frågeställningar som studerades var: vilka föreställningar som barnen har om trafik; hur barnen har tillägnat sig dessa föreställningar; hur barnen uppträder i trafiken samt hur förskolepersonalen och föräldrar arbetar med barnens trafikfostran. För att få svar på frågeställningarna genomfördes en fallstudie på en förskola där åtta barn, barnens två förskollärare samt tre föräldrar intervjuades. Dessutom observerades barnen under en trafikutflykt och deras trafikteckningar analyserades. Resultatet pekar på att förskolebarnen hade tillägnat sig såväl kunskaper som missförstånd om trafiken. Barnen uppfattade att trafik i första hand är motorfordon och vägar men såg inte sig själva som en del av trafiken. De kände till att trafiken har ett inneboende regelsystem, men förstod inte i samma utsträckning upphovet och orsaken till detsamma. Barnen visade stort intresse för trafiksignaler, men alla barn greppade inte innebörden av den gula färgen. Barnen i denna studie förstod att vägmärken har en symbolisk innebörd, där märkena med abstrakta symboler var svårast att tolka korrekt. Svårigheter med att särskilja höger och vänster framträdde också i studien. Med avseende på cykelhjälmsanvändning ansåg barnen att hjälmen endast hade till uppgift att skydda dem vid osäker cykling. Barnen hade inhämtat sina kunskaper och föreställningar från många olika, och ibland oväntade källor, huvudsakligen hemmet och förskolan. Barnens observerade vistelse i trafiken förflöt smidigt, där förskolans användning av reflexvästar och grupperingarna vid promenader framstod som invanda och användbara rutiner. Förskolans och hemmets trafikfostran genomfördes som praktisk träning i verklig trafikmiljö, företrädesvis genom promenader, bussresor och cykling. På förskolan var den vuxne en större auktoritet i trafiken än som annars är brukligt. Ibland arbetade förskolan med osynliga gränsdragningar som ett pedagogiskt verktyg för att skydda barnen i trafiken.<br>Traffic safety, viewed as a radical community problem, has been the starting-point in this work, with children’s vulnerable position in focus. This work is divided into two parts. Part I is an examination paper on C-level, consisting of a survey within this field. Part II consists of this examination paper on D-level, an empirical study about pre-school children’s understanding of traffic. The aim of the present work has been to study five-year-old pre-school children’s understanding of traffic, as viewed from the perspective of three different groups, the children, the pre-school teachers and the parents. The questions at issue were: the children’s conceptions of traffic and how those conceptions have been acquired, the children’s conduct in traffic, and how pre-school teachers and parents work with children’s traffic training. To answer those questions a case study was accomplished at a pre-school, where eight children, two pre-school teachers and three parents were interviewed. Moreover, I made a field study of the children during their walks in traffic and analyzed their traffic drawings. The results show that the pre-school children had acquired knowledge as well as misunderstandings about traffic. The children understood traffic as consisting of motor vehicles and roads but did not comprehend themselves as a traffic element. They knew that traffic has an inherent system of rules but did not to the same extent understand the origin or cause of those rules. The children were deeply interested in traffic lights but all children did not grasp the meaning of the yellow light. The children in my study understood that road signs have a symbolic message and road signs with abstract symbols were the most difficult to interpret correctly. Difficulties in distinguishing between right and left also appeared in the study. In regards to the use of bicycle helmets the children believed the sole purpose of the helmet was to protect them during unsteady cycling. The children had acquired their knowledge and conceptions from many different sources, mainly from the home and the pre-school. The observed traffic walks of the children passed smoothly, where the use of reflex vests and the groupings during the walks appeared to be ingrained and useful routines. The education of the pre-school and the home was carried through as practical training in the real traffic environment, preferably through walks, bus rides and cycling. In pre-school, the adult was a greater authority in the traffic situation than normally the case. Sometimes the pre-school worked with invisible delimitations as an educational tool with the purpose of protecting the children when in the traffic setting.

