The iRAP Peter Kissinger Memorial Award honours the great road safety work by Peter Kissinger.
In recognition of his great contribution to iRAP, the Peter Kissinger Memorial Award is awarded to the iRAP Staff Member who most emulates the iRAP values and spirit that Peter demonstrated in practice each day.
Peter fue un defensor de la seguridad vial, colega y amigo de iRAP. Fue miembro de la junta directiva de iRAP desde 2005 hasta 2019, presidente y director ejecutivo de la Fundación AAA para la Seguridad Vial (de 2002 a 2016) y formó parte de la Fundación de Investigación de Ingeniería Civil desde 1992 hasta 2001.
The nominations were shortlisted by iRAP’s Chairman – Mr Gary Liddle, and chosen by Willie Kissinger, Peter’s wife.
Willie used the iRAP values and looked for characteristics that made her think of Peter. We are thrilled that Willie was able to provide the final decision and will continue to be involved with this award for years to come.
