The second in the series of four Project EDWARD webinars focussing on speed management will examine how artificial intelligence, telematics and in-vehicle technologies are reshaping the approach to speed and safety.
The webinar, produced with the support of Redspeed International, takes place via MS Teams on Tuesday 6 May (11am), presented by Simon Turner from Driving for Better Business (DfBB).
Attendees will discover how AI-powered enforcement systems are ‘revolutionising’ traffic monitoring – detecting not just speeding, but a wide range of dangerous behaviours, from mobile phone use to seatbelt violations, all with ‘unprecedented’ accuracy and efficiency.
Tom Duckham from Redspeed International will profile the next generation of enforcement cameras and how they are driving compliance and saving lives.
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), a technology hailed as one of the most effective new tools for casualty reduction, will also be covered.
With insights from Professor Richard Rowe of Sheffield University, attendees will find out how ISA could cut serious crashes by up to 30% – as well as establishing what’s needed to accelerate its adoption in the UK.
Professor Rowe recently led a study, funded by The Road Safety Trust, which led to the creation of an evidence-based leaflet and animation to promote the use of ISA.
Daniel Ward from the Acorn Group will present the latest in black box telematics – how these devices are not only incentivising safer driving and lowering insurance costs, but also providing rich data to inform future road safety strategies.
Each panellist will provide a short presentation, after which Simon Turner will pose questions and points for discussion as guided by the webinar audience.
