CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD panied by a continuous flow of new ideas and knowledge, leading to safer, cleaner, more resilient, and better connected transportation systems.

As a leading industry organization, we understand the importance of setting a long term agenda for education, advocacy and knowledge.

“A Long Term Agenda for Education, Advocacy and Knowledge”

With rapidly changing societal aspirations, our industry will only be successful in its efforts to build tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure and mobility services by embracing the positive values of leadership and innovation.

Since we were established in 1948, the International Road Federation’s work has been anchored in a proud tradition of engineering excellence supported by a forward-looking vision of roads at the service of society.

Of course, innovation cannot happen in isolation and without investing in human talent.

We aren’t just building tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure; we are also preparing tomorrow’s transportation leaders.

People and goods need to move for an economy to grow, for wealth to be created, for prosperity to be shared. Much as a dynamic economy depends on the movement of goods and services, people rely on roads to access employment, education and health services. Or, as we like to put it “Better Roads.

Better World”.

One of the ways the IRF develops future talent is through educational scholarships.

Our Fellowship Program is what many have called IRF’s Crown Jewel. The core vision of the program is to take students from developing countries and give them an opportunity to earn a degree at a highly regarded university, and hence, by educating the next generation of road leaders, building capacity where it is most needed.

However, the intuition of my predecessors was that road investments had to be accom-

International Road Federation

By promoting these innovations and the successes in our industry, the IRF can provide a forward-looking road map for others to follow.

Since 1949, we have helped to fund the education of 1,450 transportation professionals from 119 countries. Many IRF Fellows have shared with us their personal stories and the life-changing impact the Fellowship program has had for them. Please take a moment to listen to their stories and ask yourself how you, or your organization, can get involved in this important program.

In building these leadership skills and overcoming the sector’s increasingly complex mobility challenges, new partnership models need to be identified. By bringing together the private sector, academia and public agencies under the same roof, the IRF remains the organization where industry partnerships can be built.

The IRF Global R2T Conference & Expo is articulated around policy roundtables, scientific sessions, and the presentation of signature initiatives all aimed at setting an ambitious strategic agenda for 21st century road mobility.

Highlighted issues addressed during the Conference include connected & autonomous mobility, innovations in road funding & procurement, leveraging big data in support of preventive road diagnosis & treatment, and environmental stewardship through new pavement design processes.

Save the Date: 2nd IRF Global R2T Conference November 19-22, 2019 Las Vegas, USA

Former Director of the ITS Joint Program Office Shelley Row noted in her opening address “Disruptive technology and a data avalanche are creating an upheaval in transportation. Some of these disruptions have started; others will arrive within ten years. In the meantime, many capital investments for transportation infrastructure last 50 years or more.

Transportation planning and businesses cannot continue business-asusual when business is anything but usual”.

“We have dubbed this event Roads to Tomorrow, or R2T for short, because, as an industry, we understand the importance of setting a long term agenda for our research activities and capital investments” according to

IRF President & CEO C. Patrick Sankey. “With rapidly changing societal aspirations, we will only be successful in our efforts to build tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure and mobility services by embracing the positive values of leadership and innovation.”

“In overcoming the sector’s increasingly complex mobility challenges, new partnership models need to be identified. By bringing together the private sector, academia and public agencies under the same roof, IRF remains the organization where these industry partnerships can be built” concluded IRF Vice Chairman Dr. Bill Sowell.

CONFERENCES International Road Safety & Innovation Forum: Leveraging Innovation for Safer Streets: Landmark EU Presidency Event Held in Sofia IRF members and partner organizations shared ideas, solutions and innovative approaches enabled by the exponential growth in analytical tools and technological enablers on the occasion of a landmark Road Safety & Innovation Forum held in Sofia, Bulgaria on March 27, 2018. The international knowledgesharing event was attended by more than 350 participants.

Opening the event, Dr. William Sowell, Chairman of the IRF Committee on ITS noted “We have seen other countries, take steps to prioritize road safety measures in the face of similar statistics, and who now figure among the world’s leading road safety performers. These countries embrace the Safe Systems approach, they actively seek to learn from one another’s successes and failures, and they understand the value of leveraging innovation and technology for maximum results”.

