2 International Road Federation
Since we were established in 1948, the In-ternational Road Federation’s work has been anchored in a proud tradition of engineering excellence supported by a forward-looking vision of roads at the service of society.
People and goods need to move for an economy to grow, for wealth to be created, for prosperity to be shared. Much as a dy-namic economy depends on the movement of goods and services, people rely on roads to access employment, education and health services. Or, as we like to put it “Better Roads. Better World”.
However, the intuition of my predecessors was that road investments had to be accom-
panied by a continuous flow of new ideas and knowledge, leading to safer, cleaner, more resilient, and better connected trans-portation systems.
As a leading industry organization, we un-derstand the importance of setting a long term agenda for education, advocacy and knowledge.
With rapidly changing societal aspirations, our industry will only be successful in its efforts to build tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure and mobility services by em-bracing the positive values of leadership and innovation.
By promoting these innovations and the suc-cesses in our industry, the IRF can provide a forward-looking road map for others to fol-low.
Of course, innovation cannot happen in iso-lation and without investing in human talent. We aren’t just building tomorrow’s transpor-tation infrastructure; we are also preparing tomorrow’s transportation leaders.
One of the ways the IRF develops future talent is through educational scholarships. Our Fellowship Program is what many have called IRF’s Crown Jewel. The core vision of the program is to take students from devel-oping countries and give them an opportu-nity to earn a degree at a highly regarded university, and hence, by educating the next generation of road leaders, building capacity where it is most needed.
Since 1949, we have helped to fund the ed-ucation of 1,450 transportation professionals from 119 countries. Many IRF Fellows have shared with us their personal stories and the life-changing impact the Fellowship program has had for them. Please take a moment to listen to their stories and ask yourself how you, or your organization, can get involved in this important program.
In building these leadership skills and over-coming the sector’s increasingly complex mobility challenges, new partnership mod-els need to be identified. By bringing togeth-er the private sector, academia and public agencies under the same roof, the IRF re-mains the organization where industry part-nerships can be built.

112018 Annual Report: An Executive Summary of Activities
Former Director of the ITS Joint Program Office Shelley Row noted in her opening address “Disruptive technology and a data avalanche are creating an upheaval in transportation. Some of these disruptions have started; others will arrive within ten years. In the meantime, many capital investments for transportation infrastructure last 50 years or more. Transportation planning and businesses cannot continue business-as-usual when business is anything but usual”.
“We have dubbed this event Roads to Tomorrow, or R2T for short, because, as an industry, we understand the importance of setting a long term agenda for our research activities and capital investments” according to
IRF President & CEO C. Patrick Sankey. “With rapidly changing societal aspirations, we will only be successful in our efforts to build tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure and mobility services by embracing the positive values of leadership and innovation.”
“In overcoming the sector’s increasingly complex mobility challenges, new partnership models need to be identified. By bringing together the private sector, academia and public agencies under the same roof, IRF remains the organization where these industry partnerships can be built” concluded IRF Vice Chairman Dr. Bill Sowell.

CONFERENCES
IRF members and partner organizations shared ideas, solutions and innovative approaches enabled by the exponential growth in analytical tools and technological enablers on the occasion of a landmark Road Safety & Innovation Forum held in Sofia, Bulgaria on March 27, 2018. The international knowledge-sharing event was attended by more than 350 participants.
Opening the event, Dr. William Sowell, Chairman of the IRF Committee on ITS noted “We have seen other countries, take steps to prioritize road safety measures in the face of similar statistics, and who now figure among the world’s leading road safety performers. These countries embrace the Safe Systems approach, they actively seek to learn from one another’s successes and failures, and they understand the value of leveraging innovation and technology for maximum results”.
European countries are at an important milestone in the achievement of their road traffic injury reduction targets. Since 2015, the gap between the best and worst-performing EU member states has continued to widen, suggesting that cost-effective measures, enabled
by actionable data and technological progress, need to be investigated. Bulgaria itself stands at an important crossroads with the announced introduction of a national road tolling scheme whose proceeds will be re-invested back into the road system notably through road safety measures, according to H.E. Nikolay Nankov, Minister of Regional Development and Public Works who keynoted the event.
Solutions presented during the Forum included GIS data collection tools that connect road asset surveys with safety investment decisions, road markings optimized for
ADAS-enabled vehicles and recent innovations in passive safety measures designed to protect vulnerable road users.

