From Cradle to Rocking Chair: Road User Safety Investigation Framework

Abstract

The article proposes road users safety investigation (RUSI) framework. With the main idea to demote over-focusing of on-road behaviours, RUSI broadens up the scope of road users’ involvement in a traffic system. Taking insights from developmental framework as its basis, from birth to death; the framework elaborates how road users enter, interact within, and exit the traffic system. Incorporating psychosocial theory of human development, RUSI framework offers a map to mark where are the gaps for interventions, and where are the potential opportunities for future investigation on road users safety.
