The International Institute for Information Design

04/09/2008 to 05/09/2008

The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) is organizing an event this year in connection with public transportation entitled "*Infoconnectivity* - Intertwined information for interconnected transport networks".

The idea behind this expert forum: The effectiveness of public transport often depends on how long it takes to change between different modes of transport -- the quicker and the more efficient, the better for passengers, tourists or staff, in short: everyone. Down-time should be reduced to an absolute minimum. However, if this so-called "inter-connectivity" between transport networks is to be enhanced, it is vital to focus on measures of improving information-connectivity (infoconnectivity) between service providers in the area of public transport.

Seeing is Believing

10/11/2008 to 13/11/2008

Seeing is Believing is a new event on the UK road industry’s calendar.  Running daily from 13.00 until 20.00, the event will include an undercover exhibition and an outdoor day and nighttime demonstration of both reflective and directly illuminated highway products.

These range from individual PPE, vehicle conspicuity markings, road markings and road studs, right through to verge and gantry-mounted direction signs. Products will be installed as they would on the highway, beside a metalled (asphalt) road circuit (the MIRA handling and stability circuit shown here in red).

The demonstration will include an illuminated 200m section using street lighting columns, to show the effects that the dimming and switching on/off of street lighting may have on the performance of lit and reflective products.

This event is free to attend and visitors will be able to walk about on the circuit and see the products in-situ for themselves during daylight hours. After dark, visitors will be able to consider the effectiveness of the different products as they are driven around the circuit in a variety of vehicles – including cars, minibuses, coaches and HGVs.

Seeing is Believing will be attractive to a mix of road safety, signing, signals and lighting engineers, contractors, maintenance and incident management crews, as well as emergency services personnel. However, the organizers state that places have to be limited in order to adhere to Health and Safety requirements. As a result, this is a ticket-only event.

RoSPA - 74th Road Safety Congress

23/02/2009 to 25/02/2009

The safety charity’s 74th Road Safety Congress will hear that significant progress has been made in reducing the number of lives lost and injuries suffered, despite massive increases in traffic.
 
But it will also be told that, on average, eight people are still killed and 700 injured on roads in the UK every day, and that there are massive variations in road safety across the world. Globally, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among 15–19-year-olds, while for 10–14-year-olds and 20–24-year-olds they are the second leading cause of death.
 
Speakers are being sought for the conference - called Road Safety: What Have We Learnt? – which will be sponsored by Britax.
