A 15% rise in the post-pandemic number of road deaths and serious injuries is a sombre reminder that road safety remains a significant challenge. It’s also one set to be complicated further by electric cars and the increasing integration of self-driving and connected vehicle technologies. To discuss the issues, the British Standards Institution (BSI) is running a webinar on the future of road safety management, the Safe Systems approach and the role of standards. It will cover:

• The key road safety standards, especially ISO 39001, which sets out a best-practice management framework to help reduce the risk of death and serious injury.
• Case studies on using ISO 39001 and the Safe Systems approach.
• The benefits and risks from increasingly connected and automated vehicles.
• The role of standards in helping the safe introduction of in-car technologies.
• A discussion of the BSI Connected and Automated Mobility standards programme.
