Safe Systems and the role of systems science

Part of the work of CSCRS is to share and develop a stronger understanding of principles of Safe Systems and systems science that can be applied to our collective work in reducing traffic injuries and fatalities. These two pages provides a brief introduction to core elements of these two guiding frameworks, shown in the figure below, which are open to expansion and further refinement.

• What is a Safe Systems approach?
• What is systems science?

This additional webpage is intended to serve as a hub for research-to-practice innovation: Creating Safer Systems and Healthier Communities: Resource Hub

Finally, to commemorate CSCRS’s Safe System work, we have released this video, report, and executive summary to tell the CSCRS story and highlight the breadth of our research and outreach activities that are helping shape a Safe System for U.S. roadways.
