Not Just Human Error: Addressing Systemic Risks in Road Safety | Interview with Dr Amir Sobhani
Update: 2025-05-13
Description
Dr. Amir Sobhani is a leading road safety expert with over 22 years of experience in transport engineering, data analytics, and evidence-based policy development.
What you’ll learn:
- Focusing on systemic failures, not just human behaviour: Amir emphasises that crashes result from multiple system-level factors.
Data is essential for proactive safety: Reactive safety strategies (based only on crash history) lead to missed opportunities for reducing trauma. Data like speed, infrastructure, and behavioural insights are key to prevention.
There are obligations on the side of governments and data providers: Legacy systems, data silos, and organizational resistance are major blockers to using analytics effectively. But data providers need to ensure they set organisations up for success by providing support and maintaining good data governance.
