Road trauma is a major public health problem in all motorized societies. Doctors who treat casualties must commit themselves not only to providing optimum care but to becoming equally involved in the epidemiological and sociological aspects of road trauma prevention. The prevention of trauma requires a threefold approach: prevent the crash, prevent injury in the crash, and prevent injury aggravation after the crash. Strategies and program options to implement them have been formulated to reduce traffic injury. These strategies are exposure control, crash prevention, injury control, behavior modification, and post-crash trauma management. The combined experience of war injuries and road trauma has lead to major advances in investigation technology and management procedures and far less costly efforts directed at road trauma prevention. The balance between prevention on the one hand and investigation and procedure on the other needs to be addressed. Productive research adequately funded is essential if prevention initiatives are to succeed in reducing the incidence of highway death and injury.
在所有机动车化社会中，道路创伤都是一个重大的公共卫生问题。治疗伤员的医生不仅必须致力于提供最佳护理，还要同样积极参与道路创伤预防的流行病学和社会学方面。创伤预防需要采取三方面的方法：预防碰撞、预防碰撞中的伤害以及预防碰撞后的伤害加重。为减少交通伤害，已经制定了实施这些方法的策略和项目选项。这些策略包括暴露控制、碰撞预防、伤害控制、行为改变以及碰撞后创伤管理。战争伤和道路创伤的综合经验推动了调查技术和管理程序的重大进步，以及针对道路创伤预防的成本低得多的努力。需要解决预防与调查及程序之间的平衡问题。如果预防举措要成功降低公路死亡和伤害的发生率，充足资金支持下的富有成效的研究至关重要。
