Welcome
I am delighted that our Independent Council for Road Safety International (ICoRSI) meeting in China marks the third year since a small group of us saw the urgent need for better communication and action globally in the field of road casualty research.
The small band who met in Budapest and then grew in Paris, now meet in Changsha, China. Sadly, the turmoil in UK politics and the crucial Brexit votes mean I cannot be with you this time, and I apologise profusely for this.
We launched ICORSI because we are convinced that the struggle to tackle the great epidemic of our times, road deaths and serious injuries, can only be tackled by good laws based on high quality research, which are then fairly and firmly enforced.
We were deeply concerned that in recent years some centres of research had declined or disappeared and that we needed more national and regional research hubs in the transport safety sector. In addition, we worried that existing researchers were unaware of their colleagues working in other parts of the world and we were determined to identify all researchers and link them in a supportive manner. The politicians amongst us particularly understood that excellent research requires proper funding from diverse sources of finance.
In two years we have made much progress and identified many new researchers, many from diverse interesting backgrounds and cultures. We are now working with many organisations to highlight not only our existence and the valuable role that research play. It is clear to all of us working for a dramatic reduction in road deaths that we need the best possible data. The data collectors, national and regional governments, the police and health sectors must be empowered to know where accidents occur to plan sensible accident reduction policies. Good data, excellent research and proper public health education are of fundamental importance to our work. My job as a mere politician is to try to harness this good science and link it with a passion that will lead to good legislation and regulation to deliver the casualty reduction we so desperately need.
ICoRSI has enormous potential but our driving objective is to tackle the 1.4 million killed on the roads each year and reduce the ten times that number who are seriously injured. I know, that working together we can continue to go from strength to strength. As a starter for priority activity now we can focus on six priorities, use of seatbelts, cars satisfying latest crashworthiness standards, helmet use by two-wheeler riders, daytime headlamp use by motorcyclists, speed control and control of driving under the influence of alcohol. Have a brilliant seminar and great discussion in Changsha.

Independent Council for Road Safety International (ICoRSI)
Vision
The implementation of effective strategies for the prevention of road traffic deaths and injuries is a global health priority and consistent with the goal of environmental sustainability. With the ultimate goal of eliminating all deaths and disabilities related to mobility, ICoRSI envisions a comprehensive and rigorous scientific evaluation of all mobility related policies and encourages promotion of evidence-based safety interventions.
Keeping this vision in mind we believe that road safety and sustainable mobility policies should be based on sound analyses of road safety data and scientifically robust evaluations of road safety interventions. ICoRSI recognises that the field of safety is an area that involves expertise from several sectors including those from the engineering, planning, architecture, epidemiology, economics, statistics, medicine, environmental sciences and the social sciences. The Council therefore draws from the experience, knowledge and the expertise of experts from many of these areas, so that recommendations from the Council are broad based and are socially, economically and scientifically acceptable.
ICoRSI maintains its independence by not accepting funding that could in any way compromise the integrity of the organization or the individual members.
Mission
Existing scientific knowledge on road safety can save thousands of lives globally. However, lack of awareness of this knowledge and experience among politicians, policy makers, NGOs, development and donor agencies can lead to adoption of practices that are not only ineffective but in some instances could lead to an increase in deaths and injuries. ICoRSI hopes to provide decision makers and practitioners with scientifically based information and advice to help save lives and prevent disabilities. There is an urgent need to ensure that the road safety activities of local, national, and international institutions prioritize the most important issues that threaten the safety and wellbeing of society.
Decision makers need to be provided with independent and unbiased advice on what is known from decades of safety research, as well as guidance on the expected effects of emerging technologies that could potentially be game changers. Wherever and whenever required ICORSI hopes to generate scientific evidence for safety in transportation through independent research and reviews conducted by members or their associates or partners.
The Independent Council for Road Safety International is a not-for profit organization that provides independent authoritative advice on global road safety policies by road safety scientists that have no financial conflicts of interest. In summary ICoRSI aims to:
- Provide rapid, independent and evidence-based information on road safety policy and practice to policy makers and the public.
- Strengthen the capacity of safety professionals and policy makers to understand existing evidence and undertake new research.
- Facilitate capacity building for safety professionals and policy makers in the field of transportation safety.
