INTRODUCTION

The world is facing critical traffic safety challenges. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1.3 million people die on the road annually. Traffic crashes have become the eighth leading cause of death and the top cause of death for the population group age 5 to 29. In 2021, WHO developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 to prevent at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by applying a "safe systems" approach by 2030. China has a fatality rate of 18.2 per 100,000 people, which is two to six times higher than that of developed countries. In 2022, China's State Council Security Committee Office issued the 14th Five-Year National Road Traffic Safety Plan, proposed to incorporate the safe systems approach to effectively improve the capability of modern transportation governance and the traffic safety level; to fundamentally eliminate the hidden dangers in traffic control; and to solve the deep-seated root causes, bottlenecks, and outstanding problems that limit traffic safety. The current goals and main indicators were clarified in the 14th Five-Year National Road Traffic Safety Plan.


Developed countries in Europe and the Americas started earlier in traffic safety study, goal-setting, and strategic planning. In 1997, Sweden was the first to propose Vison Zero to fundamentally eliminate roadway deaths and severe injuries. The Vision Zero proposal has triggered many countries to respond positively. In 2010, the United States incorporated Vision Zero for traffic accidents in its National Road Safety Strategy report. As of November 2020, 45 cities in the United States have adopted Vision Zero and have gradually developed models for establishing safety improvement priorities based on statistical analysis of accidents. Although countries around the world are constantly exploring innovative theories and technologies for road safety governance, the absolute number and percentage of road traffic injuries and fatalities worldwide have remained high. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the number of traffic fatalities in the United States indeed has been on the rise in recent years. The issue of road traffic safety is still a common challenge worldwide.


The theme of the 8th symposium is “Strengthen the foundation, enhance the cooperation, and effectively improve the traffic safety.” The symposium will focus on the development of traffic safety policies, the application of new technologies in traffic safety management, the comparison of international experiences for important safety problems, and the international collaboration in safety research and application.


Tongji University initiated the International Symposium on Transportation Safety in 2010. This year the 8th symposium will be held on July 18 to 19 in Shanghai. The symposium is supported by the “111 Project on Transportation Safety Discipline”.


会议简介

全球道路交通安全形势依然严峻,据世界卫生组织统计,交通事故每年造成全球约130万人死亡,是致人死亡的第八大原因,是5至29岁人群的首要致死原因。2021年,世界卫生组织在“2021-2030道路安全行动十年”提出应用“安全系统”方法减少道路交通伤亡人,十年间将道路交通事故伤亡人数减少至少50%。中国的十万人死亡率值为18.2,是发达国家的2~6倍。2022年我国国务院安委会办公室印发《“十四五”全国道路交通安全规划》,提出切实提高现代交通治理能力和道路交通整体安全水平,努力从根本上消除道路交通安全隐患,解决制约道路交通安全的深层次、根源性、瓶颈性突出问题,明确了“十四五”全国道路交通安全规划目标及主要指标。


欧美发达国家在交通安全目标制定、战略规划的研究起步较早,1997年,瑞典最早提出了零死亡愿景(Vison Zero),其根本目标是消除交通事故伤亡。瑞典之举引发众多国家积极响应,2010年,美国在《零死亡:国家道路安全战略》研究报告中确定了交通事故“零死亡愿景”。截至2020年11月,美国共有45个城市提出了“零死亡愿景”,并已逐渐形成了基于事故统计分析确立安全改善重点问题的模式。尽管各国在不断探索道路交通安全治理创新理论与技术,但全球道路交通伤亡的绝对数字和比例一直处于高值。根据美国国家道路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)的数据,美国交通事故死亡人数近年来呈上升趋势。道路交通安全问题仍然是全球面临的共同挑战。


本届国际交通安全学术研讨会的主题为“夯实基础、开放合作,切实提升道路交通安全水平”。拟邀请世界顶尖道路交通安全专家分享交通系统的“人-车-路-管理”核心安全问题与改善的先进经验。研讨会将探索道路交通安全治理政策的制定;大数据、人工智能为主的新一代信息化技术在道路交通安全管理方面的应用;针对共性道路交通安全问题,开展国际安全改善经验对比与借鉴,思考国际协作、多部门协同共治机制。


以诚为本赢在信誉9001cc于2010年起定期召开国际交通安全学术研讨会,旨在借鉴发达国 家先进经验,快速提升我国交通安全研究与应用的水平,至今已举办七届。本届研讨会将于2023年7月18-19日在以诚为本赢在信誉9001cc举行。会议由交通安全学科创新引智基地资助(“111计划”,由教育部和国家外专局联合资助)。
