International ESRA Conference April 21, 2022, ONLINE, 10:00 - 16:30 CET
The International ESRA Conference on Traffic Safety Culture and Performance Indicators took place on April 21, 2022 (online event).
Core organizers of the event were Université Gustave Eiffel (France) and Vias institute (Belgium). Researchers and policy makers from more than 50 countries across the world participated in this event. Representatives of the European Commission, the WHO and several national governments expressed their congratulations to the achievements of the ESRA initiative.
The conference showcased the richness of the ESRA data and how it is used in practice for monitoring and improving road safety. Additional topics covered in the conference were the measurement of traffic safety culture and how road safety performance indicators can be defined, collected and used.
The conference was an opportunity to learn from in-depth scientific analyses of the ESRA databases, in relation to different types of road users and different aspects of attitudes, behaviour and culture. Examples of the use of ESRA data by policy makers in different ESRA partner countries were presented. The event was also an opportunity to learn about the next ESRA3 survey, which is scheduled to take place between February and March 2023.
