Some reflections on International Road Federation (IRF) - Official World Congress 2024 last week… 💡 It was a conference of many questions - for example: ✨ AI may be alluring - but does it make complex things more simple and less costly in the long run? asked Michael Schuch of SWARCO 🛣️ How do we break down silos so everyone with a vested interest - government, agencies, health, education - can work towards sustainable roads? asked Victoria Sheehan of Transportation Research Board 💔There is a ‘silent pandemic’ of road deaths; how do we stop it? asked Mehmet Gurcan of Togg 💚 Can 2 pollutions *really* make one solution? asked Nejan Hatko of Hatko Sound Barriers (Answer:yes) 🌱And how easy is it to embed ‘sustainability culture’ into a project from the start? asked Andrew Warrington of Arcadis ➡️Please add questions we’ve missed from #IRF2024 in the comments - and if you’ve got answers, so much the better! 👇🏼 To jog your memory, check out our #IRF2024 coverage at https://lnkd.in/gE6PYi7j Susanna Zammataro Malika Seddi Bill M.
