2 4 th IRTAD CONFERENCE Seoul, September 2009 Background The International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (known as the IRTAD Group) is a permanent working group of the Joint Transport Research of the OECD and the International Transport Forum focusing on all issues related to safety data collection and analysis. It oversees the IRTAD database, one of the most reliable and widely-used road safety databases. IRTAD is open to all countries and the objective of the Group is to progressively extend the coverage of the IRTAD database to more countries with good accident data reporting systems. When appropriate IRTAD offers a learning process so that a new member of IRTAD can progressively provide data which meet the IRTAD standards. The IRTAD Group regularly organises Conferences in order to discuss with a wider audience issues related to data reporting and the use of data in developing road safety policy. The focus of this 4 th Conference is on the use of data for target setting and monitoring. Objectives of the Conference The objectives of the Conference are: To discuss the use of safety data to set targets and monitor road safety performance To examine successful data reporting system and methodologies To encourage knowledge transfer for data collection and analysis To promote the IRTAD activities in non-oecd countries Expected audience 300 participants including: road safety experts, road safety statisticians, road safety researchers and road safety policy makers.
