?:abstract
  • "The government in Sweden champions the international competitiveness of the country' s economy and industry. The structure and substance of transport research in Sweden is in constant flux. Because Sweden has its own automotive industry, extensive and cost-intensive research programs on vehicle development are conducted in cooperation with industry, the research community, and the government and are largely financed by the Swedish state. Setting priorities in transport research also seems to come easier to Sweden than to Germany, where authority is shared by the federal government, state governments, and their respective ministries in a way unknown in Sweden. On the whole, Sweden is one of the world's innovative leaders in both applied and basic research on transport, an assessment reflected in the ambitious objectives of the country' s transport policy. An outstanding example thereof is 'Vision Zero', Sweden's long-term goal of completely eliminating deaths due to accidents. Sweden, like other countries, is grappling with the impacts of mass motorization. In comparison to the German way of dealing with these problems, the Swedish approach seems to focus pragmatically more on environmental objectives and safety standards and devotes greater attention to the needs of disadvantaged road users. The social sciences, a traditional strength in Sweden, play a major role. Swedish transport research addresses the topics of safety, environment, and future technologies. The independent Swedish local authorities conduct their own environmentally ambitious transport projects, which are scientifically grounded political decisions promoting informed efforts to help the environment."
