The workshop proceedings of International Cooperation on Theories and Concepts in Traffic Safety (ICTCT), held in Helsinki and Tallinn, October 1992 is presented. The workshop covers: (1) Formulation of sustainable transport systems, including road safety aspects: (2) Matters such as the usefulness of conflict observation as a diagnostic and evaluation technique in the short term for existing and proposed infrastructural measures; and (3) The use of other methods of evaluating road safety measures, such as questionnaires, interviews and accident analysis. The following papers are included: Bridges between policy and research (Kray,H); International co-operation on exchanging data and knowledge for road safety management (Mortelmans,J); How to educate our decision-makers: A challenge for researchers (Muhlrad,N); A framework for the prediction of the road safety effects of new technology (Janssen, W and van der Horst,R); Traffic conflicts as indicators of pedestrian safety in a DRIVE project (Draskoczy,M); The effects of speed limiters of heavy vehicles - a traffic simulation study (Kulmala,R and Beilinson,L); The speed limiter in the car for safer traffic and better social climate in the cities (Hyden,C); Varying speed limits based on weather conditions (Pajunen,K, Mänttäri,J and Almquist,S); Evaluation of driver workload during a simulated and an actual driving task (Malaterre,G); What can we learn from drivers behaviour and accidents in order to discuss the relevance of new technologies (Saad,F and Fleury,D); Future safety gains and safety problems connected to new technologies (Chaloupka,C); Video recording of traffic accidents (Pasanen,E); cardiovascular diseases and traffic safety (Elgarov,A); Drivers emotional reactions in conflict situations on roads (Vaisman,AI and Volper,GI); Interaction between cyclists and car drivers: which role could technology play (Schmidt,L); A study of the behaviour of drivers of electric minicars (Risser, R and Stockinger,M); The pedagogical use of traffic conflict technique (Zuzan,W); Monitoring traffic behaviour in the context of an evaluation of a national traffic police force (Zaidel,D, Hocherman,I and Hakkert,S).
