Transport Safety and Security
Research Day: 22 May 2018, Leipzig
Call for Extended Abstracts
The International Transport Forum (ITF), together with ECTRI, ERTRAC, FERSI, TRB and WCTRS, are pleased to announce the holding of a research day on “Transport Safety and Security”. This research day will be held in Leipzig, Germany on Tuesday 22 May 2018, in conjunction with the International Transport Forum’s 2018 Annual Summit.
Objectives
The objectives of the research day are to bring together top academics and researchers to present and discuss topics relevant to the Summit’s theme, providing highly valued input to the Summit’s core programme.
It is critically important that research results are brought into practice, especially considering the pace with which our transport system is currently evolving. The Research Day offers a great opportunity to exchange ideas not only between researchers, but also with representatives from governments, cities, and other decision makers.
Focus
While the 2018 ITF Summit on “Transport Safety and Security” will address issues ranging from terrorism and cyber-security to road safety and extreme weather disruption, including the risks and benefits of automated driving, the Research Day will limit its scope to road safety and transport resilience. In particular, in order to plan their actions and investments for the coming years, policy makers need the input from researchers to provide knowledge and solutions on how to:
- better protect vulnerable road users, particularly in a context of an ageing society;
- cut the number of seriously injured people;
- ensure automation and connected systems are implemented safely;
- develop resilient transport systems.
Submission Guidelines
Submission of abstracts
We invite the submission of extended abstracts of up to 1000 words that address Transport Safety and Security. Specific sessions will focus on:
- Vulnerable road users
- Road traffic injuries,
- Automation,
- Transport systems resilience.
Abstracts should be submitted by Thursday 22 February 2018 11pm (GMT) on: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itf2018researchday
