THE SAFETY OF NEW TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSPORT
31 March to 4 April 2003
Venue: University of Leeds
Course Speakers:
Oliver Carsten, Natasha Merat (Institute for Transport Studies,
University of Leeds)
Peter Jesty (Institute for Transport Studies and Peter Jesty Consulting
Limited)
COURSE OUTLINE
This unique course focuses on the safety issues and problems that
arise with the application of new technologies in transport. The
additional facilities made possible by the use of computers and
communications (telematics) in road transport systems also create
additional safety issues. The regulations now require that all such
systems, both those that control traffic and those that control vehicles,
be analysed in advance so that the necessary safety requirements can
be included in the specification for the design. There are three principal
aspects to the safety of intelligent transport systems, namely system
safety, human machine interaction (HMI) and traffic safety, and this
five-day course will cover all three with equal weight, and the links
between them.
The course tutors have a combined experience in this area of nearly
30 years. They have also been partners in many of the UK and EC
projects that have produced the various Guidelines and Codes of
Practice which will be mentioned in the course.
