General
In 2013, 5.712 pedestrians were killed in road accidents in the EU, which
is 22% of all fatalities. In the last decade, in the European Union,
pedestrian fatalities were reduced by 37%, while the total number of
fatalities was reduced by almost 45%.

Figure 1: Number of pedestrian fatalities and percentage of all road fatalities,
EU, 2004-2013
In 2013, 5.712 pedestrians died

in road accidents in the EU, 22%
of all road fatalities.
In the following tables and figures, the CARE data for 2013 are analysed
in greater detail. It should be noted that the latest available data are used,
meaning 2009 data for BG and EE, 2010 data for MT and SK, and 2012
data for IE.
To compare the pedestrian fatality numbers of different countries, Map 1

and Table 2 take account of the respective population size. The rate varies
from 3 pedestrian fatalities per million population in the Netherlands to
more than 35 pedestrian fatalities per million population in Romania, a
rate about 12 times higher.

Age group
The elderly form the largest group in pedestrian fatalities. The number of
elderly (aged >64) pedestrian fatalities decreased by 28% in the EU
between 2004 and 2013, from 3.497 to 2.507, while the total number of
pedestrian fatalities decreased by 37%. The change in the number of
pedestrian fatalities from 2004 to 2013 by age group is presented in
Figure 4.
Figure 4: Number of pedestrian fatalities by age group, EU, 2004 and 2013 or
The number of pedestrian

fatalities peaks at the age of
80-84.
The proportion of pedestrian fatalities is high for children as well as for

the elderly (see Figure 5). A reason for this could be the lower level of
motorization in these age groups, as well as their higher frailty. Table 4,
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show that the elderly constitute a critical age group
when dealing with pedestrian road safety.

Figure 5: Percentage of pedestrian fatalities of all road fatalities by age group,
EU, 2013 or latest available year
The proportion of pedestrian

fatalities is higher for children
and the elderly than for other
age groups.
Table 4 shows the shares of child and elderly pedestrian fatalities.

Although a high percentage of children fatalities were pedestrians, they
only represent 4% of total of pedestrian fatalities. Moreover, Figure 6
shows that the fatality rate for children is below the average (almost 14
pedestrian fatalities per million population). The pedestrian fatality rate of
the elderly is well above average, and rises quickly from the age of 70
until 85.

Table 6 shows the proportion of pedestrian fatalities in each quarter of
2013. Generally pedestrian fatalities occur most frequently from October
to December and least frequently from April to June. The proportion
between October and December is especially high in Finland, Sweden and
Latvia. The lowest proportion of pedestrian fatalities occurring between
October and December is the one in Greece (19%).

Figure 11 shows that pedestrian fatalities are more seasonal than all road
fatalities, i.e. the number per month is more variable. The number
increases during summer and autumn and decreases in the spring, with
highest fatality numbers in December; whereas the peak for the total
fatalities is in the summer. The increase in pedestrian fatalities during the
winter is probably caused by the higher risk for pedestrians in darkness.
The time of darkness/twilight is longer than in other seasons and
pedestrians are much less visible than vehicles, which can use lights. The
lowest pedestrian fatality numbers occur in April, May and June.

fatalities per month peaks in the

Accident Causation
During the EC SafetyNet project, in-depth data were collected using a
common methodology for samples of accidents that occurred in Germany,
Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and the UK. The SafetyNet
Accident Causation Database was formed between 2005 and 2008, and
contains details of 1.006 accidents covering all injury severities. A detailed
process for recording causation (SafetyNet Accident Causation System –
SNACS) attributes one specific critical event to each driver, rider or
pedestrian. Links then form chains between the critical event and the
causes that led to it. For example, the critical event of late action could be
linked to the cause observation missed, which was a consequence of
fatigue, itself a consequence of an extensive driving spell.
The specific critical event of In the database, 8% (85) of the accidents involve a pedestrian. Males
‘premature action’ is recorded account for 50% of pedestrians and the mean age is 45 years. Figure 12
for just over one third of compares the distribution of specific critical events for pedestrians with
pedestrians in the sample. the distribution for drivers/riders when they are in an accident with a

Premature action is recorded far more frequently for pedestrians than the
drivers/riders in the accident, whilst no action and, in particular, late action
are recorded less frequently. Premature action describes a critical event
with an action started too early, before a signal was given or required
conditions established. This contrast between the participant groups
indicates scenarios where a pedestrian starts an action too early or
without right of way and the drivers/riders react too late or no action is
undertaken, or possible.
Table 7 gives the most frequent links between causes for pedestrians in
the dataset. For this group there are 101 such links in total.

Table 7 gives both an indication of the most frequently recorded causes

and the most frequently recorded links between them. The numbers here
are low but the links are similar to those seen for driver and rider groups
in other basic fact sheets, with faulty diagnosis, observation missed and
inadequate plan being the common causes. Distraction is a factor in
pedestrian accidents, leading to missed observations, decision errors and
inadequate plans.

Road Accident Health Indicators
Injury data can be obtained from a wide range of sources, such as police
and ambulance reports, national insurance schemes, and hospital records,
each of which provides a specific but yet incomplete picture of the injuries
suffered in road accidents. In order to obtain a comprehensive view of
these injuries, the EU Council issued a Recommendation that urges
member states to use synergies between existing data sources and to
develop national injury surveillance systems rooted in the health sector.
At present, thirteen member states are routinely collecting injury data in
a sample of hospitals and delivering these data to the Commission. This
system is called the EU Injury Database (EU IDB).
Within the EU IDB “transport module” injuries suffered in road accidents

are recorded by “mode of transport”, “role of injured person” and
“counterpart”. These variables can complement information from police
By 2012, thirteen member
records, in particular for injury patterns and the improved assessment of
states routinely collected data in
injury severity. The indicators used include the percentage of casualties
a sample of hospitals and
attending hospital who are admitted to hospital, the mean length of stay
contributed them to the EU
of hospital admissions, the nature and type of body part injured, and
injury Database
potentially also long term consequences of injuries.

Figure 13 is based on IDB data from nine countries for accidents that
occurred between 2005 and 2008. Vulnerable road users (pedestrians,
cyclists, motorcycles and mopeds) accounted for almost two thirds (63%)
of road accident casualties attending hospital, and for over half of
casualties admitted to the hospital (56%).
