Apologies had been received from Mike Dreznes of IRF and Steve Lawson of iRAP.
Objectives
Following on from the previous meeting, which had finalised the Terms of Reference and addressed
work policies and strategic emphasis, the main aim of the session was to review progress with
respect to each focus area, identify deliverables for the next six months and define teams.
Significant work had been undertaken by the co-chairs and focus group leaders in advance of the
meeting with a view to consolidating past discussions (which had involved a wide variety rather
than a consistent set of participants) and synthesising these around key themes and targets.
2
Framework for Next Phase
This preparatory work was further refined and discussed during the meeting so as to agree a series
of outline work plans for each focus area, underpinned with templates designed to facilitate both
the division of work and the efficient collection of information and inputs.
On-line Platform
To help initiate the web-based emphasis agreed during the previous meeting, a dedicated page has
been set up for the Project Group work on the global Transport Knowledge Practice (gTKP) web-
site (www.gtkp.com). This has been designed to ensure common access to the latest work-in-
progress, serve as a forum for ongoing comment and, generally, facilitate work flow/coordination.
Going forward, the Group also agreed that the gTKP portal might serve as a useful model for the
organisation and dissemination of work emanating from the Group – as well as a potential host,
having the advantage of being both neutral and already well-established.
Synergies with other Groups and Resources
The group further agreed on the importance of cultivating constructive links and cooperation with
other groups so as to ‘pool’ resources and avoid duplication. For example, the focus group leaders
had identified several areas of potential synergy with the work programmes being developed by
their counterparts within the IRF Group of Experts on Road Safety.
Similarly, the work of the Group could be greatly facilitated and advanced by the extensive research
and tools kindly placed at its disposal by the World Road Association (PIARC). In this respect,
cooperation was initiated within the group to ensure that the concise, ‘user friendly’ summary
outputs envisaged by the Project Group would both reflect and complement the more
comprehensive PIARC materials – as well as guide those readers requiring more detailed
information towards them.
Capacity Building
One area that particularly highlighted both the need and potential for effective pooling of resources
and coordination was that of training and capacity building. Already, two UNRSC project groups (1
& 2) were engaged in compiling lists of reputable training institutions and courses in different parts
of the world and a separate circular had recently been circulated by the UNRSC Secretariat calling
for information across all groups regarding road safety training courses. The theme also cross-cut
the work of Thematic Sub-Group 2 of the IRF Group of Experts on Road Safety, which was dedicated
to Road Safety Education & Training for Sector Professionals.
In view of the limited time available to the meeting on this occasion (given the launch of the Global
Status Report on Road Safety 2013), the Chair proposed to follow up with the concerned individuals
within Project Group 1 and the UNRSC Secretariat to avoid overlap and ensure that the various
initiatives complemented each other. She would similarly initiate constructive cooperation in this
respect with the IRF Group of Experts.

Report of the Project Group: Safer Roads Users
Thursday, 14 March 2013
Chair: Pieter Venter, Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), on behalf of Gayle DiPietro (GRSP)
Attendees:
Ms Martine Aitken, European Road Safety Charter, P.A.U, Spain
Mr Grant Baldwin, CDC
Ms Kate Carr, Safe Kids Worldwide
Ms Janet Dore, Transport Accident Commission, Victoria, Australia
Mr Robert Hill, Victoria Police, Australia
Dr Melecki Khayesi, WHO

Ms Kelly Larson, Bloomberg Philanthropies
Mr Iain Levy, Mobileye
Ms Thandi Moya, South Africa Road Traffic Management Corporation
Mr Mike Watson, GRSP/GRSI
Mr Ceri Woolsgrove, European Cyclist Federation
The proposed agenda for the discussion included:
• Update on progress of Pedestrian materials
• Discussion on dissemination and informations sharing on social marketing
• How to coordinate efforts to improve seat belt wearing rates globally
After an up-date about the Pedestrian Guidelines, the urgent need for the tool kit was expressed, as
organisations have to start the preparation of the week.
FIA intended to create a database of good practices for their members. They are considering
broadening this portal so that it could host some good practices coming from the working group.
GRSP reminded the group that they have opened a space in their website
(http://www.grsproadsafety.org/) for such publications. We referred also to the Global Transport
Knowledge practice (www.gtkp.com) which presents a selection of good practices.
Additional needs and issues for consideration for dissemination of good practice incldue:
- The need to work on good practice materials to underline the lessons learnt.
- Care should be taken to prevent duplicating tools.
- to the need to disseminate the information on identified tools so that they are more used:
P.A.U. Education proposes to create a Social marketing strategy to coordinate and
communicate about the working group achievements