European countries are at an important milestone in the achievement of their road traffic injury reduction targets. Since 2015, the gap between the best and worst-performing EU member states has continued to widen, suggesting that cost-effective measures, enabled

by actionable data and technological progress, need to be investigated.

Bulgaria itself stands at an important crossroads with the announced introduction of a national road tolling scheme whose proceeds will be re-invested back into the road system notably through road safety measures, according to H.E. Nikolay Nankov, Minister of Regional Development and Public Works who keynoted the event.

Solutions presented during the Forum included GIS data collection tools that connect road asset surveys with safety investment decisions, road markings optimized for ADAS-enabled vehicles and recent innovations in passive safety measures designed to protect vulnerable road users.

European Road Conference, Dubrovnik, Croatia: Conference Celebrates Corridors for Shared Prosperity The city Dubrovnik in Croatia hosted a highly successful gathering of 500 transport stakeholders on October 22-24 to deepen the understanding of regional mobility challenges and achieve consensus on key policy, investment, and planning measures.

Held at the invitation of key representative organizations, the Conference was formally opened by H.E Oleg Butković, Minister of the Sea, Transport & Infrastructure, Republic of Croatia in the presence of ministers of transport and senior road agency executives from Montenegro, BosniaHerzegovina, Albania, Bulgaria and Serbia.

“Croatia is an important gateway to Europe” noted Mr. Josip Skoric, CEO of Hrvatske Ceste and President of Via Vita. “We connect two shores of the Adriatic Sea and represent the deepest cut of the Mediterranean into the European continent.

Croatia was therefore ideally located to host discussions between the region’s experts of the road and traffic sector”.

“Significant challenges remain to improve the safety, efficiency, ecological sustainability of our road network” according to Tomislav Josip Mlinarić, Dean of the Faculty of Transport & Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb. “And these are exactly the topics which our Faculty has successfully investigated through our world-class research facilities”.

Against a backdrop of significant connectivity investments across South East Europe, the Conference featured 20 cross-sector panels on topics ranging from resilient infrastructure design to effective road traffic safety policies all designed to ensure the value of roads to society is maximized.

“With 2 years remaining under the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, the devastating social and economic impacts of this epidemic can no longer be ignored” Rik Nuyttens, President of the European Union Road Federation (ERF) underscored. “It truly is time for results. The region has an important opportunity and responsibility to examine ways to prevent what has become a global public health crisis”.

“The European Road Conference achieved another of its key objectives to look at how innovation is being leveraged to deliver smart, energy-efficient and resilient highways.” noted IRF Chairman Eng. Abdullah Al-Mogbel. “Conferences such as this one will help us deploy a new generation of roads that assist the transition to autonomous mobility and environmental sustainability”.

CONFERENCES 7th IRF Caribbean Regional Congress, Montego Bay, Jamaica: Caribbean Leaders Chart Course Towards Safe & Resilient Roads Now in its seventh edition, IRF’s flagship event in the Caribbean confirmed its status as an essential gathering point for the region’s top transportation decision-makers and professionals, combining regional case studies and international insights. Close to 150 delegates from 10 countries, including senior policy makers from Jamaica, Belize, Guyana, Cayman, attended the 4-day event.

A focal topic for the 2018 Congress was the development of safer and more resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding increasingly challenging weather patterns.

Opening the event, CDEMA Executive Director Ronald Jackson said, “We are witnessing a steady increase in vulnerability and exposure over the last decade in all the Caribbean Territories which have the potential to impact adversely on road infrastructure, both directly and indirectly. Damage to road infrastructure has secondary effects, cutting off access of affected persons to emergency relief and essential services for extended periods.”

IRF Executive Committee Member Dr. William Sowell noted, “Adequate preparation for a man-made or natural disaster should be an ongoing process. Whether it is back-up power sources for signalized intersections, real-time video surveillance for optimal roadway network command and control, or being able to implement contra-flow traffic patterns to exfill the population from dangerous conditions, prior planning and execution of the disaster plan is essential for saving saves and property.”

