The RS5C conference aims to be a leading source of research results, information and interaction in the road transport area with a focus on safety and health associated with road transport. This aim is accomplished by cooperation with local as well as global organisations to ensure that RS5C meets local needs with global state of the art. Moreover, the RS5C conference will produce papers of high scientific quality that are open and accessible for everyone.

By providing a mutual ground for sharing knowledge and a forum to discuss mutual problems and their solutions, researchers as well as officials and other stakeholders can learn from results, experiences and success stories.