Abstract:
National and international studies and statistics show that road trauma is the leading cause of injury and death of children to age 14 years. One contributing element of this trauma among children relates to pedestrian accidents. Reducing child pedestrian trauma is a complex problem requiring a multi-faceted approach. One approach is through education. This evaluative study explored the links between the implementation of RoadSmart, a new primary school road safety education program developed by VicRoads, and the road crossing behaviour of children in year 2.A process-outcome approach was employed which focused on both the implementation and outcome components of the year 2 "Walking safely" component of the RoadSmart program. RoadSmart offers children first-hand experiences of real-traffic situations and comprises two major parts - school based learning sequences and take-home activities, designed to involve parents/carers in educating their children about road safety. Pre and post unobtrusive observations were undertaken of participating children crossing the road at an unmarked mid-block location and were matched for 44 children. The program was also systematically observed in the classrooms of these students. The findings imply that if teachers implement RoadSmart in the intended manner, students cross roads more safely. Overall findings from this evaluation concur with those of other researchers(Demetre et al., 1993; Rivara, 1990; Roberts, 1980; Thomson et al., 1996), that children under 9 possess capabilities that can be fostered through education and real-street experience to enable them to function more effectively in the traffic environment.

Abstract:
<p>Child pedestrian safety is one of the biggest safety issues regarding planning of a well arranged urban traffic. The fact that vulnerable road users suffer most from traffic incidents also raises concern for children. Children need special care while considering traffic safety. The factors are various that they differ from adults by many aspects. For their physically smaller size, immature ability to judge the traffic situations, lack of experience about traffic and mental deficiencies like losing concentration after short periods, they are much more susceptible to the traffic hazards than adults. Various studies have been carried and many applications regarding child and school pedestrian safety worldwide and the most hazardous periods were found as afternoon hours. Age factor generally is flexible but as the child grows older, mobility increases and risks become larger. The risk factors also include the social and economical environment that children living in good life standards suffer less than those are not. Education is also crucial on adopting the sense of road safety on children’s perspective. Simulation based studies have proved to be effective in order to draw child’s attention to the subject, however it should be combined with field trips to gain a more realistic and solid idea about the matter. Besides, engineering measures rise up as another milestone where roadside and land use planning is important. Traffic calming measures have proved to be effective to warn road users and thus form a safer traffic environment for children. Special applications for school zones such as flashing lights, narrowed crossways or 30km/h areas have been effective. The case study concerns the evaluation of child pedestrian safety in the vicinities of various accidents previously happened in Norrköping. Two methods were used to examine the degree of safety for the places of incidents. For locations near an intersection, road safety audit and traffic conflicts technique were applied, while, for the incident points along streets, only road safety audit technique was used. It is stated that, because of the multivariable aspect of the problem, collective application of various safety evaluation solutions would give better idea on the risk of the location and possible improvements for the future.</p>

Abstract:
Every year 9000 children are estimated to die in traffic accidents in China. Fast motorization of the country in combination with low usage of child restraint system’s (CRS’s), are the two contributing factors to this alarming number. The vision of this thesis is to increase the usage of CRS’s in China, by understanding why the users are using the CRS and why the non-users are not using. The behavioural methodology Switch was used to investigate what positive behaviours could be copied and implemented in a larger scale to increase the usage. Interviews were performed with 30 users and 30 non-users in tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 cities on the east coast of China. The main findings from the interviews showed that the reasons for not using was that the parents found the CRS complicated to install and to use, that it took too much space, that they did not know the benefits with a CRS and found it unnecessary and that they could not convince their children to sit in the CRS. Surprisingly most non-users already owned a CRS, but stopped using it. The users were using because they had experienced the CRS from abroad or got knowledge from other sources such as media or friends. Some parents were using because of a practicality issues such as the trouble to hold a heavy 3-year old child during a long trip. The behaviours chosen to represent the users for further work were learning from others, selection support, how to install, how to persist, and how to pay the knowledge of the CRS forward. The behaviour of the users was copied and implemented in a strategy consisting of the five parts above. The strategy is an interactive webpage with a close linkage to social networks to encourage sharing, and with a supporting poster- and bumper sticker campaign for spreading. The final product of the thesis work is a campaign including a fully working prototype of the webpage, which will be handed over to Volvo Cars for verification internally to make sure that the concept supports the different parts in a suitable and correct way before a public implementation. Material for poster and bumper stickers is also a part of the final delivery.

