eSafety Deployment Workshop and Award Ceremony

Creation date: 18 June 2007

A Workshop on eSafety Deployment will take place on 14 November that includes the presentation of the inaugural eSafety Deployment award!

Organised by the eSafety Forum’s Implementation Road Maps Working Group and eSafety Support, the workshop will deal with the following questions:

• Have we done enough to improve road safety?
• Where do we stand on the deployment of integrated vehicle safety systems?
• Are we being left behind by Japan and the US?

These issues will be addressed by speakers from Europe, Japan, US and elsewhere. The workshop aims to give participants insight into:

• The implementation situation in both Europe and around the world
• Best practices in promoting deployment
• What Europe can learn from experiences in the different areas

eSafety Deployment Award
The workshop programme will also feature the presentation of the first ever eSafety Deployment Award. This honour will be bestowed upon a person who has shown outstanding achievements with regards to the acceleration of the deployment of eSafety systems. Proposals for nominees, including documentation on his/her achievements, should be sent to info@eSafetySupport.org by 31 August 2007.

The Workshop’s tentative agenda is included below. A preliminary agenda will be provided as soon as all speakers have been confirmed.