European Road Conference, Dubrovnik, Croatia: Conference Celebrates Corridors for Shared ProsperityThe city Dubrovnik in Croatia hosted a highly successful gathering of 500 transport stakeholders on October 22-24 to deepen the understanding of regional mobility challenges and achieve consensus on key policy, investment, and planning measures.
Held at the invitation of key representative organizations, the Conference was formally opened by H.E Oleg Butković, Minister of the Sea, Transport & Infrastructure, Republic of Croatia in the presence of ministers of transport and senior road agency executives from Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Bulgaria and Serbia.
“Croatia is an important gateway to Europe” noted Mr. Josip Skoric, CEO of Hrvatske Ceste and President of Via Vita. “We connect two shores of the Adriatic Sea and represent the deepest cut of the Mediterranean into the European continent. Croatia was therefore ideally located to host discussions between the region’s experts of the road and traffic sector”.
“Significant challenges remain to improve the safety, efficiency, ecological sustainability of our road network” according to Tomislav Josip Mlinarić, Dean of the Faculty of Transport & Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb. “And these are exactly the topics which our Faculty has successfully investigated through our world-class research facilities”.
Against a backdrop of significant connectivity investments across South East Europe, the Conference featured 20 cross-sector panels on topics ranging from resilient infrastructure design to effective road traffic safety policies all designed to ensure the value of roads to society is maximized.
“With 2 years remaining under the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, the devastating social and economic impacts of this epidemic can no longer be ignored” Rik Nuyttens, President of the European Union Road Federation (ERF) underscored. “It truly is time for results. The region has an important opportunity and responsibility to examine ways to prevent what has become a global public health crisis”.
“The European Road Conference achieved another of its key objectives to look at how innovation is being leveraged to deliver smart, energy-efficient and resilient highways.” noted IRF
Chairman Eng. Abdullah Al-Mogbel. “Conferences such as this one will help us deploy a new generation of roads that assist the transition to autonomous mobility and environmental sustainability”.
14 International Road Federation
CONFERENCES
Now in its seventh edition, IRF’s flagship event in the Caribbean confirmed its status as an essential gathering point for the region’s top transportation decision-makers and professionals, combining regional case studies and international insights. Close to 150 delegates from 10 countries, including senior policy makers from Jamaica, Belize, Guyana, Cayman, attended the 4-day event.
A focal topic for the 2018 Congress was the development of safer and more resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding increasingly challenging weather patterns.
Opening the event, CDEMA Executive Director Ronald Jackson said, “We are witnessing a steady increase in vulnerability and exposure over the last decade in all the Caribbean Territories which have the potential to impact adversely on road infrastructure, both directly and indirectly. Damage to road infrastructure has secondary effects, cutting off access of affected persons to emergency relief and essential services for extended periods.”
IRF Executive Committee Member Dr. William Sowell noted, “Adequate preparation for a man-made or natural disaster should be an on-going process. Whether it is back-up power sources for signalized intersections, real-time video surveillance for optimal roadway network command and control, or being able to implement contra-flow traffic patterns to exfill the population from dangerous conditions, prior planning and execution of the disaster plan is essential for saving saves and property.”
Road safety continues to remain another key preoccupation for the region’s top transportation policy-makers.
Transport & Mining Minister H.E. Robert Montague recommitted his country to a long term agenda of safer roads. Jamaica, he noted already uses the “Human-Environment-Vehicle Model” in designing its road safety policies. With the advent of black boxes, he expresses his hope that crash investigators would complete their understanding of road traffic crash patterns. “Jamaica will be in the very near future providing the globe with highly trained and skilled Traffic Accident Investigators, Analysts and Reconstructionist”, Minister Montague pledged, praising a recent initiative led by the Ministry to develop traffic crash investigation skills through training workshops.
The event concluded with the official launch of the IRF Caribbean Affairs Committee, open to IRF members, whose goals are to strengthen regional collaboration, foster IRF Training and presence in the Caribbean, find and support IRF Fellowship Candidates and interact and work with other international entities wherever appropriate.

