THE SAFETY OF NEW TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSPORT
15-19 April 2002
Venue: University of Leeds
Course Speakers:
Oliver Carsten, Samantha Jamson, Lily Read (Institute for Transport Studies,
University of Leeds)
Peter Jesty (Institute for Transport Studies and Peter Jesty Consulting Limited)
Visiting Speaker:
David Jeffery, WS Atkins Transport Systems
COURSE OUTLINE
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, must 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.
