道路交通事故伤的现状和对策

The Current Situation of Road Traffic Trauma and Its Countermeasures

交通事故伤已成为"世界第一公害",每年全世界因交通事故致死者约35万人,尽管各国采取了许多措施,但收效甚微。就中国而言,共拥有机动车1 300万辆,占全世界拥有量的1.6%,但每年因交通事故致死者约5万人,占全世界致死人数的14.3%。现在每万辆机动车的致死人数为40～50人,远高于西方国家。近年来,按每万辆机动车致死人数计算,已呈不断减少趋势,但总致死人数未见改变。文中对此原因作了分析,并提出了相应的对策。

Injuries in traffic accidents have come to 'the first public hazard in the world'. About 350 thousand people died of traffic accidents each year. Although lots of measures have been adopted to prevent traffic accidents, the situation has improved insignificantly. So far as in China, there are around 13 million motor vehicles (MV), accounting for 1.6% of total MV in the world. However, about 50. 000 people died of MV accidents (MVA) each year, accounting for 14.3% of total deaths of MVA in the world. The number of death per 10, 000 MV in China varied from 40 to 50 people each year, being significantly more than those in western countries. Recently, the number of deaths per 10, 000 MV per year has gradually reduced, while the total number of MVA, deaths, and the injured by traffic accidents remains unchanged. The reasons for this are analysed in detail and some countermeasures are put forward in the paper.
