Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Road Safety: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Sam Waide:

The RSA is not looking at specific solutions. We are aware of the general safety regulations are coming in for various vehicles. I will let my colleague Mr. Rowland touch on those. I have shared with the previous committees detail of what other countries have been trialling and the geofencing for speed, particularly on public buses. My understanding is that they trialled geofenced buses in Stockholm city centre. That is what the Deputy is referring to in terms of that technology and automated reduction of speed. I have raised this at various meetings. At the moment, the RSA does not have any particular specific proposals for that. I welcome that system as a whole. Going into the next three or five years of road safety, we cannot ignore technology. People share their experiences with me.
