Details
Registrations will open in early 2013.
The Centre for Accident Research & Road Safety - Queensland (CARRS-Q) Introduction to Road Safety course provides an introduction to major road safety principles, issues and practices, emphasising the multidisciplinary nature of road safety.
You will learn road safety principles used in a variety of situations, such as:
- crash analysis
- crash data collection and interpretation
- regulation
- strategy in road safety
- research, and
- community road safety practice.
We highlight the importance of the scientific approach to road safety and to evidence-based practice. You will develop information retrieval skills, focusing on road safety databases and information sources. The course will develop your skills in:
- identifying and profiling important road safety issues
- identifying and describing factors that contribute to crashes or to elevation of crash risk, and
- applying conceptual frameworks (eg: the Haddon matrix) to describing and understanding road safety issues and the countermeasures used to address them.
Case studies will be used wherever possible to illustrate principles and practice.
