Road safety on four continents 2013 in Beijing, China - VTI

WelcomeThe Swedish National <strong>Road</strong> and Transport ResearchInstitute (VTI), together with the Research Instituteof Highway (RIOH), and the Transportation ResearchCenter at Beijing University of Technology, and withsupport of the Ministry of Transport of the People’sRepublic of China, have the pleasure of welcoming youto the 16th international conference “<strong>Road</strong> Safety onFour Continents” in Beijing, China 15–17 May 2013.Deaths and personal injuries in traffic have been oneof the largest global health problems for a long time.Every 30 seconds a person is killed in a road crash– more than 3,000 per day – and almost 1.2 millionpeople per year die in road crashes worldwide. Asmany as 50 million people are injured. More than 85per cent of the road traffic deaths and injuries occur inlow income and middle income countries. This is theextent of the global road <strong>safety</strong> problem.“<strong>Road</strong> Safety on Four Continents” is one of the premierand prestigious conferences in the road <strong>safety</strong> area.The conference in Beijing will be the 16th in a seriesof conferences starting in 1987 with emphasis ontwo continents, Europe and North America and lateron organized also in Africa and Asia including fourcontinents. However, the organisers have welcomedparticipation from other continents and a great numberof delegates from South America and Australia haveparticipated.China will be a key player for the future globalautomotive market and is the fastest growing market inthis respect. With the growing motorization come thenegative effects of transport. <strong>Road</strong> <strong>safety</strong> has in recentyears become a top priority in China and it is withgreat satisfaction this RS4C conference is organizedtogether with partners and supporters for the first timein China.This conference will be an important event, whichallows experts, decision makers, practitioners and otherdelegates with an interest in road <strong>safety</strong> developmentto come together in fruitful discussions and exchangeof information in all different aspects of <strong>Road</strong> Safety. Itwill be a meeting place and during these days we willshare results and experience between organisations,countries, continents and most important betweenpeople.Kent GustafsonChairman Scientific CommitteeMay 14 thRegistration 08.00 - 09.00WorkshopSharing <strong>Road</strong> Safety – InternationalWorkshop in Scientific SafetyEstimationCo-sponsors: Research Institute of Highway ofChina, Beijing University of Technology,ITF/OECD, TRB, VTI09.00-12.00 Morning Session:Highway Safety Manual Developmentand DeploymentPresenters: Karen Dixon and John Milton• Overview of HSM• HSM Applications• Ongoing R&D supporting HSM14.00 -17.00 Afternoon Session:International Sharing and CollaborationInternational Transport Forum (ITF) Work on Sharing<strong>Road</strong> SafetyStephen Perkins, ITF/OECDResearch Framework proposed by ITFBlair Turner, AustraliaCountry/Region ExperiencesChina , Zhou Ronggui, RIOHAustralia, Blair Turner, AustraliaEurope, Harri Peltola, FinlandInternational EffortsFHWA/FEHRL Collaboration, Blair Turner,AustraliaiRAP, Greg SmithPotential for International Collaboration,Panel DiscussionModerator: Xiaoduan Sun, United StatesBlair Turner, AustraliaKaren Dixon, United StatesLaurent Carnis, FranceGreg Smith, iRAPWhat’s Next?Workshops: Washington, DC (January 2014);Paris, France (April 2014); Vancouver, Canada(June 2015)Blair TurnerTRB Subcommittee on International SafetyResearchKaren Dixon3

May 15 thGRSF and World Bank session no. 3 and 6The World Bank, through the Global <strong>Road</strong> Safety Facility(GRSF), is fully committed to the objective of significantand sustained reductions in road traffic injuries, throughactivities designed to accelerate and scale-up the efforts oflow and middle-income countries to build their technicaland managerial capacities, implement cost-effective road<strong>safety</strong> programs and meet their commitments under the UNDecade of Action for <strong>Road</strong> Safety.As part of the 16th edition of “<strong>Road</strong> Safety on FourContinents”, held for the first time in the world’s mostpopulated country, the Global <strong>Road</strong> Safety Facility will behosting an international session on injury risk factors &mitigating measures adapted to the context and dynamics ofrapidly transitioning economies.Adopting a shared frameworkThe Asia-Pacific region includes some of the world’sfastest growing and largest emerging market economies,accounting for almost 50% of the global increase in carsin circulation. With rapidly expanding vehicle fleets andunprecedented road network investments, the region will beinstrumental in reaching the overall goals of the UN Decadeof Action 2011-2020.Asian economies stand at a crossroads as they seek to avertthe road injury carnage that so often accompanies economicgrowth; both by applying well documented practices and bydeveloping innovative and country-appropriate responses.With many commonly shared challenges, Asian economieshave a real opportunity to share good practices and learnfrom each other.Target audienceThis session is of particular interest to delegates representingroad <strong>safety</strong> agencies, public works departments, transportresearch institutes and industry with a stake in theinternational knowledge-sharing agenda.Structure & expected outcomesThe session will elicit a multi-country review of roadtraffic injury risk factors prevailing in rapidly transitioningeconomies and the potential offered by policy responsesand engineering measures, drawing on the findings ofrecent road assessment programs funded by the World Bank.Guest panellists will discuss what improvements need tobe made both at country level and within the internationalcollaboration framework to ensure good practices areadopted much faster than today.TRID the TRIS andITRD DatabaseQuestions abouttransport research?BIC has the answersthe vti Library and information Centre (biC) hasthe responsibility for providing and disseminatinginformation and knowledge within the area of transportresearch in Sweden.
