About this event
To mark National Road Safety Week 2024, the AITPM SA Branch and ACRS SA Chapter jointly presented the Road Safety Half Day Seminar. With a program featuring speakers from the Centre of Automotive Safety Research (CASR), Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), the Royal Automobile Association (RAA) and Safe System Solutions (with more to be added), the Road Safety Half Day Seminar covered all things road safety including the work, development and innovations within the industry which benefit our communities.
Providing the premier platform for the industry to work together in improving road safety, this technical event will be of particular interest for professionals working in local government, state road agencies, private consulting, and academia. In addition to providing an opportunity for technical development, the event provided opportunities for networking to support better working relationships so we can all contribute to road safety together!
The seminar was in a half day format with an early morning session, a networking morning tea, a late morning session and concluding with a networking lunch (all included in the registration fee).
