Automotive Safety is becoming one of the top issues for most communities today. The conference is held periodically, every two years. Countries all over Europe are striving hard to significantly reduce the number od deaths due to roads accidents. The target of a 50 % reduction in road fatalities set in the 2001-2010 Transport White Paper was not achieved, hence the same target in the 4th Road Safety Action Programme for years 2011-2020. Another road traffic safety project assumes that by the year 2050 the number of fatalities should be reduced to zero.

There are seven strategic objectives of the 4th Road Safety Action Programme, with the most important being No. 4 ‘Safer vehicles’ and No. 5 ‘Promotion of the use of modern technology to improve road safety’. As they are  obviously aimed at research communities dealing with automotive safety, they have become the main areas of topics covered at this Conference. The important issues raised by the speakers, the substantive discussions that follow and the friendly atmosphere have all contributed to the growing interest in our Conference.

This year shows an increase in the number of papers to be presented during the plenary and poster sessions. We wish to thank all the participants of the Conference for their efforts put in the preparation of papers, multimedia presentations and posters. We are filly convinced that 2018 event will prove as successful as all the previous ones, providing a high-quality forum to exchange experience and knowledge. We invite you to the 11th edition of the Conference.
