Lunchseminarie: Sonja Forward “Safe road users in the African context”

Välkommen på lunchseminarium i Lund eller digitalt. Vi bjuder in till inspirerande föreläsningar och diskussioner kring aktuella doktorsavhandlingar, teori och praktiska exempel inom mobilitet, aktörer och planering/policy.

Denna gång har vi nöjet att presentera Mobilitet, aktörer och planeringsenhetens egna Sonja Forward. Hon kommer att hålla ett föredrag om projektet AfroSAFE:

The primary objective of the AfroSAFE project is to make a significant progress in propagation of the Safe System modus operandi within the road safety work context in African countries.

This is reached by exposing the local practitioners and decision makers to the state-of-the-art knowledge and practices within road safety management based on Safe System principles, as well as supporting them by sharing necessary knowledge, tools and methods for road safety improvement—adjusted to the African conditions and in tight cooperation with the local actors.

More specifically, this is reached through mapping of the existing regulations, procedures, methods and tools within all five pillars of road safety (management, safe infrastructure, safe vehicles, safe road users and post-crash care), development of the recommendations for improvements and running a series of pilots and demonstrations to illustrate these recommendations in action.

In these activities, the problems and needs of the vulnerable road users will receive particular attention. Another focus area for the AfroSAFE project is capacity building through education of the local educators in all areas relevant for road safety. Together with them, the current curriculums are revised, new educational programmes created, and an educational platform —a virtual centre of excellence—will be created.

In this presentation Sonja will focus on one of the pillars, namely safe road users.
