Abstract
The slow-moving vehicles (SMVs), mostly farm-vehicles are involved in more than 250 traffic accidents each year on Swedish roads. On average 10 people are being killed, 66 are serious and 267 slightly injured in road traffic accidents involving SMVs each year.

Further research and development is needed to decrease the number of traffic accidents involving SMVs.
