The global burden of injuries is enormous, but has often been overlooked in attempts to improve health. We review measures that would strengthen existing efforts to prevent and treat injuries worldwide. Scientifically-based efforts to understand risk factors for the occurrence of injury are needed and they must be translated into prevention programmes that are well designed and assessed. Areas for potential intervention include environmental modification, improved engineering features of motor vehicle and other products, and promotion of safe behaviours through social marketing, legislation, and law enforcement.

Globalization has brought India into the forefront of progress. This development has provided a substantial economic stimulus to enhance progress across India which includes enabling people to afford cars and increase their movement on the roads. Various multinational companies including motor vehicle manufacturers have created establishments in India. The increased usage of the cars has enhanced the need for developing the infrastructure where these motor vehicles can move safely. Developing safe roads which connect destinations and cities is a key foundation to infrastructural development in a country where the population is more than 1 billion. This commentary reviews various aspects of road safety in heavily populated and developing India where motor vehicle trauma is a modern epidemic.

Commensurate validity and verification concerns as well as incoherencies and uncertainties vested in available transport/ traffic data, inevitably add to the complexity of analyses and the level of innovative contextualisation required to apply said towards inferences intended to guide transport/traffic management policy- and decision-making.

The 29th Olympic Games have successfully closed. From the end of July, public transport departments developed 34 Olympic Special Bus Lines to facilitate audiences, staff, volunteers and media personnel to take. Although, the Olympic Special Buses look like general buses from the appearance, most of them have already reached the European IV emission standards for diesel vehicles, cleaner and protecting environment than ordinary gasoline and diesel vehicles. Olympic Special Bus Line 1 which operates around the National Stadium and National Aquatics Center is green and protecting environment because its buses are equipped with mixed power vehicles, no pollution. Choosing the lower pollution and no pollution buses to serve the Olympic Special Bus Lines is to promote environmental protection, achieving the promises of "Green Olympics".
