Peter had a great week at International Road Federation - IRF Global R2T 2025, connecting with industry leaders from more than 50 countries and contributing to global conversations on the future of road safety and mobility.
From the sessions and discussions, three challenges stood out:
- MANAGING COMPLEXITY AT SCALE
From risk-rating the Trans-African Highway using remote sensing to understanding pavement recovery times, the challenge isn’t a lack of data; it’s turning it into clear, comparable insight.
- MOVING FROM STATIC PLANS TO REAL-TIME NETWORKS
Across urban and rural contexts, there is growing momentum behind real-time systems, from traffic signals prioritising emergency and transit vehicles to managing pedestrian and event movements dynamically.
- DESIGNING SAFETY AS A SYSTEM, NOT A FIX
A consistent theme was the Safe System approach: designing road networks that anticipate risk, adapt to conditions, and prioritise people at every stage.
It was a privilege for Peter to share the stage with peers from across the globe and to bring these insights back to the work we do with governments and road authorities.
Thank you to IRF and the speakers who made this such a valuable exchange.
