This project has developed the SUNflower approach, originally used to assess Sweden, Great Britain and the Netherlands, for comparing safety programmes and records between countries. The approach has been applied to nine countries, adding three Central European countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia) and three Southern European countries (Portugal, Greece and Spain, and additional to this the autonomous region of Catalonia) to the three original SUN countries. The topics covered have been increased. The SUNflower approach is a data-driven approach in which the safety status of a country (region) is described and compared (benchmarked) with other countries (regions), developments over time are understood in order to identify strong and weak points of a country (region) as a basis to learn from each other and to speed up road safety improvements.
