The number of road fatalities on motorways in Austria is forecasted to follow a decreasing trend over the next five years. The projected figures are 23 in 2024, 21 in 2025, 20 in 2026, 18 in 2027, and 16 in 2028. Compared to the actual figure for 2023, the year-on-year variations indicate a consistent decline. The expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, suggesting a sustained reduction in fatalities per year.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in vehicle safety technologies, increased implementation of automated driving systems, and improvements in motorway infrastructure. Additionally, policies aimed at reducing speeding and distracted driving could further accelerate this downward trend in fatalities.
