2025 Agenda

• Vision Zero requires robust benchmarking and measurement frameworks.
• Key performance indicators (KPIs) must reflect progress across infrastructure, technology, and behaviour.
• This panel will discuss meaningful benchmarks, addressing diverse contexts, accountability and targeted interventions.

• The main source of data on road casualties in Great Britain is the dataset of personal injury collisions reported to police, known as STATS19. 
• STATS19's new format revolutionises road safety data collection, enabling more granular analysis and insights.
• This presentation details the implementation of the new format, addressing practical considerations and future opportunities.

• Explore how data insights can identify road safety hotspots and inform targeted interventions.
• Discuss innovative data-driven solutions to reduce collisions and improve road user safety.
• Examine the challenges and opportunities in collecting, sharing, and analysing road safety data.

• Transport infrastructure can unintentionally harm wildlife by fragmenting habitats, creating movement barriers, and increasing light, noise, and water pollution.
• The West of England Combined Authority is adapting highways to reconnect nature, a project discussed in this presentation.
• Research on nature's impacts, effective connectivity infrastructure, and adapting existing structures as wildlife corridors will be explored.
• Policy changes in the region will ensure future highway infrastructure allows for free wildlife movement across the landscape

• This panel explores cross-sector collaboration to improve drainage systems and mitigate flood risks.
• Experts will discuss strategies to prevent hydroplaning and enhance road safety during adverse weather.
• The discussion will also address integrated approaches to combat pollution from highway runoff.

• Introduce PIARC TC 2.4 UK delegates, aims and objectives.
• Provide an overview of PIARC TC 2.4 research endeavours, opportunities and programme.
• Provide a perspective of how RNOs and ITS can support achieving global sustainability goals.

• Policy Challenges: Examining the complexities of implementing national decarbonisation policies at the local level, including funding constraints, resource limitations, and conflicting priorities.
• Innovation Barriers: Identifying and overcoming obstacles to innovation, such as regulatory hurdles, lack of access to data and technology, and resistance to change.
• Local Leadership & Collaboration: Highlighting successful examples of local authority leadership in driving decarbonisation initiatives, including partnerships with businesses, academia, and the community.
• The Road Ahead: Discussing the challenges and opportunities facing local authorities in the coming years, including the need for long-term planning, investment in infrastructure, and the development of resilient and equitable local road networks.

•  Delving into the complex safety landscape surrounding e-scooters, e-bikes, and other emerging micromobility modes.
• The session will examine current safety data, exploring collision statistics, rider behaviour, and infrastructure challenges.
• What are best practices for regulation, infrastructure design, and user education? With the aim being to to maximize the benefits of micromobility while minimizing risks. 

• The UK government promised a Road Safety Investigation Branch in 2022, but it has not materialised.
• International examples show such bodies are key to preventing crashes.
• The RAC Foundation's Road Collision Investigation Project (2018-22) showed the need for a national approach, while PACTS' work highlights opportunities for better national coordination and deeper investigations.
• Without the branch, the UK risks missing chances to learn, improve, and save lives.

• Asphalt manufacturing and its impact on our planet. 
• Carbon reduction methods available. 
• Logistics and challenges in transportation and handling.
• The key players and decision makers.
• Circularity and innovation. 
• Scalability challenges of carbon reduction and removal solutions. 

• An overview of the policy environment for noise enforcement – where we are now and how we got here.
• ITS UK’s new report, setting out three key recommendations for how Government can support noise enforcement.
• An update on where public support is for noise enforcement.

• Examines the unique safety challenges faced by women in transport professions (e.g., drivers, operators, maintenance staff).
• Explores strategies and best practices to improve safety and security for women working and using different forms of road transport.
• Discusses policy recommendations and industry actions needed to foster a more inclusive and secure environment for women in the transport sector.

Up to eight businesses will be selected to receive a free stand in the launchpad area at Traffex, with automatic entry into the 2025 Launchpad Lightning Presentations and Awards

As part of the Lightning Presentations, each company will deliver a five-minute presentation, it's fast, furious and fun

Guests and judges will be asked to judge the best presentation, with prizes including a free exhibition stand at Traffex 2025.
