Content

The course Road Safety in the South includes global road safety knowledge that is relevant to traffic safety in the South. Specific cases from the South will be handled as well (e.g., Vietnam). To this end, the course involves the cooperation of several international guest speakers. The classes entail lectures and work sessions. These will handle road safety theory and apply this to cases in their specific region. Moreover, students work on a group assignment where they will choose a specific region (e.g., city, country) in the South in order to apply the Safe Systems Approach.
