Keynote

Henk Stipdonk

The Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis (KiM)

Henk Stipdonk (1957, Leiden, the Netherlands) is Director of The Netherlands Knowledge Institute for transport policy analysis (KiM) since 2019. KiM is an independent scientific research institute of the Dutch Ministry of transport and water management. With 25 researchers, KiM analyses and gathers facts of (Dutch) traffic and transport trends, developments and behavior of all modes, both goods and persons.

Between 2004 and 2019, Henk was a research manager at the Institute for Road Safety Research SWOV. His department focused on quantitative analyses, data quality, in depth crash research and the development of models describing the annual number of road deaths trend, based on road death data, travel data and risk (deaths per distance travelled) models.

Henk obtained his PhD in 2013 on the thesis ‘Road safety in bits and pieces‘. The thesis describes that understanding road safety trends requires stratification of crashes by travel mode, age group and possibly other relevant factors.

Henk’s international work includes visits to Cambodia, Kenia, Ghana, Cameroon and many European countries, where he gave lectures and contributed to road safety courses. He has participated in numerous international integrated projects for the EU. Currently he is co-chair of the PIN-panel of the ETSC, and chair of the ITF Working Group on Implementing the Safe System.

Before being with SWOV, Henk studied physics in Leiden, was trained as a professional teacher and worked for 15 years at the Dutch Road and Inland Waterway Authority ‘Rijkswaterstaat‘.
