Why Certification?

Anysystem is subject to safety certification, some examples:

• lifts
• vehicles
• electrical
• heating
• why not the streets and its facilities? Are they inherently more secure?

Why monitoring?

The territory is constantly evolving:

• environmental conditions, functional and structural properties of a road
• new structures
• new settlements
• new signage
• new systems of regulation and traffic safety
• changes in management systems
• environmental adaptations
• qualifications of the urban impact can also change radically the structure of roads and their conditions of security

Road safety: a civil and social obligation

• In 2008, deaths in Europe were about 39 000;
• In 2008, the wounded were in Europe about 3 million and a half;
