1 2nd SafetyNet Conference European Road Safety Observatory (ERSO) Road Safety Management in Action Evidence based policy setting for the European Community Rome 17th 18th April 2008 Campidoglio, Sala della Protomoteca, Piazza del Campidoglio First Programme
2 An effective road safety management process requires an effective system of monitoring casualty patterns, evaluation of the outcomes of road safety measures and benchmarking against comparable countries. Similarly national level policies and outcomes are evaluated both in terms of the overall contribution to casualty reduction and in terms of the way in which they have been effective. Together, monitoring, evaluation and benchmarking form the basis of an evidenced based safety policies, yet despite this there has, until recently, been no consistent means to do this. It has not been possible to address properly such questions as: How does the safety record of one country compare with another? What are the key safety priorities in a particular country? Are autobahns safer than autoroutes? How many lives can we expect a good alcohol enforcement programme will save? How well do the latest car designs improve the safety of road users? Which new technologies can we expect will make a major contribution to casualty reduction? The DG-TREN funded SafetyNet project has been building the new European Road Safety Observatory to meet the data needs of safety policy-makers and this will be fully launched at a special road safety conference taking place in Rome. Project co-financed by the European Commission, Directorate-General Transport and Energy.
3 2nd SafetyNet Conference ERSO Road Safety Management in Action Evidence based policy setting for the European Community 08:00 09:00 Registration Opening Ceremony 09:00 Conference opened by Professor Pete Thomas, Loughborough University Welcome Address Mr Barrot, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of transport Welcome Address Mr Walter Veltroni, Mayor of Rome Mr Alessandro Bianchi, Minister for Transport, Italy Mr Paolo Costa, Chair of the Transport Committee, European Parliament Speaker from the Slovenian Presidency of the European Council 10:00 The European Road Safety Observatory Unveiling of the Observatory Mr Jean-Paul Repussard, European Commission, Brussels How can the Observatory be used to save lives? Professor Pete Thomas, Loughborough University, UK The Observatory in an Italian context Professor Francesco Filippi, DITS, Rome, Italy 10:30 Break The Road Safety Management Process Session chair Fred Wegman, SWOV, Netherlands Effective road safety management is the key to achieving better performance in in road safety. one of its main tools is evidence-based policy making, focusing on well defined results. Such policy making is based on solid data, monitoring progress and applying knowledge from scientific research. Many countries are developing such an approach. Current developments help the others to improve the effectiveness of their road safety management by offering comprehensive tools and knowledge. Two examples from switzerland and the UK will be presented. Road safety in Switzerland Brigitte Buhmann, BFU, Switzerland Road safety in the United Kingdom Deidre O Reilly, Department for Transport, UK International benchmarking of road safety performances Fred Wegman, SWOV, Netherlands To be able to learn from each other, countries should embrace any possibility to benchmark their safety performance. Benchmarking offers insight in weak and strong areas and shows where and how improvements can be made. Can all countries be compared or should benchmarking only be done within country subsets? what (kind of) data is required to make meaningful comparisons? What can we expect from the future? Panel Session
4 12.00 Counting Crashes and Identifying trends Session Chair Assistant Professor George Yannis, NTUA, Greece Current and future challenges in road accident data in Europe Assistant Prof. George Yannis, National Technical University of Athens, (NTUA), Greece CARE, the EC database with disaggregate road accident data is expanded to the new EU Member States, allowing for a large database at EU-level. Subsequently, the data section of the European Road Safety Observatory is gradually becoming a powerful tool in the hands of road safety analysts and decision-makers at all levels, who will be provided the necessary evidence to support their choices. Improving injury data reliability and compatibly Jeremy Broughton, Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), UK National accident reporting systems differ in completeness of reporting, but also in definition of injury severity. Applying a common methodology in eight EU-countries, comparing and analyzing files of casualty data recorded by police and medical authorities, allow for comparisons of data for non-fatal road accidents and casualties, but also for the estimation of the real number of road accident casualties at EU-level. CADaS Attaining road accident uniformity at EU level George Yannis, Petros Evgenikos, Antonis Chaziris, NTUA, Greece Differences in the national accident variables and values definitions, accident data collection forms structures and the relevant data formats affect both accident data quality and availability. Lack of accident data uniformity among and within EU countries hinders the exploitation of CARE potential and limits data analyses and comparisons at EU level; under this perspective, the recommendation for a Common Accident Data Set (CADaS) has been developed consisting of a minimum set of standardised data elements, which will allow for comparable road accident data to be available in Europe. In this way, more variables and values with a common definition will be available, maximising thus the potential of CARE database and allowing for more detailed and reliable analyses at European level. 