The study is based on a systematic literature review of all previous scientific papers focusing on traffic safety culture and organizational safety culture. The review is conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. The review is conducted as a scoping review, mapping and describing the research field, and previous studies are reviewed and described based on the following criteria:
1) Which TSC levels (community: national, regional, local, organisational) does the paper include?
2) Which transport mode is included
3) Which aspects of TSC are included in the paper? e.g. descriptive norms, freedom values, fatalistic beliefs, the sociocultural position of pedestrians etc.
4) How are the aspects measured? Which survey questions?
5) Is individual road safety behaviour measured? With which questions?
6) Are accidents (or other safety outcomes) measured?
7) What are the hypothesized relationships and mechanisms between TSC elements, behaviour and accidents, based on which theory?
8) What do the studies find regarding these relationships?
9) Does the study say anything about factors influencing different aspects of TSC (e.g. infrastructure, education, interaction, policies).
10) Does the study include other sustainability goals than Safety?
