“An integrated approach to mobility management: Reimagining the role of infrastructure in the new connected and autonomous ecosystem” on Tuesday 20 March will examine how connecting parking, public transport, lighting urban and interurban traffic management in one holistic solution can help in solving mobility challenges way more efficiently.

On Wednesday 21 March “Sustainable and Safe Urban Street Design: Meeting Road Safety Targets” will present some successful case studies on safe urban street design from around the world. This workshop will provide concrete suggestions on how to develop context-specific and safe system-based road safety interventions in an urban environment with a particular focus on road markings. The workshop will also mark the launch of the 2018 edition of the Evonik Road Safety Award.