13:00 Lunch Modelling road fatality trends in the European countries Eleonora Papadimitriou, Costas Antoniou, George Yannis NTUA, Greece When examining long time series of fatality data, a common trend is revealed for several European countries, in slightly different forms: fatalities first increase towards a breaking point and then decrease. Is this trend universal? What causes it? Does the breaking point happen at the same time in all countries? What do the "lags" between countries capture or represent? How can these trends be used for forecasting? 20 years of using CARE data to support policy making Maria Teresa Sanz-Villegas, European Commission, Brussels Community database on Accidents on the Roads in Europe (CARE) includes all accidents and casualties recorded in the EU countries in disaggregate form and is a powerful tool which makes possible to identify and quantify road safety problems in Europe, evaluate efficiency of road safety measures, determine the relevance of Community actions and facilitate the exchange of experience in the road safety field. Gradually, CARE is becoming the European Road Safety Observatory kernel with Data, Knowledge and Statistical Reports and Analysis notes. CARE data have been exploited over the years to support all aspects of road safety policy making not only for the numerous EU level initiatives but also for hundreds of initiatives at national and regional level, transforming the CARE system into the data and knowledge platform of the European road safety Community. The way forward Discussion
5 15:15 Measuring the direct consequences of our actions Session Chair Martijn Vis, SWOV, Netherlands The causes of accidents depend on different factors. How can you estimate the impact of policy on accidents and resulting injury? Safety Performance Indicators: linking policy to traffic safety in Europe Martijn Vis, SWOV, Netherlands Traffic safety is often measured in terms of the number of accidents and injured. Yet, these quantities depend on many factors simultaneously, so that it is difficult to identify the individual contributions of different types of countermeasures. Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs), on the other hand, provide a solid way to monitor the direct consequences of countermeasures on road safety. Moreover, they are well suited to compare countries' safety performances. For a number of safety-related areas, enough data are already available in many of the European countries to start using SPIs for the benefit of policy making. In other areas, data collection systems still have to be set up. Setting up Safety Performance Indicators systems throughout Europe is essential for a rapid improvement in road safety. 15:35 Break The impact of country comparisons Richard Allsop, ETSC/PIN Comparing the safety performance of countries can give invaluable leads to accelerated improvements in road safety. Without country comparisons, each country will have to reinvent the wheel and traffic accidents and injuries will occur that could have been avoided. Safety Performance Indicators allow benchmarking in separate safetyrelated areas, giving direct leads for knowledge-based policy making. Now let s implement Performance Indicators systems! Shalom Hakkert, Technion, Israel Implementing the use of Safety Performance Indicators in your country or in one of its regions should be done with care. Knowledge is now readily available to set up your own data collection systems for various road safety related areas. SafetyNet provides its up-to-date knowledge on data collection for SPIs in a 'SPI Manual'. Take full advantage of our work and start implementing Safety Performance Indicators. Official hand-over of the SPI Manual Wishes, hopes and ambitions from the field Speaker to be confirmed Panel session Led by Rune Elvik, TOI, Norway Jean-Paul Repussard, EC, Martijn Vis, ERSO/SWOV, Shalom Hakkert, ERSO/Technion, Graziella Jost, ETSC/PIN director); Richard Allsop, ETSC/PIN 19:30 Conference dinner at Villa Aurelia
6 09:00 Benchmarking and Comparisons How can comparisons be made between countries? Session Chair Gilles Duchamp, CETE, France Can the difference in road accident risks between countries be considered as a consequence of local circumstances? What is risk? Why are risk exposure data necessary? Gilles Duchamp, CETE, France In road safety analysis, obtaining risk estimates is a current way to compare local situations. But how should risk be defined and which risks are in use in road safety analysis? Answering these questions, this presentation will show how a lack of exposure data collection limits significantly benchmarking and comparisons. Availability and compatibility of risk exposure data: How SafetyNet leads from data needs to a common framework. Eleonora Papadimitriou, NTUA, Greece From an analytical synthesis of availability and compatibility of risk exposure data and data needs among the EU member states, this presentation will show how SafetyNet managed to provide a new common framework for analyses, including country comparisons, using the CARE accident data together with a set of comparable exposure data. An example: monitoring the three types of road-risk simultaneously Speaker to be confirmed There are three levels of road-risk: Risk exposure (plainly speaking: to be on the road), accident risk (the risk to be in an accident) and fatality-risk (the risk to die in an accident). The presentation will show the necessity of considering the three types of road-risks jointly for a correct interpretation of road-safety data. Risk exposure data as a way for road safety infrastructure improvement in Southern and Eastern European countries Pr. George Kanellaidis, NTUA, Greece Southern and Eastern European countries are faced with specific problems in road safety. The presentation will show how risk exposure data exploitation could contribute to the improvement of their road safety results. 11:00 Break
