International Road Federation A good road is a safe road Following the global recognition of this true world "epidemic" caused by road accidents and the creation, in 2004, of the UN Road Safety Collaboration, governments have responded by conducting road safety campaigns targeted mainly at improving user behaviour. Progress in vehicle safety has contributed significantly to reducing road deaths and injuries and will continue to do so as requirements become more stringent. But in order to be effective, any comprehensive road safety programme needs to include an infrastructure component. The importance of road safety is underlined by the undeniable fact that road transport will continue to be the dominant mode of transport within an integrated transport system (i.e. intermodal transport of goods) in the years to come and therefore its safety must be significantly improved. In this session industry leaders will present some of the techniques they use in the road infrastructure sector aimed at effectively reducing the number of road fatalities, thus making our roads safer. (Moderator: Ms. Maria Novikov, Road Safety Project Manager, IRF. Speakers: Rik R. Nuyttens, 3M Europe Traffic Safety Systems Jean Lalo, SOMARO) International Road Federation The Green Path to Climate Neutral Roads: The IRF Greenhouse Gas Calculator for the Road Sector This special session will present a comprehensive overview of the methodology IRF has designed for the calculation and modelling of emissions estimates in carbon equivalency of road infrastructure construction and maintenance projects. The IRF Greenhouse Gas Calculator provides an accurate, consistent and accessible inventory system for companies’ internal management and external reporting. (Moderator: Suzanna Zammataro, International Road Federation) International Road Federation Public/private partnerships: the industry’s perspective The debate about Public/private partnerships (PPP) has a tendency of being dominated by theoretical arguments and unrealistic expectations. In this session the International Road Federation provides you with the down-to-earth industry’s perspective on long term, performance based contracts like PPPs. The speakers, both from construction companies and financial institutions, will demonstrate the advantages of this type of contracts for the contractor. A PPP contract, when set up properly, stimulates the contractor to optimize his work and activities, to innovate and to better perform. Ultimately this leads to better service to the road user. (Moderator: Caroline Visser, International Road Federation) Siemens AG The Strategy Management tool as a base for efficient Integrated Traffic Management The big challenge we are facing in our overcrowded and steadily growing metropolitan areas can be efficiently tackled on a integrated basis where different aspects are taken contemporarily into account: environmental impacts, public/individual transport media, urban traffic control and urban highway traffic control etc. One of the key elements of an integrated traffic management system is the so-called strategy management module. This module joints the different measured and/or estimated data with connected control strategies. The presentation will give an overview on how strategy management can work efficiently and will also give some information on already implemented case for different application in different countries. European Parking Association Technology pull from the parking operator's perspective Many technical developments are on the market to support effectiveness of the parking industry. However: solutions consist of reliable technical platforms and organisation & support and customer acceptance & trust. Next to this balance parking is part of the urban mobility chain and has to contribute to sustainable liveability in the cities. Parking operators (private and public authorities) are acting as intermediate between the solution suppliers, the parking visitors (customers), other stakeholders (i.e. retailers) and public regulation agencies. It’s the parking operator’s competitive edge to pick the right solutions in the jungle of technological developments, legislation, environmental issues and competition. KpVV Verkeerscentrales voor regionaal verkeersmanagement – Keuzes van vandaag in het licht van morgen Veel regio’s - waarin gebiedsgericht benutten studies zijn uitgevoerd - staan klaar om regelscenario’s in de praktijk te brengen. Verkeerscentrales zullen daarin een cruciale rol gaan spelen, maar zijn daarop nog niet toegerust. De opgave is dat verkeerscentrales op de kortst mogelijke termijn worden ingericht op het draaien van regelscenario’s onder verantwoordelijkheid van verschillende wegbeheerders. Bij deze inrichting spelen vragen als hoe gaan we om met de ontwikkeling van In-car systemen (hoe ga je desinvesteringen tegen) en hoe zorgen we voor landelijke uniformiteit in de verschillende verkeerscentrales. Deze laatste vraag speelt vooral bij Rijkswaterstaat. Om verkeerscentrales op regelscenario’s toe te kunnen rusten moeten we vandaag keuzes maken over de inrichting daarvan. Hoe denken de verschillende wegbeheerders hierover? Wat is de reflectie van de verkeersindustrie daarop? Kunnen we daarin gezamenlijk in optrekken? Speakers: B. van Luipen, L. Eggink, Ms L. Berghout, Ms N. Nazmi, E. Zweers, W. Van Leusden, F. Ottenhof, P. Van Koningsbruggen & M. Westerman. ASTRIN Workshop: Gunnen op waarde Vandaag de dag wensen opdrachtgevers steeds meer gebruik te maken van de expertise van de markt. In plaats van technische specificaties en gunnen op laagste prijs, worden functionele eisen gesteld en gegund op de waarde die opdrachtnemers weten te creëren voor hun klant. Dit seminar gaat in op het inkoopbeleid van Rijkswaterstaat en reikt een systematiek aan voor het gunnen op waarde. (Dutch spoken) ITS COLOMBIA ITS development in the Andean region Technology applications in highway operation and traffic management have been isolated in the past, often with results far from optimum under the operational point of view.During the last years a series of successful ITS initiatives have been planned and implemented showing its advantages in traffic operation efficiency as well as traffic safety. But this should only be the beginning. ITC Colombia is promoting public private partnership as well as the cooperation with the regional academic institutions towards more massive implementation of ITS and the creation of base parameters towards ITS integration based on US as well as European standards. ITS&S Czech Republic Association Czech Tolling Experiences The workshop Czech Tolling Experience starts with a brief introduction of the activities of ITS&S Czech Republic followed by the implementation of electronic tolling in the Czech Republic.

Province of Utrecht Tenderlancering: in-car informatie als versterking van verkeersmanagement (Dutch spoken) Onder de naam VERDER hebben wegbeheerders in Midden-Nederland hun activiteiten gebundeld bij de ontwikkeling van regionaal geïntegreerd verkeersmanagement. Doel van de samenwerking is o.a. het realiseren van een gezamenlijk beheerde regionale verkeerscentrale van waaruit het verkeer geregeld wordt. In het licht van recente marktontwikkelingen op het gebied van in-car technologie voor het verzamelen en verspreiden van verkeersinformatie, wil VERDER dit aspect van verkeersmanagement samen met de markt opzetten en uitvoeren. Een eerste stap in de samenwerking tussen overheid en markt bij de toepassing van in-car technologie, is de uitvoering van een pilot. Achtergrond van de pilot is de verkeerssituatie bij de reconstructies van asfaltinfrastructuur ten westen van Utrecht tussen 2009 en 2012. Op Intertraffic nodigt VERDER de markt uit voor verkennende gesprekken om vervolgens in de tweede helft van 2008 met één of meerdere partijen contractafspraken te maken (aanbesteding of PPS constructie) voor de uitvoering van de pilot. De presentatie zal naast informatie over de pilot, praktische informatie over organisatorische aspecten rond de samenwerking met geïnteresseerde marktpartijen geven. | | |
