Vision Zero Annotated Bibliography
Elvebakk, B. (2007). “Vision Zero: Remaking Road Safety” Mobilities, 2(3), 425-441.
The author argues that moral standards need to be set for everyone involved, from administrators and law enforcement, to daily drivers, for the system to work. I think this will help our research, because it will show how people need to come together to help increase safety for everyone.
Elvebakk, B., and Steiro, T. (2009). “First Principles, Second Hand: Perceptions and Interpretations of Vision Zero in Norway.” Safety Science, 47(7), 958-966.
The authors argue that the system has improved safety and reduced fatalities in Norway and Sweden. As a result, Vision Zero has become popular around the world. In order for it to be successful worldwide, it will have to be adapted to fit cultures and driving laws and practices around the world.
Newton, D., and Linton, J. (September 30, 2014). “LADOT’s Bold New Strategic Vision: Eliminate L.A. Traffic Deaths by 2025.” StreetsBlog LA. la.streetsblog.org/2014/09/30/ladots-bold-new-strategic-vision- eliminate-l-a-traffic-deaths-by-2025/.
Vision Zero is going into place to help reduce deaths on L.A.’s highway system. They argue that it can be successful in L.A. if people commit to safety. I think this will be good for our project as it shows how Vision Zero is being used in a major city in the United States.
Rosencrantz, H., Edvardsson, K., and Hansson, S.O. (2007). “Vision Zero-Is it Irrational?” Transportation Research part A: Policy and Practice, 41(6), 559-567.
Since its adoption, Vision Zero has been criticized as not being realistic in its goals. The authors, however, argue it is a good program with an attainable goal. I think this source will be a good source for us, as it looks at both sides of the argument about Vision Zero, and explains that it is a realistic goal and is attainable if people work together.
Wegman, F., Zhang, F., and Dijkstra, A. (January, 2012). “How to Make More Cycling Good for Road Safety?” Accident Analysis and Prevention: Safety and Mobility of Vulnerable Road Users: Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Motorists. 44(1), 19-29. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001457510003416.
The authors argue that the system can make the roads safer for cyclists, as well as, people in cars. Vision Zero can be used in areas where many people ride bikes for both pleasure and transportation. I think this will be helpful for our group project, as it helps make more areas able to benefit from using the Vision Zero system, and show that it is not for just motorists.