7 11:30 Improving the understanding of crashes Session Chair Andrew Morris, VSRC, Loughborough University The On-going Need for Representative European In-depth Data Andrew Morris, VSRC, Loughborough University, UK The importance of in-depth data accident can sometimes be over-looked but such data are used in the development of regulations and standards which potentially save hundreds of lives each year. This presentation will explain the importance of in-depth data in the European context and will show how that data are applied in a policy context. Data Collection - European Pilots Steve Reed 1 /Helen Fagerlind 2 VSRC, 1 Loughborough University, UK; 2 Chalmers University, Sweden This presentation will include the updated progress, uses and applications of two in-depth databases which have recently been completed within the SafetyNet project. The first of these, the In-depth European Fatal Accident study is a database including data from Police accident investigation reports in seven Member States. The information gathered from them has been collected using uniform procedures. The second database, an in-depth accident causation database has gathered new data concentrating specifically on a new method of determining the causation of crashes and the factors that lead up to the crash event. From Data to Technological Systems Developments and Beyond Mikael Ljung, Chalmers University/Volvo Cars, Sweden This presentation will involve a discussion of how in-depth data can and is used to assist in the development of technological systems that benefit drivers through a passive, active or integrated safety approach. Of relevance in this discussion is how the SafetyNet accident causation data is being used by the vehicle industry to help in the further advancement of active safety and diver assistance systems. Factors influencing outcomes in fatal accidents Emmanuelle Dupont, Belgian Road Safety Institute, Belgium This presentation involves analysis of the SafetyNet Fatal accident database and provides details of the factors that determine outcomes in fatal crashes. The analysis includes details of vehicle, driver and road infrastructure factors and the perceived influence that each of these factors may exert in determining whether a road user survives or is fatally injured in a road crash. 13:00 Lunch 14:30 Recommendations for Pan-European Road Accident Investigations Heikki Jahi, INRETS, France There are many different in-depth accident investigation and data collection procedures in existence. This presentation will discuss recommendations for in-depth accident investigation that draw on the best practice of these existing procedures. These recommendations can be seen as a starting point for the development of a common methodology and framework for in-depth accident data collection across Europe. In-depth data collection in Italy Luca Persia, DITS, Rome, Italy Thanks to the SafetyNet project, it has been possible to create a systematic process of in-depth data collection in Italy. To do so, numerous cultural, organizational, institutional, and legislative barriers had to be overcome. The process has been made part of a broader program for the creation of a Regional Road Safety Observatory in the Marche region of Italy, currently being constructed on the model of the European Road Safety Observatory. Panel Discussion Next Steps 15:30 Break
8 16:00 ERSO-Information as a source for knowledge- and data-based policymaking on road safety Session chair: Han Tonnon, SWOV, Netherlands (supported by Martijn Vis, SWOV) In order to support the European policymaking in Europe to achieve the EU target of 50% fewer traffic casualties in 2010, the European Road Safety Observatory website ERSO was developed. The ERSO website offers the visitor an up-to-date overview of various databases with road safety data, ready made texts about various road safety subjects such as speeding, links to EU and worldwide road safety projects and organizations and information about road safety data and how to use it. ERSO has the ambition to be used by every road safety professional in Europe as the gateway to all professional information about road safety in Europe. But how and how often do you actually use ERSO? Do you use other sources? Do you know all the practical, ready for use solutions ERSO offers? Can you easily find what you are looking for? Do you have suggestions to further improve ERSO? Because this is the last session of the day there will be no presentations. It will be an interactive session with the audience, giving instant answers to your questions and live demonstrations of practical cases. 17:00 Closing speech Conference organiser VSRC, Loughborough University with local assistance from Centre for Transport and Logistics, University La Sapienza, Rome.