Ms Kelly Larson from Bloomberg Philanthropies presented on the Road Safety in 10 countries
(RS10) initiative. The initiative focuses on implementing effective measures in 10 countries to
address road safety and has started to have very good results. The results of the intiative are
described in the Bloomberg Philangropies 2010-2012 midway report “Leading the worldwide
movement to improve road safety report”. Information concerning the initiative and the report itself
are available on the WHO website,
http://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/road_traffic/countrywork/en/index.html, as well
as on the Bloomberg Philanthropies website,
http://mikebloomberg.com/index.cfm?objectid=4DCD9F53-C29C-7CA2-F5345D6A84C908A4.
The group did not have sufficient time to develop an approach on how to improve seat belts
wearing rates, so each member of the group will send its contribution for follow-up discussion.

Report of the Project Group: Post crash care
Thursday, 14 March 2013
Chair: Dr Margie Peden, WHO
Co-chair: Ms Rochelle Sobel, ASIRT
Rapporteur: Dr Christina Huwer, WHO
Attendees:
Mrs Ortrud Birk, Fédération International de L’Automobile (FIA)
Mrs Samantha Cockfield, Transport Accident Commission, Victoria, Australia
Dr Adnan Hyder, Johns Hopkins, International Injury Research Unit
Dr Pablo Perel, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Prof Manuel Ramos, FEVR
Dr Daouda Sagna, Laser International
Ms Ekaterina Saitgarieva, Russian Mission
Mr Edward Salahov, Russian Ministry of Health
Mrs Awa Ndèye Sarr, Laser International
Dr Uli Schmucker, German Trauma Society
Meeting summary:
After a brief self-introduction of participants Margie Peden provided a short review of the
objectives of the working group. This was followed by presentations by members and guests on
special programmes and topics relevant to post-crash care:
Tranexamic Acid (TXA) & The Global Plan for the Decade of Action
Dr Pablo Perel, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine made a presentation on
Tranexamic Acid (TXA) & The Global Plan for the Decade of Action (Annex 1). TXA is a 50-year old
antifibrinolytic drug which is widely used during surgery and for some gynaecological conditions.
In studies on mortality and need for transfusion a positive effect was shown for TXA-use in surgery.
The CRASH 2 trial was developed to investigate if there are similar effects on reducing bleeding
among trauma patients. More than 20,000 patients from 274 hospitals in 40 countries were
enrolled and statistically significant reduction of the risk of death due to bleeding, less occlusive
vascular events and a general decrease in mortality were seen. The study also showed that the time
of administration of TXA is critical – it must be given within 3 hours after the injury. The conclusion
of the presentation was that TXA is a cost-effective intervention in bleeding trauma patients which
reduces the risk of death but the use of TXA in trauma patients is not very widespread yet.
The presentation was followed by a brief discussion on the problems of the slow implementation of
TXA use in countries despite of the published results of the trial. The group agreed that promotion
and facilitation of uptake is needed.

Supporting trauma care in Kenya
Dr Adnan Hyder, Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit introduced a project to improve
care for injured patients in Kenya by improvement of the trauma system. Several steps are
necessary to mature a trauma system (stakeholder involvement, national EMS conference; training
of EMS providers; training of hospital based providers; trauma registry development and
implementation; equipment training; advice of EMS communication system; helping strengthen
trauma care legislation; and developing a QI programme). The project in Kenya can be used as an
example for other countries.
Post-crash care in Germany
Dr Uli Schmucker, DGU – German Trauma Society gave an overview over post-crash care in
Germany as an example from a high-income country. In Germany injury is seen as a “team disease”
and multidisciplinary treatment approach is implemented. Germany has a universal health
insurance, shared health services funding and a physician-based EMS. There are nationwide
standards of trauma care defined in a S3-guideline on trauma care and a whitebook on trauma care.
The whitebook contains auditable criteria for trauma centers and trauma networks. At the moment
there are 36 certified networks and more than 600 certified centers. 4 of the networks are cross-
border networks with neighboring countries, this is intended to be the start of an European rollout
of the system. In China, Dubai and Iran first steps to an international rollout are taken. It is aimed
for full network coverage of Germany in 2014, the European and international rollout will be
facilitated. The German national trauma registry includes more than 125,000 cases currently, 55%
of the cases are due to road crashes. Some specific registry data on road crash victims were
presented.
Crash Investigations
Prof Manuel Ramos, FEVR presented on post-crash investigation for victims of road crashes.
Information on best practices in post-crash investigation needs to be collected and used as
information for victims. It is known that the outcome of victims is worse without knowledge on the
investigation. So far there are few materials published and further research is needed. Often victims
don’t have access to information which creates further problems. Prof Ramos shared information
about ongoing work at the Economic Commission for Europe, Inland Transport Committee,
Working Party on Road Traffic Safety (WP1), including
• Multi-disciplinary crash investigation, information from Denmark, Norway, Turkey and the
United States of America during the 27–30 September 2010 session of WP.1 in Geneva
(http://www.unece.org/trans/roadsafe/wp12010.html) .
• The Consolidated Resolution on Road Traffic Multi-disciplinary crash investigation, during the
27–30 September 2010 WP1 session in Geneva
(http://www.unece.org/trans/roadsafe/wp12010.html).
• Consolidated Resolution on road Traffic: Multidisciplinary crash investigation (MDCI),
Submitted by the Governments of Norway, Sweden and USA, during the 18 -21 March 2013,
WP1 session in Geneva (http://www.unece.org/trans/roadsafe/wp12013.html).

Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety
Mr Jeffrey Witte, AMEND presented the Global Alliance of NGO for Road Safety. The Global Alliance
of NGO for Road Safety provides information over and for NGOs working in the field of road safety.
The Alliance currently has over 140 member NGOs from 90 countries which are introduced on the
website roadsafetyngos.org. The third meeting of the Alliance will take place in Antalya on 4/5 April.
Due to time constraints, the presentation on Monitoring and evaluation of post-crash care by Dr
Margie Peden was delayed until the next meeting.
The presentations were followed by a discussion on possible future areas of activity for the working
group. The areas social campaigns/advertising, accessibility and rehabilitation as well as linking car
manufacturers to post-crash investigation were proposed for consideration.

Chair: Mrs Ndeye Awa Sarr, Laser International
Rapporteur: Ms Rose Van Steijn, Fleet Forum
Attendance:
Ms Martine Aitken, European Road Safety Charter, P.A.U. Education, Spain
Mr Jack Hanley, NETS
Ms Rebecca Huang, UNECE
Mr Gabriel Kardos, Johnson & Johnson
Mr Hyunsoo Kong, ILO
Mr Frank Leys, ILO

Mr Mike Watson, Global Road Safety Partnership/GRSI
Minutes
1. Welcome by the chair
2. Introduction of the participants
3. Minutes of the previous meeting
a. Request from the chair to the participants to report back on the action points in time.
b. Mobileye requests to be participants of the work related road safety working group.
4. Discussion
a. Fleetsafe portal: more information on fleetsafe.org will be shared by Awa and Adrian.
Fleetsafe will be a tool for all of the participants with best practices to share.
How to disseminate the information on Fleetsafe: Good practices are classified by
region; this will also help to address the language issue. Contributions can be sent to
Adrian Walsh and Awa Sarr.
Recall of Jack Hanley (NETS): we need to discuss the navigation of the Fleetsafe
website, as indicated by Stephanie Pratt (NIOSH), group coordinator for the collection
of information.
9
Before we start marketing the website, a website expert needs to clean the website
up and to bring more structure. Participants do agree that Fleetsafe should be used
as the portal.
Action: Awa will check with Adrian if he has a webmaster/designer. If not, the
participants will need to find funding to make the website attractive.
Action: Mobileye proposed to an in-kind contribution an expert, and build up a new
website gathering the same information and more attractive. This proposition will be
submitted to the UNRSC, since Mobileye is not member of the UNRSC, and participates as
an observer.
b. Marketing of the WRRSG mission, mainly of the Fleetsafe website needs to be planned and
executed. Two ways are suggested:
Through regional meetings: an African meeting in South Africa suggested.
Through local governments: the group can approach the governments and
make suggestions for how work related road safety can be implemented.
c. Additional follow up and comments:
- Johnson and Johnson: Gabriel Kardos provided shared information about the Johnson
and Johnson Worldwide updated Fleet safety standards, as follow up to 13 March
request for fleet safety guidelines standards to be shared with the group. This
includes legal disclaimer and terms of use information. Awa will circulate the
documents amongst the participants.
- ILO: as follow-up to the last meeting discussions/comments about the lack of
sufficient input from trade unions, Jens Hügel informed the group that ILO will
organise a sectoral meeting in 2 years’ time which could be an opportunity, in future,
for dissemination of WRRS practices. The meeting will be a tri-partite between
governments, employers and employees (trade unions). The activity will focus on
HIV/AIDs, X-ray, packing containers, safe loading etc, fleet safety items.
- European Road Safety Charter: Martine Aitken stated that countries will need to be
identified for holding meetings to discuss/plan dissemination of best practices.
- LASER International: Awa Sarr reported on Regional Road Safety Forums as
opportunities for dissemination. Laser and Fleet Forum organised a Regional Road
Safety Forum in June 2012 in Dakar with the theme of Road Safety and New
Infrastructure, Centrality of Public and Private Fleet. A follow-up forum should be
held in 2013. The objectives of the 2012 forum were:
Highlight innovations and best practices in terms of infrastructure and new
road safety national, regional and global policies.
Harmonize one of the MDGs goals with the Decade of Action for Road Safety
ones: infrastructure development, and securing corporate fleets.
Provide a platform for sharing and exchange for public and private fleets in
terms of road safety policy for a common vision; safe, sustainable solutions.
10
Strengthen the commitment of fleets and the establishment of a common
approach and standards.
- Fleet Forum: Rose Van Steijn informed the group that Fleet Forum has organised
successful round tables in India in which joint road safety initiatives came together
to share fleet best practises. Fleet Forum will also organise similar round tables in
Africa this year.
Action: Martine Aitken to identify European countries (action point from last meeting)
Action: Rose Van Steijn will share the date / location of the round tables.
- Awa Sarr requested volunteers for the Fleetsafe website but also for the
dissemination of knowledge through forums and round tables.
Volunteers for organising a meeting on work related road safety in South
Africa: Rose Van Steijn, Mike Watson, Gabriel Kardos, Awa Sarr, and Daouda
Sagna.
Volunteers for the Website: Iain Levy, Adrian Walsh and Stephanie Pratt.
- The group considered a catalogue or products to sponsor the website however,
determined that this was contrary to the objectives of the group and the UNRSC
TOR, antitrust concerns and lack of a mechanism to assess the quality of the
products. However, the group agreed to consider presenting general information
about available technology and its uses in promoting WRRS on the Fleet safe
website.
- International road safety film festival: to be held 23 and 24 April UNESCO Paris.
Everybody is invited to send in road safety movies. More information can be found
on www.Lasereurope.org or www.Globalroadsafety.org.

