A Diploma Thesis titled “
Analysis of the effect of economic recession on road safety in Greece”
was presented by Christos Batsos in September
2017. For this analysis, suitably processed road accident
data during the period 2003-2014 have been exploited. It appears that
the economic recession has led to a significant
reduction in fatalities and serious injuries. The principal
mechanisms bringing this decline about are the reduction of accidents
with involvement of passenger cars, of
young drivers and outside traffic junctions. These results
indicate that apart from the decline of vehicle kilometers of travel,
changes
in road user behaviour might have contributed significantly to the
overall improvement of road safety during the economic crisis.
