Road safety: modelling a global phenomenon
This report provides an overview of the different patterns of road fatality and injury rates in 21 countries, and their determinants.
The main result of the study are models of road fatality rates as a function of seat belt wearing rates, enforcement activities regarding speed (using speed cameras) and alcohol (with random breath testing), and economic influences (principally unemployment). Experience from around the world also shows that laws lowering speed limits and legal blood alcohol limits are effective in saving lives.

Australian infrastructure statistics—Yearbook 2013 and Key Australian infrastructure statistics booklet
The Yearbook is an important piece of work for the Department and provides a comprehensive evidence base to examine long-term and emerging trends as well as inform policy development and regulatory reform in the transport, energy, water and communications sectors. It is the only comprehensive source of time series statistics for Australia's major areas of economic infrastructure. The Yearbook is accompanied by the first Key Australian Infrastructure Statistics booklet which is a summary of statistics from the Yearbook.

International Road Safety Comparisons—Annual
This report presents road deaths and road death rates for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations and Australia. The rates allow for a comparison of Australia’s road safety performance with that of other OECD nations by accounting for the differing levels of population, motorisation and distances travelled. The latest available international data is for 2023.
Fatalities per 100,000 population is the measure specified in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Indicator 3.61) to monitor road crash trauma.
