SUPREME – European best practice in road safety

The aim of the SUPREME project was to identify best practice road safety measures, which have been actually implemented in Europe, and by publication of the results to promote the exploitation of such measures. 31 partners from 27 countries (including four international organisations) pro-vided information of potential best practice measures, which were divided into nine categories: edu-cation and campaigns; driver education, training and licensing; rehabilitation and diagnostics; vehi-cles; infrastructure; enforcement; statistics and in-depth analysis; institutional organisation of road safety and post-accident care. All submitted measures were systematically assessed according to eight different criteria, including effectiveness, costs and benefits, acceptability, transferability and sustainability. Altogether 250 candidate measures were submitted, 24 of which were ranked as best practice measures, 21 as good practice and 10 as promising practice measures. This overview of the SUPREME project describes briefly the data collection process, the number of submitted measures by category and country; the evaluation process, and the 55 measures which were evaluated fa-vourably.
