Belgian Institute for Road Safety (BRSI)

Belgium | Association

The Belgian Road Safety Institute (BRSI) is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to improve road safety in Belgium through awareness raising activities, research, data collection, policy recommendations and services to third parties.

The BRSI is chaired by the Belgian State Secretary for Mobility and has 150 employees.

Its activities cover the three road safety factors: the road user, the vehicle and the infrastructure.

Kohustus

1) We will annually organise a Road Safety Day in Belgium involving all our partners and stakeholders where we will grant a safety award to a company, a city... for their road safety initiative.

2) We will strengthen the facilitator role of the BRSI – as a body for consultation and coordination between different actors in the field of road safety, at the federal, regional, provincial, local and municipal level – in all areas related to road safety, and we will make this our top priority.

3) We will organise training on the new features of the road traffic law for BRSI staff and encourage them to apply defensive driving behaviour both in professional and in private transport.