2018 TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS
From leveraging roadway analyt-ics to understanding the safety benefits of conspicuous roads, IRF member organizations shared their know-how and solutions with Inter-traffic Amsterdam visitors.
Workshop 1: Unleashing Roadway Analytics Presented by the IRF Committee on ITS
Roadway analytics are powerful new tools that enable road opera-tor and city managers to carry out on-demand traffic analysis to iden-tify congestion bottlenecks and vi-sualize the results of infrastructure improvement projects. Join this workshop to understand how “big data” can help you extract action-able insights from a range of data sets, whether you want to understand historic traffic trends or benchmark roadway performance in support of targeted investment strategies.
Workshop 2: Smart City Mobility: from Vision to Applications Presented by the IRF Committee on ITS
By 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas. The significant task road authorities face in tackling the problem of increas-ing congestion cannot be underestimated. This session will present the current state of the art in establishing mobility plans and the associated ITS deployment scenarios based on emerging smart city paradigms. The session will review advances in intelligent transportation systems with specific focus on integrated mobility solutions. Case-studies and
examples of implementations in ur-ban environments will be present-ed.
Workshop 3: Diagnosing Road User Risk with Safety Audits Presented by the IRF Committee on Road Safety
Road safety audits are effective and efficient tools to help road au-thorities reduce the number of ac-cidents and casualties, because design standards alone cannot guarantee road safety in all condi-tions. IRF strongly supports the ex-tended and expanded use of road safety audits and inspections at all stages of road design and opera-
tions. Drawing from international experience, this workshop will place particular emphasis on successful practices that have contributed to reducing injury risk for all road users.
Workshop 4: Safety Benefits of Conspicuous Roads Presented by the IRF Committee on Road Safety
A disproportionate share of serious and fatal road traffic crashes happen at night or in low-visibility conditions. The problem is increasingly com-pounded with an ageing motoring population and under-investments in the maintenance of roadside safety assets. Join key experts from aca-demia and industry to understand what measures can be taken to make roads more self-explaining in all driving conditions, and how marking and signs are key factors in enable a shift towards partial and full vehicle automation.

Ghana Builds Capacity in Road Resilience with IRF
50 engineers from various Ghanaian agencies took part in a two-day training program on designing climate-resilient road networks.
The IRF workshop “Building Climate Resilient Rural Road & Highways” held in Ghana on April 25-26 addressed the topic in a holistic using used real world case studies to illustrate the importance of pavement design decisions in achieving longer-lasting networks and lowering mainte-nance costs.
In opening the event, Dr. Patrick Bekoe, IRF’s regional manager for West and Southern Africa, observed that climate change had put at risk the lives of millions of people worldwide including many coastal cities, and trillions of dollars of investment in transport infrastructure and services. He further noted that a transport system that could not withstand the emerging impacts of climate change would prove burdensome, impose high costs of repairs, and cause significant economic losses.
IRF Delivers International Workshop on Speed Enforcement The International Road Federation joined forced with the European Commission and the World Bank to deliver a one-day workshop, titled “Safety Camera Use for Speed Enforcement,” on October 16, 2018 as part of the Eastern Partnership Road Safety Project.
Attended by Senior Ministry of Interior from Belarus, Georgia, Azerbai-jan and Moldova, the course built on successful practices and technol-ogies established in the UK, the Netherlands and France thanks to the input of IRF Members Road Safety Support and SensysGatso Group.
“With excessive or inappropriate speed contributing to 1 in 3 road traffic fatalities worldwide, measures to address speed remains one of the most effective pathways for countries and cities to reach their traffic injury reduction goals. Without a strong, sustained public commitment to robust enforcement of speeds on the network by government, speed management programs are unlikely to be effective,” noted Bren-dan Halleman, IRF Vice President for Europe & Central Asia, in opening the event.

