Proceedings of the 2022 Australasian Road Safety Conference - Cairns, Queensland, Australia

Proceedings of the 2023 annual Australasian Road Safety Conference held in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The proceedings provide the Extended Abstracts, Posters, Infographics describing research, educational and policing program implementation and policy and management strategies related to all aspects of road safety and especially related to the conference theme of Safe Travel for All. Almost 600 delegates from 22 countries attended the hybrid conference. Authors of accepted Extended Abstracts represented international and local institutions from all aspects of their respective communities including research centres, private companies, government agencies and community groups. These Extended Abstracts provide an indication of the important work being done in Australia, New Zealand and internationally as part of the United Nations, One UN Vision for Road Safety to reduce the number of crashes on the road by 50 percent by 2030. Over 200 Extended Abstract manuscripts were accepted for face-to-face (F2F), virtual and poster sessions. Each Extended Abstract was peer-reviewed by two experts with relevant expertise. Authors were also provided the option of submitting a Full Paper. Those authors who chose to submit a Full Paper for consideration in the Journal of Road Safety (JRS) could do so based on the outcome of the peer review of their Extended Abstract. Submitted Full Papers undergo peer-review by three independent experts matched by their sector. The matching pairs academic authors with academic reviewers and practitioner authors with practitioner reviewers. Inclusion in the JRS follows acceptance by the peer-reviewers. The conference covered a comprehensive range of topics including speed, infrastructure and road design, cyclist safety, motorcyclist safety, pedestrian safety, road safety education, licensing, vehicle design, impairment due to distraction from mobile phones, alcohol, drugs as well as the impacts of climate change on future transport systems road safety, road safety issues for Indigenous people groups across New Zealand and Australia, integrating road safety into local Government, automated enforcement, gig economy road safety, older drivers, etc.
