Profile of the Programme

Scientific and technological improvements of our times have effected society and human life in many ways and increased life
standards with new technology and equipments. Transportation vehicles have positive effects on economic, social and cultural
improvements. The fact that the number of vehicles and drivers has increased has created the concept of "Traffic Safety". Traffic
safety concept includes deaths, injuries, physical disabilities, social-economical losses, relatives of dead and wounded, and
psychological, social effects, and environmental pollution. Traffic accidents which occure without concern of time, person and location
affect all people in society; and therefore it affects interest of public opinion. In developed countries, there are many projects about traffic safety, and there are institutions educating people about traffic, and highway transportation,also educating experts and producing various research. Depending on the results of the research on this field, new plans and social campaigns are being held. Besides the increase
in number of motor vehicles and drivers, improvements in the country, the increase in population, unsystematic city planning
increase the possibility of traffic accidents and cause difficulties for the solution of the traffic safety problem. Traffic safety can
be solved by the improvements in infrastructure and training more people about traffic.Highway Transportation and Traffic