IRF Members Adopt Safety Guidelines in Road Work Zones IRF has drawn urgent attention to the need for coordinated efforts to foster a safety culture on road construction sites, currently responsible for hundreds of thousands of injuries and thousands of deaths worldwide.
Work zones present an in-creased risk for workers who build, repair, and maintain roads, bridges, and tunnels, as well as for a variety of road us-ers, including pedestrians, bi-cyclists, and motorcyclists, who are confronted with less than ideal safety conditions in these work zones. Global statistics on work zone-related injuries are not available, however the US Federal Highway Administra-tion (FHWA) reported 25,485 of work zone crashes involving at least one injured party in 2015, of which 642 resulted in at least one fatality. These figures sug-gest that, taken at global level, hundreds of thousands of inju-ries, and thousands of fatalities occur every year in work zones.
Work zones thus represent a very serious safety concern for the road community, particularly across the developing world where an abun-dance of road rehabilitation projects have not been accompanied by commensurate efforts and investments to foster a culture of safe road construction.
According to Chris Sanders, Lindsay Transportation Solutions and Chair-man of the IRF Road Safety Committee, “Infrastructure is aging across the globe and must be maintained to preserve its value. However, these work zones offer much more dangerous driving conditions and increase danger to workers and motorists. Solutions exist, but their use is hindered without comprehensive policies and consistent implementation.”
In an effort to tackle the un-acceptable rate of work zone injuries, the IRF is releasing a policy statement today titled “Mandating Safer Work Zones Globally” covering the estab-lishment of national guidelines, the selection and use of tempo-rary traffic control devices, work zone inspections and the need to invest in strengthening skills within public agencies and the contracting community.
Pete Johnston, 3M, and Chair-man of the IRF Temporary Traf-fic Control Subcommittee not-ed: “Countermeasures that are proven to improve safety and mobility are minimal invest-ments when weighed against
the total cost of most projects. To insure effective and sustainable tem-porary traffic control set-ups, authorities should include provisions in their national guidelines that mandate traffic control plan implementation, and that traffic control plans need to be part of the budget and funded.”
“IRF’s advocacy work furthers our global mission to unite all road stake-holders around a consistent vision,” said IRF Chairman Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel. “This latest policy statement underscores the need to set am-bitious road safety requirements at all stages of road design, construction and operation.”

CATALYZING EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT
The International Road Educational Foundation is charity that is the catalyst for the sustained funding of the IRF Fellowship Program and the grants given to individual students.
Key stakeholders of the program include:
• the students whose lives were substantially changed through the support they received;
• the universities who partner with us to offer preferential tuition fees in world-class learning environments ;
• and the employers whose support enhanc-es the pool of talent our industry so critically needs.
What I wanted to underscore was the special
relationship that bonds the organizations that support the program and the IRF Fellows who receive a leg up in achieving their educational and professional dreams.
Louis Berger, and now the Berger Charitable Foundation, have long been active supporters of the program. Every year, we fund a named grant that enables a deserving international student to continue their studies and bolster their academic endeavors. We are particularly pleased when they return to their home coun-tries and utilize the knowledge thus gained in an environment where it can make a difference.
But each of the 1,500 individuals the program has supported has had an individual trajectory. In fact, there as many stories as there are IRF Fellows. Please take a moment to ask them about their experience with the Fellowship pro-gram. And please ask yourselves how your or-ganization can ensure that other highly qualified applicants can continue fulfilling their dreams of continuing their education and advancing their professional goals.
We need all your support and energy.
Sofia Berger, Director, International Road Educational Foundation
