National Road Safety Conference 2015: call for papers

5 May 2015

The organising committee has issued a call for papers from anyone interested in presenting at the event. While the themes for the conference sessions have not been finalised, the agenda is likely to include:

• Presentations from senior road safety professionals (team leaders/heads of unit) explaining how they have adapted the way they deliver road safety services against a backdrop of shrinking resources and finances. Presentations may cover income generation, sponsorship/ working in partnership with the private sector, using technology to develop new ways of communicating/delivering messages etc...
• A review of the safety implications of encouraging people to use more sustainable methods of travel, and initiatives to enhance the safety of vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists and children.
• A review of the latest developments and innovations in road safety engineering. In addition the main conference programme will include a ‘topical topics’ session, and as last year there will be a fringe programme for which all relevant presentations will be considered.

Anyone interested in presenting should submit a brief overview of their proposed presentation by email to nrawlings@stennik.com. Alternatively, for more information or an informal chat contact Nick on 01379 650112.
