Description and Table of Contents
Description
The modern society is to a great extent characterized by a tremendous growth in transportation. The freedom to move is a central and fundamental human value. Transportation together with communication are the most important factors for increasing the level of mobility and human interaction. As mobility has increased an associated growth in health problems has been witnessed. The number of fatalities and serious injuries caused by road traffic is unacceptable. Great efforts have been made to reduce these figures and a downward trend has been visible in most countries. Still, a lot remains to be done. This collection of contributions by scientists and administrators presents some of the latest findings in the area of mobility and its relation to medical treatment, rehabilitation, public health and prevention.
