Optimization of policy decisions and road user choices is based on advanced analyses of reliable crash, exposure and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) data. The mission of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) Road Safety Observatory (http://www.nrso.ntua.gr/) is to support the Greek and the International Road Safety Community by providing openly current key road safety knowledge and data, which are gathered, analysed and organised within the research activities of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens, as well as within co-operations with various national and international Road Safety Organisations. Road safety is a typical field where important investments are not always bringing quick and/or the desired results. The major objective of the NTUA Road Safety Observatory is to openly, continuously and dynamically support the road safety decision makers and stakeholders (public and private) at all levels (local, regional, national, international) with updated knowledge and data in order to identify the appropriate road safety policies, programmes and measures for the significant reduction of the number of road accidents and of the related casualties in Greece, in Europe and worldwide. NRSO is continuously investing into systematic production and open dissemination of scientific road safety knowledge as well as into the support of road safety activities beyond Europe with emphasis on least performing regions (Africa, Middle East, Asia, Latin America), proving its quote: "Road Safety everywhere and for all". NRSO activities in summary are available at: https://www.nrso.ntua.gr/geyannis/wp-content/uploads/geyannis-cp466-6.pdf https://www.nrso.ntua.gr/ntua-innovation-in-road-safety-research-workshop-online-may-2021/. The target audience is all road safety decision makers and stakeholders (public and private) at all levels (local, regional, national, international).

In industrialized countries, motor vehicle accidents are the most important cause of death and disability in the first half of life. Furthermore, new drivers are four times more likely than experienced drivers to incur a road accident: the greatest number of deaths is concentrated in the 20-34 age group in both sexes. In Italy, road safety education is mandatory at schools on all levels but teachers do not know how and what to teach students. In primary and secondary schools, there is a lack of comprehensive mobility education. The didactic project called "SicuraMente" was carried out in Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia (in the north-eastern part of Italy) as a partnership between Ministry for Education and the regional government, in collaboration with the Traffic Police of Trieste and FVG Roads Ltd. (managers of state highways in Friuli Venezia Giulia). In this project, where the mobility education is offered by the schools inside the curricular disciplines, some core activities concerning road safety education from the scientific and social point of view were proposed teaching through the peer education methodology: the rationale was a perspective of safe and sustanable education as both a scientific education and a citizenship education, establishing the scientific and social meaning of rules as a basic step to make students follow them. E.g. the study of motion and of relative motions are the prelude to the proposed analysis of the safety distance, trajectory and position, displacement and velocity vectors are basic kinematic quantities to explain to students. Target: Young people (under 18 y.o. and news drivers).

After experiencing accidents due to vehicles entering highways in the opposite direction, we decided to bring a new innovative and modern system to stop this dangerous situation from happening ever again.

PRER (Plano Regional de Educação Rodoviária - Regional Road Safety Education Plan) goals were set considering that main indicators consider road accidents to be a serious public health problem, a catastrophe. The expressive numbers relating to road accidents do not choose age, gender, or social status of the individuals involved. The partnerships established and the invaluable support of different organizations are justified, on the one hand, by the mission of each one of them and, on the other, because road safety must be a priority for all. Since its creation in 2007/2008, the PRER goals have been to reduce road accidents, their consequences, and costs, as well as to increase a more sustainable mobility, building a true road safety culture. PRER has several different actions and measures which depend on the nature and age of the participants. They mainly involve children in pre-school education, students from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Cycles of Basic Education and Secondary Education in schools (public and private) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM). In the school year of 2020/2021, there was a coverage rate of around 50% (74), with a slight reduction due to the Covid-19 pandemic, involving practically ⅓ of the student population (15 thousand children and students). PRER also involves teachers and other school staff, as well as parents and guardians, and the surrounding civil community. In short, PRER seeks to involve the entire island (RAM) in which it is applied.
