An Innovative Path to “Bend the Curve” on Global Road Safety
Each year, 1.24 million people are killed and 20 to 50 million injured on the world’s road. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the number of people killed in traffic-related accidents is expected to steadily rise to 2 million by 2030. To
“bend the curve” on global road traffic injury and deaths worldwide, a series of public/private partnerships with a coalition of like-minded organizations and companies is required. This session will provide a strategic platform for convening these organizations and advancing the implementation of initiatives to address global road safety challenges.

Autopilot - Communications needs for automated driving
Numerous companies and research organizations have developed working-prototype autonomous vehicles and it is reasonable to assume that the utopia of automated driving might soon become a reality. This session will present the latest developments in the area of automated driving and will review the requirements of vehicular communication systems.

What if? - Human factors and regulatory requirements for the introduction of automated driving
“Every driver shall at all times be able to control his vehicle or to guide his animals” reads article 8, paragraph 5 of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (signed in 1968), the international treaty designed to facilitate international road travel and increase road safety by establishing standard traffic rules to which contracting parties adhere. Automated driving is a game-changer, not only for technology but also for traffic regulation and the roles and responsibilities of drivers. Particularly challenging will be the transition period where vehicle control may need to be handed-off to drivers when automation fails or is temporarily not available. This session will demonstrate the need to incorporate human factors in the automated future, also discussing how such a future will impact global road traffic policy. This session is organized jointly with the UNECE Inland Transport Committee, the United Nations body governing the legal instruments that support our transport systems.

Pimp my driving experience and save my life - Cars and roadside connected
Connecting road users and roadside infrastructure plays a crucial role in making transport safe, convenient and efficient. Toll bridges, emergency response, traffic lights, parking meters and bus stops form part of an
Internet of Things at the road users’ service. This session will highlight examples of connected roadside infrastructure; discussing safety benefits, communication needs and reviewing challenges, such as those associated with achieving interoperability. The session will also showcase how the transport sector is making use of data and will explore opportunities and challenges for car makers, network operators and service providers.

Automated emergency calls - Cars and roadside connected
Automated in-vehicle emergency call systems are seen by many as means to reduce emergency response times and thereby contribute to saving lives. From October 2015, all new models of passenger cars and light duty vehicles EU-wide are to be fitted with eCall – the European solution for automated in-vehicle emergency call systems – and the necessary infrastructure for the proper receipt and handling of automated emergency calls needs to be in place. This session will review the deployment status, requirements and constraints from different perspectives.

There’s an app for that - Nomadic devices and cars
Few inventions changed lives as much as the automobile, the mobile phone and the Internet. The mobile Internet has found its way into vehicles and we are today witnessing the automotive industry adopting ICT innovations, and vice versa. This session will discuss how to achieve a seamless integration of nomadic devices in the car environment, opportunities created by an in-car app ecosystem, and the growing concern of technology-caused driver distraction.
