Restraint Systems & Passive Safety

Course Overview

A one-day course to introduce delegates to run off road collisions, road restraint systems, and passive safety devices.

This course will be useful for both road safety audit and design staff working on schemes that require restraint systems due to the nature of the alignment and speed of the road.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of this course is to introduce the scale of the run off road safety problem, to describe the road restraint standards and to advise on passive safety guidance.

Certification

Delegates completing this course will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, recognised by both the IHE and CIHT.

In-House Training

Please note that this is only available as an in-house training course to be delivered at your offices or at a venue of your choice.

The maximum number of delegates we can train on this course is limited to 16. To receive a quotation, please complete a request below.

Smart Roads

Smart Roads

Course Overview

A two-day course designed to explore the rapidly advancing field of Smart Roads, where traditional infrastructure meets cutting-edge digital technology. This course delves into how emerging innovations, such as AI, autonomous vehicles, IoT, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, are reshaping road design, traffic management, and user experience.

With a strong emphasis on safety, data-driven planning, and the transition toward sustainable, connected transport networks, the course is ideal for professionals involved in highway safety, civil engineering, transport planning, and policy development. It is particularly relevant for those looking to expand their knowledge of how technology is transforming the future of roads.

Candidates will engage with a mix of short lectures, videos, case studies and scenario-based quizzes. Key themes include real-time traffic monitoring, smart sensor integration, connected vehicle infrastructure, predictive maintenance, and the ethical and regulatory challenges of intelligent transport systems.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of the course is to give delegates a comprehensive understanding of how emerging technologies are transforming traditional road infrastructure into smart, adaptive systems that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability for all users.

The course provides delegates from a range of professional backgrounds with up-to-date knowledge of key topics such as artificial intelligence, connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), intelligent traffic systems, and real-time data applications. It highlights new approaches to road design and maintenance enabled by digital tools, and offers delegates the opportunity to network, share experiences, and explore practical applications of smart technology in both urban and rural contexts.

As the aim of the course is to remain current and forward-looking, the content will continue to evolve and may be subject to change in response to the latest innovations, research, and industry developments.

Certification

Delegates completing this course will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, recognised by both the IHE and CIHT.

Course Fee

The fee for this course is £720 + VAT per person, which includes all costs (course notes, certification etc.). In the event you have a group to train, it may be more cost effective for us to come and deliver the course in-house at your offices. To receive a quotation, please complete a request here.

Statistics for Road Safety

Course Overview

A one-day course to introduce delegates to some simple statistical techniques that can be used to assist in defining road safety problems. This course is suitable for anyone working in collision investigation, traffic management or road safety and wants to gain an understanding of analytical techniques or revise their statistical knowledge and experience.

Topics Covered

  • Calculating Collision Rates
  • Control Data
  • Are sudden increases in collision numbers statistically significant
  • Regression to Mean
  • Before and After study statistics
  • Statistical Significance
  • Poisson and Chi2 testing
  • Practical Examples

Aims and Objectives

The aim of this course is to give delegates confidence in the use of statistical techniques, as part of their role in investigating road safety problems. The course looks at statistics from a practical, rather than theoretical, point of view, and delegates will have the opportunity to work through a series of scenarios from first principles, using appropriate statistics to help them determine whether risk has changed, or whether risk is different from expected levels.

Certification

Delegates completing this course will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, recognised by both the IHE and CIHT.

Course Fee

The fee for this course is £395 + VAT per person, which includes all costs (course notes, certification etc.).

Having limited experience using statistics I found this course very useful.  I will now go on to broaden my knowledge and use within my workplace.  Excellent delivery! Instructor was very clear and patient!

Tactile Paving

Course Overview

A half-day training course aimed at local authority officers, highway scheme designers, and other practitioners who design or review designs of highway schemes that incorporate tactile paving or features that could present hazards or obstructions to highway users with sight impairment.

The course covers the purposes of tactile paving, the different types of tactile paving and the correct application in the context of highway schemes, with reference to the current DfT guidance. The course also provides illustrated examples of the correct application, as well as some common problems and errors of application.

Topics Covered

  • Background / origin of tactile paving
  • Purposes of tactile paving
  • Current guidance documents and standard specification
  • Different types of tactile paving
  • Typical problems and errors

Certification

Delegates completing this course will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, recognised by both the IHE and CIHT.

Course Fee

The fee for this course is £200 + VAT per person, which includes all costs (course notes, certification etc.).