Além do baixo custo, de suas dimensões reduzidas e da maior facilidade na instalação em relação às cadeirinhas, o grande apelo deste dispositivo é o de que possibilita uma grande liberdade de movimento às crianças, permitindo que se ajoelhem e até mesmo deitem no veículo.

Abstract:
International organisations such as the World Health Organisation highlight the road crash problem in less motorised (or developing, or low income) countries like those in Southeast Asia and recommend the adoption of Western road safety measures. However, there are many differences between highly motorised and less motorised countries which raise questions about how successfully Western road safety knowledge and expertise can be transferred.----- A review of the statistical information on road crashes shows a great deal of uncertainty about both the scale and likely trajectory of road fatalities globally, in less motorised countries and in Asia. It is generally agreed, however, that Asia accounts for around half of all road fatalities, and analysis of the limited available data shows both that Southeast Asia is not an atypical region of Asia in road safety terms, and that Thailand and Vietnam are not atypical of Southeast Asian countries.----- A literature review of recommended practice approaches to road safety transfer in Asia shows that there are many economic, institutional, social and cultural factors which potentially influence the success of transfer. The review also shows that there is no coherent, comprehensive approach which either conceptualises these factors and their relationship to transfer outcomes, or uses an analysis of these factors to plan or modify transfer. To address this gap, this thesis develops a 'road safety space' model as a tool for conceptualisation and analysis, based on a biological metaphor which views the transfer of road safety measures from one context to another as analogous to the transfer of a species into a new ecological space. The road safety space model explicitly considers economic, institutional, social and cultural factors (from specific to broad) which influence the particular road safety issue which a particular road safety transfer effort seeks to address. A central contention of this thesis is that the road safety space model is both a feasible and useful tool to improve the process of road safety transfer to less motorised countries. Road safety space analysis is seen to have a role in a broader process of selection of road safety measures for transfer, along with knowledge of how the measures are considered to operate.----- The research reported in this thesis is comprised of three studies. Study 1 reviewed evaluations of road safety transfer to Thailand and Vietnam. Studies 2 and 3 were case studies of road safety transfer to Thailand and Vietnam respectively.----- Study 1 was an analysis of existing evaluations of road safety transfer to Thailand and Vietnam. The aims were to analyse the evaluations for their consideration of contextual factors, as described in the road safety space model, and to discuss whether the road safety space model assisted in understanding the reasons for success or failure of transfer. However, very few such evaluations exist, and those that were found generally lacked information on whether contextual factors were considered. This indicated the need for a more detailed, in-depth qualitative investigation of particular cases of road safety transfer, in order to investigate the feasibility and utility of the road safety space model.----- Two case studies (Study 2 and Study 3) were conducted to test whether the road safety space approach was both feasible and useful as a means of improving road safety transfer efforts. Study 2 was a case study of the development and implementation in Thailand of a road safety education program for school children, which involved the transfer of Western research and techniques. The transfer agents (i.e. those who effected the road safety transfer) were Australian consultants working for the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB). The transfer was funded by the World Bank and managed by the Thai Ministry of Education (MOE). Study 3 was a case study of the development and implementation of a motorcycle helmet wearing program in Vietnam, which involved the transfer of Western knowledge, techniques and technology. The transfer agents were staff of Asia Injury (AI), a non-government organisation (NGO), and the program was funded initially by a charitable fund, with the intention of becoming self-funding through operation of a helmet factory.----- The case studies employed background research into existing information on economic, institutional, social and cultural factors relevant to the road safety issues (road use behaviour of school children in Thailand and motorcycle helmet purchase and wearing in Vietnam), and collected data through interviews with key informants, analysis of secondary sources and observations. This information was used to derive the road safety space for each road safety issue, to identify the road safety space recognised and addressed by the transfer agents (ARRB and AI), and to determine which factors they missed, or were aware of but took no action on. The focus of this analysis was on the processes used in transfer, not on the road safety outcomes of transfer, although these provided information on the processes as well. Available evaluation information was used to draw links between the omissions and the success of the transfer processes. It was noted that information on how the transferred measures operate should come from a road safety space analysis in the originating country, although this raised questions about selection of country and time (when the measure was first introduced, or in its maturity).----- The feasibility and utility of the road safety space model were discussed. It was clear that the model provided information on the cases which was missed by the transfer agents. The questions examined next were whether this information could have been obtained from an exercise conducted before the transfer had commenced, whether the required effort and cost justified the potential benefits, and whether the information on the road safety space could have been useful for the transfer agents. Comparisons between the road safety spaces for the two cases showed some areas of commonality, e.g. perceptions of police corruption, but also many differences. It was considered likely that some broad factors could be generic, and the possibility was mooted that less motorised countries share issues with police enforcement. This requires further research, however, and at this stage it is better to treat each road safety space as a unique combination of contextual factors influencing the road safety issue of interest.----- It is concluded that the road safety space model is feasible if used in such a way as to minimise the research involved, and useful, although the degree of utility needs to be further explored in a prospective study. The limitation introduced by restricting informants to those who could speak English are discussed. An approach using road safety space analysis is recommended, emphasising analysis of the country to which the road safety measure is being transferred, supplemented by analysis of the originating country road safety space. Gaps in knowledge are identified for further research and development, in particular the theoretical and practical understanding of road use behaviours and their modification in less motorised countries in Southeast Asia. Elaboration of the model is also recommended, to take into account the influence of the type of measure transferred, the role of the transfer agent, the area of road safety (education, engineering or enforcement), and the time dimension (the time which might be needed for a transfer to show its effects).----- The findings of this research are likely to be applicable to road safety transfer in other less motorised regions of the world, however prospective testing is needed. They may also be relevant to issues of transfer for areas other than road safety, in particular public health and traffic engineering, where similar economic, institutional, social and cultural issues come together.

