Beskrivning

This book is a Festschrift for Professor Dinesh Mohan. The book presents select proceedings of the Dinesh Mohan Memorial Symposium organised by the Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, in September, 2022. The over-arching theme of “the right to safety by design” of thevulnerable in today’s urban society is the core concern of this book; sustainable transportation, built-form, and clean air are the main concerns that are intrinsically related to this central theme. The promotion of active transport has multiple health issues like cleaner air; integrated infrastructure in urban areas with an emphasis on bicycling and walking in conjunction with public transport; traffic calming; and equity in the community design with an increase in actual and perceived safety and an improvement in the environment. The book highlights the need of policy makers to address the complexities involved in ensuring safe, sustainable urban mobility for all. It provides guidance to researchers to explore the structural and systemic causes of problems in urban mobility and address them through engineering and design. This book provides a reference text for researchers in the area of urban transport, road safety, sustainable urbanisation, transport and health, public transport, environment, and pollution.

She completed her Master of Urban Planning and Policy and her doctoratein Transport Planning from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She hasreceived the degree of Doctor of Technology Honoris Causa from the ChalmersUniversity of Technology, Sweden, in 2012. Her research focus includes trafficand transport planning and traffic safety focusing on pedestrians, bicycles,bus systems, and highway safety. She is an editor-in-chief of the InternationalJournal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion since 2009. She is the chairperson of theBIS, SSD01(Bureau of Indian Standards, Service Sector Division) committee since2020.Mathew Varghese, MBBS, MS , is an orthopaedic surgeon at the St. Stephen’s Hospital, Delhi, since1990. He served as the director of St Stephen’s Hospital from 1999–2006. He hasbeen the executive committee member and governing council member, Christian MedicalCollege, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. He holds the position of HonoraryDirector for Cure Club Foot International India Trust (CIIT), an organisationpreventing disability from clubfoot, one of the commonest orthopaedic birthdefects. He is scientific advisor to a Niti Aayog project on emergency care: “ACountry Level Assessment of Current Status of Emergency and Injury Care atSecondary and Tertiary Level Centres in India” since May 2019. He was awarded the “Vishishta ChkitsaRatan Award” by the Delhi Medical Association, 2018; Distinguished TeacherAward by the Association of National Board of Examination Institutions August2019; the Guildal Memorial Lecture by the Danish Orthopaedic Society in October2019.Kavi Bhalla, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences ofthe Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago and affiliatedfaculty at the Harris School of Public Policy. His research aims todevelop transport systems that are safe, sustainable, and equitable, with acentral focus on road safetyin low- and middle-income countries. His recentwork has focused on the development of analytical tools for improving estimatesof the incidence of injuries in information-poor settings using the availabledata sources and the evaluation of road safety interventions. He co-led theInjury Expert Group of the 2010 Global Burden of Disease Project. He isformally trained as a mechanical engineer and his Ph.D. (Cornell, 2001) thesisresearch focused on the mechanics of material failure, which he later appliedto the study of injury biomechanics and vehicle crashworthiness.
