CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

n 2014, the International Road Federation confirmed its role as a leading provider of applied knowledge in areas of vital importance for the global community of road professionals.

This role was embodied in the IRF’s expanding program of webinars, certified training, regional congresses and the launch of the IRF Examiner, a complimentary periodical featuring peer-reviewed technical papers by leading industry professionals.

IRF Regional Congresses act as a valuable meeting point where regional and international transportation experts contribute to, and further their understanding of, a range of industry areas, from asset management strategies to durable pavements and environmental stewardship, all designed to ensure that the value of roads to society is maximized. In each of the four Congresses held in 2014, the IRF’s goal has been to help policy-makers, planners and infrastructure operators translate their challenges into concrete policy and planning decisions. In keeping with the IRF’s commitment to the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, we have also placed safer roads at the heart of our programs and advocacy work. The launch of a new sub-committee covering enforcement applications will further strengthen our ability to provide evidence-based recommendations across a range of road safety interventions. Perhaps the best illustration of the appeal of our programs and the relevance of our messages has been the unprecedented growth in IRF membership and partnership agreements with a wide range of multilateral institutions and industry partners, offering a solid foundation for our programs in 2015. Lastly, let me highlight an important milestone for our Fellowship Program with 1,350 Fellows in the program’s 65-year existence. By enhancing the education of the next generation of transportation leaders, the IRF Fellowship Program provides an invaluable service to our industry as whole. In turn, I encourage road organizations everywhere to consider financial support and other ways to preserve and build on this legacy in 2015.

Eng. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel IRF Chairman

“IRF meetings have been incredibly useful…as a bridging organization, IRF is able to play a crucial role in getting all parties to work together.” – Philip Wijers, GATSO // Joined in 2014

“IRF events have really been great for us. It’s allowed us to meet people we have talked to over the phone or over the internet but there’s nothing like being with a person and talking with them. IRF events allow you to have face time.” – Dave Huddleston, Forta Corporation // Joined in 2014

“IRF events are where you meet your clients. You meet the people knowing your values who can attend a good mixture of presentations. IRF events might not always be the biggest, but you always meet the right people. This is an important fact. I have been to all different expos, fairs, conferences and congresses, and it is much easier to build your network with a concentration of right people, rather than in a large hall with alot of people who cannot make decisions.” – Lars Forlof, Roadroid // Joined in 2014

Indonesia Hosts the Region’s Landmark Transportation Meeting

ore than 700 industry professionals representing 52 countries took part in the opening on November 17 of the 1st International Road Federation Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition, a regional summit for road and transportation stakeholders held in Bali, Indonesia.

“Our host country, Indonesia, is itself a remarkable example of this drive towards greater connectivity, with investments worth US $104 billion in transport infrastructure investments over the next five years,” Mr. Sankey added.

“Roads are Asia’s first social network. They are fundamental building blocks for human and economic development whose impacts transcend national borders,” noted IRF President & CEO C. Patrick Sankey in his opening address.

“The IRF is committed to supporting this process through its knowledge resources and convening power to lead on these important challenges here in Asia,” Mr. Sankey concluded.

Waskito Pandu, director general of the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works & Housing stated, “During The IRF Asia Regional Congress wass articulated this congress, we will share our knowledge and around policy roundtables and technical sessions experiences to draw a better vision on road technology developed in partnership with a network of 23 development.

or the second in a series of ITS courses specially tailored for the needs of fasttransitioning economies, the IRF assembled a multi-national cast of renowned instructors who delivered five modules focusing on major mobility applications. Held October 19–22, 2014, the course was attended by over 170 transportation and engineering professionals from a wide array of public agencies, including the municipalities of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, the Ministries Transport and Interior and Riyadh Traffic Police, among others. On the private sector side, the most important contractors and consulting firms were represented at the course. Like other agencies present, the Municipality of Riyadh has undertaken a number of infrastructure, congestion mitigation and road safety projects designed to enhance the quality of life of residents. Many of these projects have significant intelligent transport systems (ITS) components that improve the benefits obtained from a given investment. However, they also raise questions about planning, procuring

and embedding ITS applications within large-scale multimodal transportation projects. Applications discussed also extended to public transport, with a real life case study of the ongoing Riyadh Metro project. The advent of metro systems in Riyadh and other cities in Saudi Arabia is a real game-changer which, combined with highway and urban-level investments, has the potential to propel the region as a world leader in providing integrated mobility using ITS technologies within the next five years. In his introductory address, IRF chairman and Riyadh mayor, Eng. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel noted, “ITS is a vast and multi-disciplinary subject – I think of it as a collection of technology applications for various different problems, whether traffic congestion, freight costs, public transport access, safety for drivers and pedestrians, and many more. What this means is that ITS affects the entire range of transportation modes and options, at all levels.”

CERTIFIED TRAINING: SAFER ROADS BY DESIGN™ Safer Roads by Design™: Knowing What You Need to Know

he IRF held its acclaimed road safety training program for highway engineers and road safety managers November 30 – December 9 in Orlando, Florida USA.

The Safer Roads By Design™: Across Six Continents Seminar is one of the most comprehensive road safety training programs in the world. Experts from a variety of countries presented best practices and state of the art technologies in roadside safety, work zone safety, vulnerable user safety, traffic management and road safety audits over a ten day period. Attendees of the seminar were exposed to all aspects of roadside safety, learned how to design a safe work zone, gained understanding of issues facing pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, and learned all the steps involved in organizing an effective road safety audit. “It is difficult to believe that anyone would intentionally design an unsafe new road and it is even more difficult to believe someone is willing to pay for an unsafe new road. In fact, it is impossible to justify a conscious decision to build an unsafe road, yet it is happening time and time again around the world,” according to Mike Dreznes, executive vice president of the International Road Federation. “We believe these new unsafe roads are being designed and built because national standards are out of date and/or road authorities and design engineering consulting firms are unaware of today’s safety best practices and state of the art safety technologies. In response, the IRF has created a complete and comprehensive world-class safetytraining program designed to leave a lasting impression on attendees.

CERTIFIED TRAINING: PERFORMANCE-BASED CONTRACTS IRF Supports International Capacity Building

or 10 days in October, more than 40 highway engineering professionals from 14 different countries congregated in Orlando, Florida, USA. With lecturers from The Netherlands, Finland, New Zealand, Canada and the United States the group discussed the specifics about how to effectively write, implement and enforce Performance Based Contracts.

In addition World Bank officials stressed the need for both owners and contractors to have the needed technical know-how for PBC contracts to be successful. Building local capacity is essential in this regard.
