H.E. Eng. Abdullah Al-Mogbel, Chairman Emeritus for Life, International Road Federation
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Road Safety & Sustainability Conference: Innovating for Tomorrow, organized with the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Services and the Roads General Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia taking place from November 3 to 4, 2024, in the magnificent city of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This prestigious event comes at a time when the need to enhance road safety is more pressing than ever. As transportation networks continue to expand and evolve, ensuring the safety of all road users must remain a top priority. Through this conference, we will explore the latest innovations, best practices, and policies that can transform the way we address road safety, creating safer, smarter roads for future generations.
Our sessions will focus on the cutting-edge role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in preventing accidents, optimizing traffic flow, and improving vehicle safety. These technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to reduce road fatalities and injuries significantly, and I am confident that our discussions will help shape a safer future for our transportation systems.
While safety will be at the core of this event, we cannot ignore the importance of sustainability in shaping the roads of tomorrow. Our conversations will also touch on how green infrastructure and sustainable transport solutions can complement safety efforts, ensuring that our roads not only protect lives but also preserve the environment for future generations. The integration of safety and sustainability is vital for building resilient and future-proof transportation networks.
The accompanying exhibition will showcase the latest advancements in road safety technologies and sustainable transport solutions, providing invaluable insights for professionals eager to stay ahead in this rapidly changing field. I look forward to welcoming you to Riyadh, where together, we can drive forward the future of safer, more sustainable roads.
Sincerely,
Eng. Abdullah A. Almogbel
