RSSThe 18th edition of the IRF World Road Meeting (WRM) will take place from 14 – 17 November, 2017 in Delhi, India. The WRM has been organised by 1201 IRF Geneva once every four years for the last 60 years. The WRM is a prestigious event and is expected to attract over 4,000 international and national participants.
The theme for WRM – 2017 is “SAFE ROADS and SMART Mobility: The Engines of Economic Growth.” Road transport and mobility are the lifeline of a modern economy and contribute significantly to economic growth and our well being. They are not just about moving people and goods, but are an essential part of the continued economic growth and social development of countries.
Faced with an increasing number of road accidents and fatalities, congestion, and climate change, countries, regardless of their level of technological sophistication and income level, are faced with severe challenges in meeting the road transport and mobility needs of their populations. These challenges include expanding, developing, maintaining, and operating the transport infrastructure as efficiently and safely as possible, along with minimising the adverse environmental and other impacts of the sector.
Meeting these challenges requires action on many fronts. This conference is aimed at identifying and discussing the range of challenges that are faced in delivering safe, sustainable, and smart road transport and mobility at an affordable price, the legal, policy, and regulatory issues, instruments that are available to policy and decision-makers, new concepts and technologies for delivering transport and mobility, and the possibilities offered by “big data” and technology to reshape the road transport and mobility system to face future challenges.
We invite authors to submit abstracts on one or more of the themes listed here:
THEME 1: SAFE ROADS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
THEME 2: SAFE MOBILITY
THEME 3: MOBILITY CHALLENGES
THEME 4: MANAGING ROAD ASSETS
THEME 5: INNOVATIVE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
THEME 6: INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK & CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
THEME 7: SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
