Vision Zero: Evolution History and Developing Trend in Road Safety: A Scoping Review

 Vision Zero is a public policy approach that aims to achieve a road traffic system with no fatalities or serious injuries caused by road traffic crashes (RTCs).

 This study aimed to investigate the history of Vision Zero's evolution and trends in road safety worldwide.

 This scoping review was conducted based on the Arksey and O’Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute framework. This framework consists of five steps: research question identification; identifying relevant studies; selection of study; data charting; gathering, summarizing, and reporting the results.

 Finally, 37 articles met the inclusion criteria. The trend of deaths caused by RTCs in the countries implementing Vision Zero showed a decreasing rate in deaths caused by RTCs. Although this rate varies in different countries, generally in some countries like Sweden it was explicit.

 Vision Zero has had an evolutionary development in many countries. Due to the significant impact of the implementation of Vision Zero, many countries are seeking to adopt or implement this approach. Despite the challenges of implementing Vision Zero in different countries, there is a growing interest in implementing it in different settings based on its philosophy.