Road safety continues to remain another key preoccupation for the region’s top transportation policymakers.

Transport & Mining Minister H.E. Robert Montague recommitted his country to a long term agenda of safer roads. Jamaica, he noted already uses the “HumanEnvironment-Vehicle Model” in designing its road safety policies.

With the advent of black boxes, he expresses his hope that crash investigators would complete their understanding of road traffic crash patterns. “Jamaica will be in the very near future providing the globe with highly trained and skilled Traffic Accident Investigators, Analysts and Reconstructionist”, Minister Montague pledged, praising a recent initiative led by the Ministry to develop traffic crash investigation skills through training workshops.

The event concluded with the official launch of the IRF Caribbean Affairs Committee, open to IRF members, whose goals are to strengthen regional collaboration, foster IRF Training and presence in the Caribbean, find and support IRF Fellowship Candidates and interact and work with other international entities wherever appropriate.

IRF / SARF Regional Congress, Durban, South Africa: Africa’s Roads Given a Boost with Regional Conference Africa poses unique challenges for the provision and preservation of roads and road transport. To address some of these challenges, the South African Road Federation (SARF) in association with the International Road Federation (IRF Global) and the World Roads Association (PIARC), hosted the Regional Conference for Africa “Roads to Social and Economic Growth” in Durban from 9 to 11 October 2018.

The conference gathered 73 high-level speakers and hundreds of delegates at the Durban Convention Center, The adjoining exhibition saw 24 Organisations and companies share their road related goods and services with the conference delegates. This became the meeting place for everyone who attended the conference and high-level networking took place here before, during and even after the day’ s activities.

The three parallel technical streams were chaired by 15 young, dynamic session chairs. A Young Professionals session was held on 10 October and was very well supported by the conference delegates. The Conference also included a workshop “Work Zones Can and Must be Safer in South Afric” on 11 October that was presented by the Executive Vice President on the International Road Federation Mike Dreznes who shared his many years of experience.

Dreznes noted “Africa must stop “doing things the way they have

always done them if they want to meet the Decade of Action’s Challenge to reduce fatalities by 2020”.

Dreznes also presented two International Road Safety Audit Team Leader awards to Iris Wink (pictured) and Riaan Steenkamp, as well as the 2019 IRF “Find-AWay” Global Road Safety Award to His Excellency Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor, Lagos State, Nigeria.

Patrick Bekoe, Regional Manager for IRF Global, made a presentation to introduce Output and Performance Based Contracts on Africa’s road networks.

“This conference has become the flagship event for road infrastructure in Southern Africa and in 2018 it was further enhanced by the participation of the IRF and PIARC,” said Saied Solomon, SARF president and chairman of the conference organizing committee.

2018 TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS IRF Workshops at Intertraffic Amsterdam Draw More Than 300 Participants From leveraging roadway analytics to understanding the safety benefits of conspicuous roads, IRF member organizations shared their know-how and solutions with Intertraffic Amsterdam visitors.

Workshop 1: Unleashing Roadway Analytics Presented by the IRF Committee on ITS Roadway analytics are powerful new tools that enable road operator and city managers to carry out on-demand traffic analysis to identify congestion bottlenecks and visualize the results of infrastructure improvement projects. Join this workshop to understand how “big data” can help you extract actionable insights from a range of data sets, whether you want to understand historic traffic trends or benchmark roadway performance in support of targeted investment strategies.

Workshop 2: Smart City Mobility: from Vision to Applications Presented by the IRF Committee on ITS By 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas. The significant task road authorities face in tackling the problem of increasing congestion cannot be underestimated. This session will present the current state of the art in establishing mobility plans and the associated ITS deployment scenarios based on emerging smart city paradigms.

The session will review advances in intelligent transportation systems with specific focus on integrated mobility solutions. Case-studies and 22

International Road Federation

examples of implementations in urban environments will be presented.

