CCAT Stakeholder event: Transport technologies for safer roads
The Centre for Connected and Automated Transport (CCAT) invites you to attend this stakeholder event focused on the potential of connected and automated transport to address the ongoing challenge of road safety. Road safety remains a critical national priority, and the recent National Future Transport Summit highlighted the opportunity to prioritise advanced road technologies to accelerate progress toward eliminating deaths and serious injuries across transport networks, workplaces and strategic industries.
Attendees will hear from government and industry experts who will share their perspectives on transport technologies, road safety strategies, current initiatives and future areas of focus. Discussions will focus on how existing and emerging connected and automated transport technologies can strengthen road safety outcomes, improve the use of data in policy and infrastructure decisions, enhance understanding of crash and near-miss causation and support a coordinated national approach to innovation, testing and deployment. A central focus of the discussion will be how different communities in WA experience and perceive transport technologies, and the factors that shape confidence, concern and expectations.
Building social trust is critical to the successful transition to connected and automated transport in Australia. The event will explore how governments and industry can meaningfully engage communities to build trust, understanding and acceptance of technologies. Attendees will have the opportunity to network and engage with transport, infrastructure, technology and community leaders across government and industry.
Event speakers
Attendees will hear from some of Western Australia's leading voices in transport and road safety, including Road Safety Commissioner, Adrian Warner, Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure Director General, Peter Woronzow, RAC WA Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Robert Slocombe and Western Australian Centre for Road Safety Research (University of Western Australia) Director, Professor Teresa Senserrick PhD AFHEA. Facilitated by Rahila David, Executive Director of the Centre for Connected and Automated Transport (CCAT), the discussion will explore the role of emerging technologies, data, policy and community trust in improving road safety outcomes across Western Australia and Australia.
