Richard Tay's Contribution to Road Safety

Dr. Richard Tay, the AMA/CTEP Chair in Road Safety of the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary, is impacting the safety of roads locally, provincially, nationally and internationally on three fronts: 1. research on various subjects related to road safety, such as road user behaviour, vehicle safety, roadside infrastructure, traffic enforcement, and signage and advertising; 2. road safety education for the engineers of tomorrow; and, 3. advocacy. In September 2004, after a worldwide search to find an internationally renowned, senior researcher who had established an outstanding reputation in the area of road safety, Dr. Tay was appointed as the AMA/CTEP Chair in Road Safety at the University of Calgary. Dr. Tay was nominated for the TAC 2008 Road Safety Engineering Award.
