Introduction
General History and outlines of Vision Zero
In 1997, Sweden implemented Vision Zero with a set goal to reach a transportation network with no fatalities or serious injuries. The central principle for Sweden was "Life and health can never be exchanged for other benefits within society." This goal is to create and enforce safety, targeting different modes such as Pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle. Furthermore, Vision Zero was adopted by many countries and cities:  Netherlands, United Kingdom and recently, cities within the United States like Boston, San Francisco, California, and  New York City. In 2014, Mayor de Blasio released a New York City Vision Zero Action plan, a 63 steps-disciplined approach to achieve the goals of Vision Zero. The goals are to reduce the numbers of fatalities by combining three main characteristics elements to assure safety: process and development enforcement, education and engineering to make sure that New York City is working toward achieving Vision Zero.
