Event

Welcome to join our SAFER Research Day!

In this mini-conference, we will explore crucial considerations surrounding traffic safety data, focusing on usage, accessibility, bias and ethics. Join us for a comprehensive overview of available datasets facilitated by SAFER partners and our collaboration platform. Our expert presenters will lead discussions on important topics, including reflections on the openness and accessibility of data as well as on biases within datasets and ethical implications. Additionally, we will examine unexpected and innovative applications of these datasets in research.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on accessibility and data integrity in traffic safety research.

AGENDA

09:00-09:05 Introduction and welcome – setting the scene for the day

09:05-10:35 Expert perspectives: Use of, openness, bias and ethical considerations in traffic safety data

Welcome to this session where we will provide a clear overview of available datasets for research though the SAFER partners and the collaboration platform. Our expert presenters will delve into key questions, including:

• Openness and accessibility of the datasets - who can access the data, for what, and what is the process to get access?
• Biases in the datasets.
• Ethical considerations associated with these datasets.
• Unique and unexpected uses of these data for research

Short expert presentations with experts who will share their insights by reflecting on various datasets:

• Use of in-depth accident data and scenario databases for enhancing road safety, Henrik Liers, VUFO
  Henrik will briefly present different in-depth accident data sources (e.g. GIDAS, IGLAD, TASC) including application examples, advantages and limitations. Furthermore, he will talk about the rising numbers of scenario databases which are useful supplements to accident data.
   
• The European Care database, Jordanka Kovaceva, Chalmers University of Technology
  The presentation will give an overview of Community database on Crashes on the Roads in Europe (CARE).
   
• Decoding crash data – and a glimpse into Insurance, Magdalena Lindman, If Insurance
  The scope of traffic issues are a broad range of concerns – are we really efficient in covering all aspects? And what kind of data provide the insights we need for traffic management?
   
• Practical Applications, Usage, and Implications of Datasets, Christian Berger, University of Gothenburg
  Chalmers Revere has been engaged in research collaborations over the past years. We will shed light on our experiences from planning datasets, conducting data collections to establish datasets, and facing the truth eventually.
   
• Naturalistic micromobility data: opportunities and threats, Marco Dozza, Chalmers University of Technology
  Marco will present some naturalistic datasets from e-scooters and bicycles that we are currently collecting and/or analyzing at Chalmers.

Data exchange platforms

• Towards a common European mobility data space, reflections on the path forward from a transport system developer, Björn Pauli, The Swedish Transport Administration
  DeployEMDS is a multi country-project that supports the European Union’s digital targets by deploying an operational data space through real-life implementation projects in nine cities and regions in the EU. The Swedish Transport Administration is a part of this project and will share their view on the European Mobility Data Space.
   
• CCAM Test Data Space, Erik Svanberg, Svanberg & Svanberg
  Establishing a platform for data exchange between research projects under Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) Work Programme.
   
• Opportunities with streaming data, Johan Amoruso-Wennerby, Volvo Cars

10:35-11:00 Networking break – opportunities to meet at dedicated spots to discuss with the speakers

11:00-11:30 Panel Dialogue: Accessibility considerations in traffic safety data - Addressing usage, openness, bias and ethics

11:30-11:35 A Guide to research opportunities using the SAFER Data Catalogue, Erik Svanberg

11:35-12:00 Data demands: Collaborative workshop on SAFER partners’ needs.

Join us for an interactive workshop aimed at understanding partner data needs and fostering connections between data providers and need owners. Through brainstorming and interactive activities, we aim to identify common requirements and priorities that will shape the future direction of the SAFER platform. Don't miss this opportunity to contribute your insights and address your needs.
