The latest confirmed presentation to be delivered at the 2016 National Road Safety Conference will explore how telematics data can be used to inform interventions developed by road safety practitioners.
The 2016 National Conference is being hosted by Road Safety GB South West Region in Bristol on 15-16 November and is co-sponsored by Colas, Vysionics and Insure The Box. More than 150 people have already registered to attend the event and 16 companies will participate in the exhibition which runs alongside the conference.
The agenda will include sessions focusing on road user psychology, public health and road safety, and social marketing, social media and engagement.
Simon Rewell, road safety manager for Insure the Box, will deliver the latest confirmed presentation which is titled ‘New drivers – the learning curve’.
Using telematics data obtained from policyholders, Insure The Box is able to examine driving behaviours in detail. Simon Rewell’s presentation will discuss the behaviours displayed by novice drivers in the first three months after passing the driving test, and what this means for long terms driving habits. The presentation will raise questions, with the audience invited to consider and suggest possible solutions.
The presentation will also examine whether gender influences behaviours, and how telematics data can be used to inform interventions developed by road safety practitioners to positively influence young driver behaviour, and ultimately reduce crashes and casualties.
