In the project of collecting the main traffic safety indicators, the Transport Competence Agency (TKA), like other institutions of the participating EU countries, will conduct traffic safety studies and calculate the values of traffic safety indicators according to the established methodologies: speeding; use of seat belts and child seats; disturbing the driver’s attention (use of telephones); car safety; road safety; provision of emergency medical assistance. All indicators calculated during the project will also be used in the general context of the European Union countries.
