Rezumat. Decesele înregistrate ca urmare a accidentelor rutiere situează România în fruntea țărilor europene cu cele mai îngrijoratoare statistici, poziționând managementul mobilității într-o poziție deficitară, de cele mai multe ori motivată prin vulnerabilitatea infrastructurii rutiere. Lucrarea de față, realizată cu ajutorul statisticilor oferite de Poliția Română, analizează impactul pe care îl are calitatea carosabilului la nivelul producerii accidentelor în determinarea gravității vătămării corporale a participanților la eveniment. Studiul prezentat este realizat pe o perioadă de 5 ani pe raza județului Brașov.
