Workshop 13 - Boosting Sustainable Road Safety Solutions in LMICs

Thursday, October 5 09:30 - 13:00
Chair: Agnes Velez, Lead Transportation Specialist/Multinational Relations, Team Lead at Federal Highway Administration, Washington, United States, and Robin Sébille, Deputy Secretary General of PIARC
Room: Club E, 1st floor

PIARC has an active role in the efforts to improve road safety worldwide through evidence-based studies, technical reports and other type knowledge products. Technical Committee for Road Safety recognizes that 90% of traffic deaths occur in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, and uses this information to assess, identify and share best practices of road safety activities for LMICs through the development of documents and cases studies highlighting international practices and lessons learned. The Technical Committee is focused on making proven countermeasures that are effective in reducing the likelihood and severity of crashes, available to LMICs for consideration in safety project development.

Join us for a workshop dedicated to Effective Road Safety Management and Targeted Road Safety Solutions for LMIC and vivid discussions with key international road safety experts. Important results from key PIARC Publications will be demonstrated, like the famous PIARC Road Safety Manual and the recent Reports on LMIC Specific Issues and Successful Case Studies. Emphasis will be given to Infrastructure, Human Factors, Speeding and Vehicles and the related data and analyses as well as the management and research infrastructure needed in LMICs. A comprehensive set of key recommendations for the successful implementation of best practice will be provided and thoroughly discussed.