17th Meeting of the UN Road Safety Collaboration
Geneva, Switzerland
Report of the Project Group: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the Decade of Action (DoA)
for Road Safety
Thursday, 14 March 2013
Chair: Dr Adnan Hyder, RTIRN/JHU
Co-chair: Dr Tami Toroyan, WHO
Rapporteur: Dr Grant Baldwin, CDC
Meeting Aims:
• review work on the set of "global" indicators for M&E of the DoA since last meeting;
• discuss new data from Global Road Safety Status Report 2;
• explore other sources of data offered by UNRSC members; and
• recommend approaches for data presentation for M&E of the DoA
Discussion
The table of indicators for each Pillar was updated, most recently with data from the 2nd GSRRS. The
group reviewed indicators for each pillar and discussed whether and how new data sources could
be tapped to populate the missing (See Annex 2).
While there were suggestions of additional indicators that could be added, notably by adding more
detailed questions to the GSRRS, it was recognized that this questionnaire already contains over 80
questions. While the questionnaire will be modified based on data received this time, it will not be
possible to add additional questions that resulting allowing richer information, will make this
instrument too long.
Getting data from the UN regional commissions were considered essential, notably to Pillar 2,
which is currently very sparsely populated. Similarly, it was suggested that data from the
development banks should also be gathered to fill some of the current gaps. It was suggested that
the chair of the M&E group circulate an excel sheet to the relevant partners and that if these cells
cannot be populated by the next UNRSC, perhaps we should consider dropping the indicators. Some
specific comments:
- For Pillar 3, there are major concerns about the reliability of the data collected by the
GSRRS on vehicle safety, and alternative methods for getting this information will need to
be proposed (for example, on manufacturing data).
- Pillar 4 is relatively well populated. Questions about including driver fatigue and drugged
driving were raised, but these are unlikely to be addressed by the GSRRS so alternative
sources would need to be found if they were to be added. Information on the number of
countries adopting the ISO standard should now be available.

�Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a synthetic
derivative of the amino acid lysine.
� It has a very high affinity for the lysine
binding sites of plasminogen.
� It blocks these sites and prevents binding
of plasmin to the fibrin surface, thus
exerting its antifibrinolytic effect.

� On the basis of these results, it should be considered for
use in trauma patients with or at risk of bleeding.
Conclusion