Abstract:
The paper presents traffic-related hazards, in particular to its young and vulnerable participants. A list was provided of road accidents that primary school students from the region of Silesia, in particular the city of Bytom participated in, together with an indication of their causes. Research was carried out among teachers of primary schools from Bytom, responsible for teaching elements of road safety, in particular to unprotected participants in traffic, aimed at determining the degree of professional preparation in this area. The cooperation of primary schools and teachers with institutions responsible for road safety were presented, such as: Municipal Police Headquarters, Municipal Police, Regional Road Traffic Centre, and others, aimed at improving child safety, as well as increasing the communication skills of teachers, through active participation in trainings and workshops, and by promoting the principles of safe participation in road traffic. Education in the field of road safety for its youngest participants should be a priority in the activities of all people and organizations, in particular teachers, who care about the safety of children and adults.

Abstract:
Children’s independent mobility (CIM) is associated with improved physical activity and social competence among children. Despite such benefits, there is a worldwide decline in overall CIM levels, owing to the multi-factors of the insufficient supportive built environment, traffic and negative parental perception. This paper attempts to make a unique case of relooking children’s everyday mobility experiences by adopting a universal design (UD) approach. The key objectives are to (i) discuss the global evolution of CIM in comparison to UD from an Indian narrative, (ii) understand CIM though parental concerns and children’s perspective, and (iii) develop a shared connection between UD goals and CIM. These objectives were achieved by a desk-based literature review followed by a qualitative pilot study within an urban neighbourhood of Delhi. Focus group discussion with twenty children in the age group of 7–12 years and personal interview sessions with fifteen parents were conducted, which were analysed using content analysis method. The literature suggests that to date, CIM has been majorly looked upon from the two-point perspective of urban planning and health. Whereas UD provides an opportunity for bringing in the dimension of ‘culture’ into the discussion. Especially in a culturally diverse country like India, where children and parental discussions reveal concerns of safety, familiarity and proximity to child-specific destinations as a precursor for CIM levels. Overall, this study emphasises that both CIM and UD form a complementary process overarching the aim of empowering children to move freely, promoting their health, social participation and inclusion.

