Traffic Safety Research (TSR) is an academic-led, international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, Fair Open Access scientific journal. It was founded in 2021 with a clear objective to contribute to the global transition toward the Safe System approach in road transportation.

The TSR publishes high-quality research from a wide range of disciplines—including engineering, psychology, sociology, economics, medicine, political science, and other relevant fields—that help to explain and address road traffic injuries and fatalities. The journal places strong emphasis on the real-world relevance of both the research questions and the findings.
