MAr 02, 2010 (newstodate): Transport safety is on the agenda at an ongoing round-table conference in Russia involving all parties in the transportation industry as well as government institutions and members of the Russian parliament.
As stated in the conference papers, transportation is involved in 70 percent of all acts of terrorism, and considering the fact that 70 mio people and more than 33 mio tonnes of cargo are on the move in Russia each day, including all modes of transportation, there is a pertinent need for new technology and institutions to supervise and enhance safety in transportation, which will require huge investments in the coming years.
