Crash tests of road infrastructure facilities linked to a conference on designing and equipping roads with infrastructure, all-year road maintenance, safety of works in the right of way and traffic safety.

This year, the crash tests and the interdisciplinary conference will address the issues of designing and choosing proper safety systems on roads and structures of various categories, and the safety of works in the right of way in traffic.

Discussions will focus on the influence of various types of road pavements and all-year maintenance of roads on road users.

Polish Vision Zero is the only event in Poland and Europe which at the same time and place binds together theoretical and practical aspects of a proper choice of safety systems, road maintenance, and behaviour of road users.

Both the conference and the crash tests take place on the testing ground of Research Institute for Protective Systems in Inowrocław. Conference facilities, constructed especially for this event, allow for a comfortable participation in the event, and the testing ground is the place for a practical reflection of the matters discussed, in the form of crash tests, exhibitions and other presentations made in front of the conference participants.

The Potential of Polish road construction and maintenance market in years 2015-2022 Poland is the second in Europe market of road transportation – after Germany. It is a huge challenge

Funds for the construction of motorways, express ways and other roads amount to approximately 34 billion euros.
