Plenary Session 2: Safety for All Road Users

Transport system function as a safety concern:

• People: human limits and differences, a key factor in traffic safety.

• The vehicle: many safety functions are now in the vehicle - does this create a false sense of security?

• The infrastructure:
are today's roads out of step with today's cars? Can the infrastructure communicate with drivers and cars in a way that serves safety?

Is there a positive interaction people - cars - infrastructure? Have we forgotten somebody? What is the Zero Vision today?

Moderator: Claes Tingvall, Swedish Road Administration, Sweden 
Bente Skjetne, Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Norway: Universal Design
Sami Koskinen, VTT, Finland: Sensing Car
Einar Gudmundsson, Iceland: Influencing the driver for better traffic safety and environment
