Serious Injuries - The Hidden Trauma

Technologies - the way of the future?

Workshop Descriptions

Road policing plays a significant role in changing road user behaviour and keeping the community safe. What is currently working and what can be done differently? This workshop will discuss best practice road policing and how some of the current challenges are being addressed. Topics covered include Fatigue, Speed Limit Setting, Low Level Speeding and Impaired Driving.

This workshop will feature presentations from experts in the youth road safety field and explore best practice in road safety education in early childhood, school and community based settings.

Invitation only. A number of high profile experts from research, business and risk management will offer their insights into human behaviour, road safety and risk mitigation. This event is tailored to the transportation sector, and organisations that rely upon heavy transport in their business. We will present to an audience of CEOs, CFOs, Risk Managers, HR Managers, OHS Managers.

Often, the focus of road safety seems firmly set on fatalities. However, we know that serious injury is the much larger, but hidden trauma. This focus needs to be shifted urgently and this workshop will investigate how we can increase the emphasis by the community, media and decision makers on serious injuries, so that significant reductions can follow.

Vehicle safety and related technologies are developing at a rapid pace. What are the future winners in relation to road safety? Are autonomous vehicles the way of the future? This workshop will explore new and upcoming technologies such as autonomous driving, discover their potential to reduce road trauma and discuss factors that may help or hinder their introduction.
