Will zero fatalities ever be achievable?
This session will provide a future view, from one of the most influential people in the development of future transport systems, Iain Forbes. We will hear about the developments being worked on in universities and commercial research organisations developing new technologies and processes that will change the way we operate.
For many of these safety is the prime driver, with several local authorities seeking to create environments where no-one ever dies as a result of a road traffic collision.
But how practical is this aspiration? How much can technology realistically protect people from their own actions? Or will the ultimate outcome be vehicle-free cities?
