ROAD Safety Engineering: ROLE FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES?
Transportation Research Record, 2000Co-Authors: Sany R. Zein, Frank NavinAbstract:Over the last 10 years there has been a growing trend among automobile insurance companies to become involved in road Safety Engineering programs. While the involvement of insurance companies in driver education and vehicle design initiatives is common, insurance company initiatives aimed at the Engineering element of road Safety is a relatively new trend. This research summarizes the major road Safety Engineering programs undertaken by six insurance companies in Australia, Canada, and the United States, and presents some of the results achieved. The research finds that the immediacy of the benefit derived from road Safety Engineering improvements, coupled with an expanding knowledge base in this field, are contributing to the growth in interest in road Safety among insurance companies. The financial interest of insurance companies in reducing crash frequencies and severities, as well as any related positive public image that road Safety advocacy can generate, will likely mean that more insurance companies will be exploring avenues for participation in road Safety programs. Opportunities exist for cooperation between the insurance industry and transportation engineers, and they should be pursued for mutual benefit. Although the ultimate responsibility and authority for roads should remain with public agencies, the incentive and emphasis that insurance companies place on road Safety provide a unique opportunity to help reduce the daily risks that we face in a mobile world.

Exploring Methods of the Sustainable Development for Safety Engineering International Course
Sustainability, 2021Co-Authors: Wei Jiang, Jiankai Zhou, Yangping Gao, Yintong WangAbstract:To improve the effectiveness of the international course for Safety Engineering at China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing) (CUMTB), we explored sustainable development methods, co-occurrence analysis, statistical analysis, and questionnaire survey methods in a discussion of the international course’s current state and problems. First, the international course’s research topics and trends were analyzed. Second, other Chinese universities with international courses in Safety Engineering were counted. Finally, the international courses in Safety Engineering at CUMTB were analyzed from three aspects: teachers, teaching content, and course effect. The results show that there is a developing trend in international course research focusing on specific disciplines. For the Safety Engineering international course at CUMTB, foreign university teachers are the first choice for course instruction; however, the language barrier is a primary problem. In terms of teaching content, students are more interested in their intended employment fields and lack an understanding of various research fields. The course meets the students’ expectations but can still be improved. According to the results, we conclude that bilingual teaching by ethnic Chinese university teachers leads to more efficient knowledge acquisition. A guidance course and a survey of students’ employment intentions should be added before the course. Through these measures, the international course’s effectiveness and quality can be improved to better realize sustainable development.
