Summary
The Road Safety on Five Continents (RS5C) conference was held on 16-18 May 2018 on Jeju Island, South Korea. The conference was organised by VTI in close cooperation with Korea Transportation Safety Authority (KOTSA) and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) in South Korea.
With focus on traffic safety and health, experts presented and discussed hot topics and the latest research in the road transport area. By providing a mutual ground for sharing knowledge and a forum to discuss mutual problems and their solutions, researchers as well as officials and other stakeholders were able to learn from results, experiences and success stories.