Full text
Abstract:
The FIVIS simulator system addresses the classical visual and acoustical cues as well as vestibular and further physiological cues. Sensory feedback from skin, muscles, and joints are integrated within this virtual reality visualization environment. By doing this it allows for simulating otherwise dangerous traffic situations in a controlled laboratory environment. The system has been successfully applied for road safety education applications of school children. In further research studies it is applied to perform multimedia perception experiments. It has been shown, that visual cues dominate by far the perception of visual depth in the majority of applications but the quality of depth perception might depend on the availability of other sensory information. This however, needs to be investigated in more detail in the future.

Abstract:
This chapter asks what kills children and what people can do about it. One of the greatest triumphs in health over the past century has been the dramatic decrease in childhood mortality, yet children still die. In 2016, there were, in the United States, about 38,000 deaths of children under the age of 19. Roughly half of deaths occur in early childhood due to genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, and other perinatal conditions, many of which people do not know how to treat. However, we should be able to prevent most of the other half. The leading causes of injury deaths are motor vehicle deaths and gun-related deaths. Understanding how to prevent them can provide a template for stopping other childhood deaths. The chapter then considers the Vision Zero initiative, passed by the Swedish parliament 20 years ago, which aims to reduce traffic fatalities to zero. Just like motor vehicle accidents, childhood deaths from guns will not end until people work to create a safer environment by reducing the availability of firearms.

Abstract:
A hundred years ago, if you talked about protecting the environment you meant preventing floods or forest fires. Homes and farms could be ruined and families wiped out by a flash flood, a surge tide, or a raging fire. Meanwhile in industrial regions the skies were polluted with fumes, smoke and smog, rivers were little more than open drains and slag was piled up in great heaps. People complained but there was little they could do, because their livelihoods depended on the very industries which were causing the pollution. Excesses were curbed, but change was painfully slow. Fifty years ago, when you spoke of protecting the environment you meant controlling urban sprawl and cleaning up the wastes of industry. The climate of opinion now favours quicker changes, and much has been achieved since then: slag heaps have been sculpted into grassy knolls, derelict sites have been demolished and turned into sport centres or superstores, rivers now support fish and wildlife abounds on their banks. The belching smoke and choking fogs of coal-burning industries are only memories. And while the air in cities is now fouled by traffic fumes, there are signs that this pollution too will disappear as cars become cleaner. People today have other environmental concerns. They want action taken on different kinds of pollution. It is not enough to pull down old factories, gas works and foundries and to turf over the site: we want the soil beneath to be decontaminated too, so that homes can be built there and children can play safely in gardens. People want power to be generated without causing acid rain. They want all rivers and lakes to be so clean that people can fish from them or swim in them. When it comes to breathing, we have little choice. The air we breathe comes with the neighbourhoods in which we live and work. Clearly, we have some control: we can avoid traffic fumes, and change the ventilation of the rooms we are in, but even so the mixture that we are taking in is still a cocktail of gases, some of which are not natural, and some of which may be hurting us.

Abstract:
Safety commuting environment can promote children’s walking and cycling, thus reducing the risk of obesity and other diseases. Most of the existing studies on children’s safety focus on open space, but pay little attention to children's commuting environment. Moreover, few studies pay attention to the differences between open blocks and gated communities in winter city. Taking Harbin, a winter city in China, as an example, this study uses the optimized IPA method to explore the built environment factors affecting pupils’ commuting safety from three aspects: environment design, social management and road traffic. The results show that the influencing factors of road traffic have the highest impact on pupils‘ commuting safety. In addition, the occupation management in social management also has a great impact. In terms of satisfaction, the satisfaction with gated communities is generally higher than that with open blocks, but the satisfaction of open block is higher in neighbourhood relationship and street thermal environment. By coupling the importance and satisfaction of influencing factors, it is found that safety guardrail, signal identification, occupation management are in urgent need of renovation.

