IRDES - Proceedings of the first webinar

Short for web-based seminar, a webinar is a workshop that is transmitted over the web. The webinar was aimed at presenting the deliverables of the IRDES Project and also to propose an interactive discussion on how to optimise the further development of the IRDES Roadside Design Guide, in line with stakeholders’ expectations. It was opened to road laboratories, authorities, operators (including toll motorway operators) and owners, road users (fleet operators), and governmental organisations that are dealing with forgiving roadsides. Speakers were in the same place (in Paris) while the attendees participated from their own offices with a combined phone-web connection tool. This document describes the webinar organization and attendees, summarises the presentations offered during the webinar and the discussion that occurred with the attendees on the different topics . The full presentations offered at the webinar are included at the end of the document.
