NRSC 2025: call for papers

27 March 2025

Road Safety GB is inviting submissions from anyone interested in presenting at the 2025 National Road Safety Conference in November.

While the committee is keen to hear from anyone who would like to present on any road safety related topic, they are particularly interested in speakers and presentations relating to the following:

• E-Scooters (and other forms of micro-mobility) - Is it time, despite the safety concerns, for road safety professionals to embrace e-scooters, because of their popularity and the potential benefits they offer as an affordable and sustainable form of transport?
• Young adults on the roads - How do young adults currently use the roads and how might that change looking into the future?
• Reviewing fatal collisions - The organising committee would like to hear from local authorities about the process they use to review fatal collisions, and the benefits that accrue from the process. The committee is also keen to receive an update on progress with regard to the Road Safety Investigation Branch (RSIB).
• ‘Quick wins’ - Are there any quick wins within road safety – simple things that road safety professionals can do to reduce collisions and casualties?
• In-vehicle technology - How can we persuade drivers of the benefits of using Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ie: ISA, lane assist etc – rather than turning these features off?
• AI in road safety - Is there a role for AI in casualty reduction, and if so what?
• Safe System, Vision Zero - Practical examples, from here in the UK and abroad, from road safety teams /partnerships etc that have embarked on their Vision Zero journey – including examples of messaging for the public.
• International presentations - The committee is keen to invite road safety professionals from outside the UK to consider presenting as well as attending.
• Evaluation - Practical examples of effective and robust evaluation from road safety professionals, including ‘how to’ tips and hints – and things to avoid.
• Speed - what can we do to convince road users of the importance of travelling at safe speeds etc?
• Roads policing (enforcement) & education - Practical examples where enforcement and education have been deployed in tandem – lessons learnt etc
