What is IMPROVA?
IMPROVA is an EU-funded project dedicated to enhancing road safety by addressing the complexities of long-term consequences (LTC) caused by road traffic accidents. Committed to ensuring a high quality of life for all road users, IMPROVA goes beyond merely saving lives by focusing on understanding, quantifying and mitigating the impact of the long-term consequences (LTC) linked to road traffic accidents.
IMPROVA offers open access to project findings and results to improve accessibility to resulting LTC scales, models, methodologies, and procedures. This will empower the global community to collectively advance road safety and prevent the long-term consequences of injuries.

Go beyond ‘Vision Zero’
The EU has pledged to achieve zero road fatalities by 2050. “Vision Zero” is the EU’s strategy for reaching this reduction over the coming decades.
IMPROVA strives for a “Vision Beyond Zero” by preventing life-altering injuries related to road traffic accidents and ensuring high standards of quality of life for all road users in the long term. Our formula protects all road users, including vulnerable pedestrians, micro-mobility users, and motorcyclists. Our tools can transform our understanding of long-term consequences, ensuring no one is left behind in our pursuit of safety.
