The theme "applying innovative approaches to safe road management"
reflects the growing role of road research as a supporting instrument to
future European legislation in the context of the mid-term assessment of
the Community objectives to halve the number of road fatalities. The
panellists are all distinguished representatives of the research
community involved in the RANKERS project (RANKing for European Road
Safety), an initiative which seeks to gain new knowledge of the
infrastructure's interaction with the driver and his vehicle in order to
identify optimal road engineering measures.
Notes:
The workshop is free and will be followed by a buffet lunch. As seating
is limited, please register with the ERF Secretariat by Monday 20
February.