Abstract:
Children are highly represented in injuries and fatalities caused by road accidents. The major reasons are children’s lack of ability to scan the environment, inconsistent behaviour, distraction in traffic situations, ability to estimate speed and distance, and less developed hazard perception skills. Therefore, traffic education for children is very important. This study will look at a platform about traffic education for children including gamification elements. Gamification is a relatively new concept which has gathered a lot of attention over the last few years with its application in many diverse fields. Gamification is defined as the application of game mechanics to non-game activities in order to change behaviour. The education community has discovered the power it has to increase students’ performance and engagement. The current study focuses on educating school going children on traffic safety in Flanders (Belgium). We expect the platform to be effective in increasing traffic knowledge, situation awareness, risk detection and risk management among children and a positive change in (predictors of) behaviours of children who will be using the platform. To investigate the effect of the platform, a pretest-posttest design with an intervention group and a control group will be used. Data will be collected and analyzed in the spring of 2018 and results, limitations and policy recommendations will be provided during the conference in June 2018.

Abstract:
In 2008, motor vehicle collisions resulted in 968 child occupant fatalities and 193,000 seriously injured children, ages 14 years old and younger, according to the most recent data provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [1]. In fact, motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death for all children ages 3 to 14 years old living in the United States [1]. As children grow older they require size-appropriate restraint types to fit their body at each developmental level. For older children, booster seats are not a total solution for child safety as they are often dependent on the design of the vehicle seat belt system (2). Additionally, there is no federal standard that requires vehicle manufacturers to dynamically test the performance of child seats of any type in their vehicles.

Abstract:
Approaches to carrying out preventive and other community policing activities can be very different. They mostly depend on the police officer's ingenuity and self-initiative, no matter what role he holds in the police. One of the most common methods of working in communities is the implementation of prevention projects. To solve problems in the field of crime, traffic safety, illicit drugs, breaches of public order, we are working in cooperation with the local community with the help of the already resounding traditional prevention project »Academy of Detective Franček« (hereinafter ADF). The goal of cooperation with the community is the same – to achieve greater safety and security in the local environment. Today, safety presents an important value in life. Consequently, the police need to cooperate with the local community, and it is especially important to present the police's work to the younger population. It is necessary to develop a positive attitude toward the preventive action of the police among children.

Abstract:
To promote active transportation modes (such as bike ride and walking), and to create safer communities for easier access to transit, it is essential to provide consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public. The relevant and timely information from data facilitates the improvement of decision-making processes for the establishment of public policy and urban planning for sustainable growth, and for promoting public health in the region. For the characterization of the spatial variation of transportation-emitted air pollution in the Fresno/Clovis neighborhood in California, various species of particulate matters emitted from traffic sources were measured using real-time monitors and GPS loggers at over 100 neighborhood walking routes within 58 census tracts from the previous research, Children’s Health to Air Pollution Study - San Joaquin Valley (CHAPS-SJV). Roadside air pollution data show that PM2.5, black carbon, and PAHs were significantly elevated in the neighborhood walking air samples compared to indoor air or the ambient monitoring station in the Central Fresno area due to the immediate source proximity. The simultaneous parallel measurements in two neighborhoods which are distinctively different areas (High diesel High poverty vs. Low diesel Low poverty) showed that the higher pollution levels were observed when more frequent vehicular activities were occurring around the neighborhoods. Elevated PM2.5 concentrations near the roadways were evident with a high volume of traffic and in regions with more unpaved areas. Neighborhood walking air samples were influenced by immediate roadway traffic conditions, such as encounters with diesel trucks, approaching in close proximity to freeways and/or busy roadways, passing cigarette smokers, and gardening activity. The elevated black carbon concentrations occur near the highway corridors and regions with high diesel traffic and high industry. This project provides consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public including: 1. Transportation-related particle pollution data 2. Spatial analyses of geocoded vehicle emissions 3. Neighborhood characterization for the built environment such as cities, buildings, roads, parks, walkways, etc.
