This paper outlines the various technologies which can reduce both the risk of crashes occurring and the severity of injuries if a crash does occur. The development of electronic sensing systems in recent years has the promise to make major reductions in accidents occurring. However, crashworthiness design will still play a major role. The function and effectiveness of the various systems are outlined and discussed. In low- and middle-income countries, motorised two-wheelers (MTWs) are a major component of the traffic mix. The most effective and practical short-term solutions for better MTW safety are daylight use of headlights and anti-lock brakes. The importance of the various new car assessment programmes (NCAP) is emphasised.
