The individual (dealing with the human behavior in traffic and how to influence it e.g. intentional and unintentional riskful behavior such as drunk driving or cognitive impairments),
The environment (e.g. creating self-explaining roads and infrastructure that minimizes crash impact) and
The society (e.g. societal norms and translation into policy and enforcement measures).
