2. To understand the modal share of victims and vehicles involved in crashes and to estimate risk functions associated with different road users.
3. To obtain a preliminary understanding of road design from an engineering perspective, design of the built environment from a land use perspective, and community design in a broader sense for control of road traffic fatalities in urban areas.
4. To suggest areas of detailed research for future studies.