Workshop 3: Diagnosing Road User Risk with Safety Audits Presented by the IRF Committee on Road Safety Road safety audits are effective and efficient tools to help road authorities reduce the number of accidents and casualties, because design standards alone cannot guarantee road safety in all conditions. IRF strongly supports the extended and expanded use of road safety audits and inspections at all stages of road design and operations. Drawing from international experience, this workshop will place particular emphasis on successful practices that have contributed to reducing injury risk for all road users.

Workshop 4: Safety Benefits of Conspicuous Roads Presented by the IRF Committee on Road Safety A disproportionate share of serious and fatal road traffic crashes happen at night or in low-visibility conditions. The problem is increasingly compounded with an ageing motoring population and under-investments in the maintenance of roadside safety assets.

IRF Delivers International Workshop on Speed Enforcement The International Road Federation joined forced with the European Commission and the World Bank to deliver a one-day workshop, titled “Safety Camera Use for Speed Enforcement,” on October 16, 2018 as part of the Eastern Partnership Road Safety Project.

Attended by Senior Ministry of Interior from Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Moldova, the course built on successful practices and technologies established in the UK, the Netherlands and France thanks to the input of IRF Members Road Safety Support and SensysGatso Group.

“With excessive or inappropriate speed contributing to 1 in 3 road traffic fatalities worldwide, measures to address speed remains one of the most effective pathways for countries and cities to reach their traffic injury reduction goals. Without a strong, sustained public commitment to robust enforcement of speeds on the network by government, speed management programs are unlikely to be effective,” noted Brendan Halleman, IRF Vice President for Europe & Central Asia, in opening the event.

50 engineers from various Ghanaian agencies took part in a two-day training program on designing climate-resilient road networks.

The IRF workshop “Building Climate Resilient Rural Road & Highways” held in Ghana on April 25-26 addressed the topic in a holistic using used real world case studies to illustrate the importance of pavement design decisions in achieving longer-lasting networks and lowering maintenance costs.

In opening the event, Dr. Patrick Bekoe, IRF’s regional manager for West and Southern Africa, observed that climate change had put at risk the lives of millions of people worldwide including many coastal cities, and trillions of dollars of investment in transport infrastructure and services.

He further noted that a transport system that could not withstand the emerging impacts of climate change would prove burdensome, impose high costs of repairs, and cause significant economic losses.

BUILDING GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS Research & Demonstration Partnership with Dubai RTA IRF and the Dubai Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) have agreed to enter into a collaborative research & demonstration partnership in view of establishing an IRF Applied Research Center for Traffic & Road Solutions in Dubai.

Under this partnership, IRF and RTA will jointly apply their vision, international leadership, and convening power to deliver a strategic roadmap, build stakeholder consensus, and develop new knowledge, leading to the deployment of costeffective technologies which together will sustain the long term mobility agenda of world-class cities such as Dubai.

Two operational programs, respectively the “IRF Program on Connected City Streets” and the “IRF Program on Energy Efficiency & Environmental Sustainability in Pavement Design” are being explored under this partnership.

26

International Road Federation

In order to refine the strategic orientations for each operational program, and to identify promising mobility concepts that can be demonstrated and assessed through targeted field trials, select industry stakeholders were convened to an industry strategy & consultation meeting on October 1-2.

The meeting was designed to allow a limited number of guest specialists to share experience, insights and applied innovations focusing on Connected Road Infrastructure and Sustainable Roads & Pavement Design. The resulting insights will help establish the foundation for the IRF Center’s activities for the first phase of the research & demonstration program in 2019-2021.

IRF Members Adopt Safety Guidelines in Road Work Zones IRF has drawn urgent attention to the need for coordinated efforts to foster a safety culture on road construction sites, currently responsible for hundreds of thousands of injuries and thousands of deaths worldwide.

Work zones present an increased risk for workers who build, repair, and maintain roads, bridges, and tunnels, as well as for a variety of road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, who are confronted with less than ideal safety conditions in these work zones. Global statistics on work zone-related injuries are not available, however the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reported 25,485 of work zone crashes involving at least one injured party in 2015, of which 642 resulted in at least one fatality. These figures suggest that, taken at global level, hundreds of thousands of injuries, and thousands of fatalities occur every year in work zones.

