2016年6月13-14日，TSR年度会议在美国召开。在为期两天的会议上，45位来自各成员公司的代表、8位来自TSR专家小组的学者共同出席了会议，就过去一年TSR的工作成果、目前全球道路安全现状、道路交通安全研究成果，以及未来道路交通安全改善规划等方面，进行了广泛和深入的探讨。同济大学交通安全国际联合实验室执行主任王雪松教授，作为两位新加入的专家之一，在专家圆桌会议上发言。
据联合国世界卫生组织统计，每年因为道路交通安全而死亡的人数在不断攀升，已成为人类的第八大致死因素，如果不加预干涉，到2030年，它将超越艾滋病、糖尿病等，成为第五大致死因素。不仅如此，道路交通碰撞每年所造成的经济损失超过5000亿美元，占全球GDP的1-3%。强化道路安全势在必行。
TSR（Together for Safer Roads）于2014年11月在联合国正式启动，希望借助联盟的国际影响力，创建一个道路对所有人都安全的世界，减少道路交通事故数量，使之不再成为全球范围内导致死亡及伤害的主要原因。联盟目前旗下已有16个全球知名企业加入，联盟成员的总雇员数超过300万人，企业分布在全球200多个国家，企业交通行程每年达48亿公里。
本次会议总结了上一年度TSR的工作成果，其中包括发布《2016年美国国家科学院医学讨论文件》和《专家小组白皮书》、加入国际交通安全数据和分析组织、并参加第22届年度会议，向联合国全球契约递交准入申请等。
在本次年会上，王雪松教授作为专家，介绍了过去一年TSR项目在上海的推广情况。TSR在中国提出了“路安享、车安心、人安心”的愿景，2015年起，同济大学交通安全国际联合实验室作为学术指导单位，携手国际联盟TSR，参与改善上海交通安全。TSR与交通安全国际合作联合实验室一起着手制定了未来两年的工作计划，将“事故多发道路的安全改善”和“基于行为分析的营运驾驶员安全教育”作为两大重点安全改善项目，同时也携手各方在国内持续开展交通安全宣传教育。 王雪松教授在发言中，也向与会各位介绍了如中国这类新兴国家的道路安全问题与现状，提出开发有效的事故数据库、基于严格安全评估标准的道路设计，车辆安全设计以及驾驶辅助系统、以及对公众安全意识的教育和宣传，这些都将非常有效地提升未来道路安全系数。 本次年会同时也制定了接下来两年的工作计划。在接下来两年中，参加、开展全球道路安全活动将作为TSR联盟的工作重点，TSR希望藉此让联盟和联盟成员公司一同成为道路安全私营领域的宣传主导和知识领袖，提供全球范围内的能够减少道路伤亡的解决方案。
关于TSR
“携手创建更安全道路”国际联盟（以下简称TSR）是一个汇聚了全球众多知名企业及组织机构的非盈利性公益联盟，于2014年11月在联合国正式成立，主要致力于全球道路安全的改善、降低因道路安全而造成的交通死亡与伤害。该项目由全球道路安全合作组织、世界资源研究所-EMBARD、世界银行、iRAP、约翰霍普金斯大学、卫健策略和The Union等国际组织参与。TSR汇集联盟下各成员的专业知识、数据资料、研究技术以及全球网络等优势，集中关注五个重点领域的改善，包括“道路安全管理”、“安全道路及出行”、“更安全的车辆”、“更安全的道路使用者”，以及“事故后反应”。同济大学交通安全国际合作联合实验室作为TSR的学术指导单位参与此项目。目前，TSR的成员还包括：AB InBev, AIG, AT&T, Chevron, Ericsson, Facebook, GM, IBM, iHeartMedia, Octo Telematics, PepsiCo, Republic Services, Ryder, UPS, 以及Walmart等。截止目前，联盟目前旗下已有16个全球知名企业加入。
TSR Annual conference was held in United States in 2016
On 2016 June 13th to 14th, Together for Safer Roads (TSR) held their annual conference in the United States. During this two day conference, 45 representatives from different organizations as well as 8 scholars from TSR academic panel gathered together to not only review TSR’s past year production records, but also discussed the current global transportation safety situation, shared some of the research results of transportation safety and proposed future improvement plans regarding transportation safety. Professor Xuesong Wang of Tongji University, also the director from Joint International Research Laboratory of Transportation Safety, presented during this conference as one of the two newly added members.
According to United Nation’s World Health Organization, deaths due to traffic accidents are ever increasing every year, which has already become the 8th leading factor of death. Following this trend, in 2030, it will overtake AIDS and diabetes as the 5th leading factor of death. On top of that, traffic accidents cost around 500 billion dollars per year, accounting for 1-3% of the global GDP. Therefore, actions must be taken to improve transportation safety.
TSR (Together for Safer Roads) launched in November 2014 in United Nations, hope with the effect of international alliance, to reduce the rate of traffic accidents to the point of that it is no longer one of the leading cause of death. With the mission in mind to create a world that has a completely safe transportation system. The alliance currently has 16 famous multi-national corporations. There are more than 3 million employees in these corporations, as well as a distribution of franchise and enterprise over 200 countries, and more than 4.8 billion miles of total business trips travelled.
Professor Xuesong Wang, as an expert in this field, reviewed TSR’s achievements in Shanghai in the past year during this conference. TSR in China introduced the mission: safer roads, safer vehicles and safer users. Starting from 2015, Joint International Research Laboratory of Transportation Safety as the academic guidance organization, partnered with TSR to collectively improve transportation safety in Shanghai. Together with the laboratory, TSR developed a plan proposal for the upcoming two years. The proposal especially stressed two main improvement projects that they were going to heavily focus on: safety measures taken upon accident-prone roads and driver safety education based on analyzing drivers’ behaviors. In addition, these two organizations are also continuously developing transportation safety education programs in different countries. During this conference, professor Wang out the transportation safety problems in China, and proposed that by developing useful accident recording database, designing roads that are strictly follow the assessment standards, establishing vehicle safety design and driver assistance system, and last but not the least, promoting transportation safety education and awareness. All of the above mentioned methods can be applied to improve transportation safety. This annual conference has also taken the initiative in making the work plans for the next two years. TSR will mainly focus on participating and developing transportation safety events that are going to be held globally. TSR hopes that this alliance members and organizations come together to publically promote transportation safety as an intellectual private sector leader, by providing global solutions that are going to reduce road accident casualties.
About TSR
"Together for Safer Roads" (TSR) is an organization formed in November 2014 under United Nation, which gathers many well-known global organizations and NGOs to form a Non-Profit Public Welfare Alliance.

The project was participated by the Global Road Safety Cooperation Organization, EMBARD World Resources Institute, The World Bank, iRAP, John Hopkins University, WeiJian Strategy, The Union and many other international organizations. TSR compiled all of the knowledge, data, research techniques and global network advantage from all of its alliance organizations to specifically target and improve five different aspects regarding road safety. These five aspects are: road safety management, road safety and transportation, vehicle safety, safer road participants and post-accident response. Joint International Research Laboratory of Transportation Safety as the academic guidance of TSR is fully involved in this project. Currently, members of TSR include: AB InBev, AIG, AT&T, Chevron, Ericsson, Facebook, GM, IBM, iHeartMedia, Octo Telematics, PepsiCo, Republic Services, Ryder, UPS, Walmart and so on.
