Introduction
The Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme(TRIPP) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, and St. Stephen's Hospital, Delhi are  organizing an International Course on Transportation Planning and Safety.  The course will be held in New Delhi, India, from 05-13 December 2005, and TRIPP, IIT Delhi will be the host institution.

Course Objectives
This seven day Course will bring together professionals working in the area of transportation planning and safety promotion, biomechanics of impact and vehicle crashworthiness, trauma and prehospital care, and acquaint them with state-of-the-art information.  The course is especially designed for an interdisciplinary audience of traffic and road engineers, behavioural scientists, mechanical and automotive engineers, law enforcers, and police officers.  The contents of the course are focused to give a global perspective to the road safety problem.  The course will have a common component for the first three days, followed by three parallel sessions on Traffic Safety, Biomechanics and Trauma and Prehospital Care in the next three days.

By the end of the Course the participants should:

1. know about the latest findings in methodologies for traffic planning prevention of traffic accident and injuries and current advances in vehicle crashworthiness and restraint systems
2. be aware of policies and methods which have been shown to be successful or have not worked in the past
3. be able to improve or start their own programmes on traffic planning and road safety.

Participants
The Course will have a limited number of participants who must be fluent in English. The participants will be selected on the basis of their involvement in transportation planning and road safety research, involvement in policy making and implementation of safety measures.  An attempt will be made to have a balanced mix of engineers, law enforcers, social scientists and medical professionals.

Participating Institutions
Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme(TRIPP), Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.
The faculty members associated with TRIPP have been involved in safety research for the past two decades.  The Institute has been designated as the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Safety Technology.  The members of TRIPP have expertise in epidemiological studies, designs of vehicles and safety equipment, traffic flow modelling, transportation planning and care of injured persons.

St. Stephen's Hospital, Delhi, India St. Stephen's Hospital, a 600 bedded hospital, is the oldest and largest non-Government hospital in Delhi. It is also a post-graduate training hospital in multiple specialities.  St. Stephen's Hosptial collaborates with TRIPP, IIT Delhi on research issues concerning prehospital care, epidemiology of injuries, tissue biomechanics and injury mechanisms.