Work zones thus represent a very serious safety concern for the road community, particularly across the developing world where an abundance of road rehabilitation projects have not been accompanied by commensurate efforts and investments to foster a culture of safe road construction.

According to Chris Sanders, Lindsay Transportation Solutions and Chairman of the IRF Road Safety Committee, “Infrastructure is aging across the globe and must be maintained to preserve its value. However, these work zones offer much more dangerous driving conditions and increase danger to workers and motorists. Solutions exist, but their use is hindered without comprehensive policies and consistent implementation.”

In an effort to tackle the unacceptable rate of work zone injuries, the IRF is releasing a policy statement today titled “Mandating Safer Work Zones Globally” covering the establishment of national guidelines, the selection and use of temporary traffic control devices, work zone inspections and the need to invest in strengthening skills within public agencies and the contracting community.

Pete Johnston, 3M, and Chairman of the IRF Temporary Traffic Control Subcommittee noted: “Countermeasures that are proven to improve safety and mobility are minimal investments when weighed against the total cost of most projects. To insure effective and sustainable temporary traffic control set-ups, authorities should include provisions in their national guidelines that mandate traffic control plan implementation, and that traffic control plans need to be part of the budget and funded.”

“IRF’s advocacy work furthers our global mission to unite all road stakeholders around a consistent vision,” said IRF Chairman Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel. “This latest policy statement underscores the need to set ambitious road safety requirements at all stages of road design, construction and operation.”

Accepting the award, Mr. Steudle stated “I am quite honored to receive this distinguished recognition from the IRF. Serving the public has been a true privilege and a very rewarding career. The IRF has been a great partner in many different areas and I am thankful for their tireless work. I look forward to continued collaboration”

Find a Way Award IRF gave its prestigious annual safety accolade — known as the ‘Find a Way’ award — to Highways England, a government-owned company charged with operating, maintaining and improving England’s motorways and major A roads.

The ‘Find a Way’ was instituted as part of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety by IRF Chairman Eng. Abdullah Al-Mogbel in recognition of the value of political leadership in driving road traffic injury reduction strategies. Every year, the Award distinguishes outstanding commitment to safer roads by a local or national government on the anniversary of the launch of the Decade of Action.

Receiving the award for Highways England, Richard Leonard, Head of Road Safety, Safety Engineering & Standards noted “At Highways England we believe passionately in the safety of everyone using our roads and although they are among the safest in the world we are always working hard to improve them. We have a long term goal that no-one should be harmed while travelling or working on our network and are working with others on innovative ideas to achieve that. We are delighted the International Road Federation has recognized our work to date and we look forward to continued collaboration with partners across the world to further improve safety for all.”

2018 GRAA Winners Global Road Achievement Awards (GRAA) This year, the IRF honored 11 projects from around the world, each leading the way in innovation across major road and highway disciplines. The selection was made by an international panel of senior road development specialists.

CATALYZING EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT relationship that bonds the organizations that support the program and the IRF Fellows who receive a leg up in achieving their educational and professional dreams.

Louis Berger, and now the Berger Charitable Foundation, have long been active supporters of the program. Every year, we fund a named grant that enables a deserving international student to continue their studies and bolster their academic endeavors. We are particularly pleased when they return to their home countries and utilize the knowledge thus gained in an environment where it can make a difference.

The International Road Educational Foundation is charity that is the catalyst for the sustained funding of the IRF Fellowship Program and the grants given to individual students.

Key stakeholders of the program include: • the students whose lives were substantially changed through the support they received;

• the universities who partner with us to offer preferential tuition fees in world-class learning environments ; • and the employers whose support enhances the pool of talent our industry so critically needs.

What I wanted to underscore was the special

But each of the 1,500 individuals the program has supported has had an individual trajectory.

In fact, there as many stories as there are IRF Fellows. Please take a moment to ask them about their experience with the Fellowship program. And please ask yourselves how your organization can ensure that other highly qualified applicants can continue fulfilling their dreams of continuing their education and advancing their professional goals.

We need all your support and energy.
