BACKGROUND

Number of powered two-wheeled vehicles (PTW) fatalities and serious injuries is the highest in the world

Appreciation of the regional conditions needs to be enhanced

Significant work carried out by UNECE; yet more focused attention is needed

IRTE offered a vision for road safety in Southeast Asia

Coalition of Universities

NEEDS

Targets: PTW

Sustainable solutions

Evidence (data and its management)

New, innovative and practicable knowledge

Consistency with developmental goals

Capacity building

Inclusive approach (stakeholders, industry, users)

Governments’ commitment

ROAD SAFETY VISION

Contributes to policy for regional transport development

Enables sustainable transport connectivity and mobility

Considers the most vulnerable part of societies

Part of wider pro-growth and pro-transport policies

POLICY

10

slide-11
SLIDE 11

POLICY ISSUES

Clarify ownership and responsibility – very big challenge as road safety is a multi-sectoral issue (transport, health, social welfare)

Sustainability

Should include a vision, a mission, objectives and standards

Should be sensitive to road users and their local needs

Should be considered in terms of

Mobility

Economic growth and stability

Prosperity

Be based on appropriate institutional structures

11

LEGAL AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Infrastructure Considerations

Road Users

Rider Training

Licences (Full driving, provisional/probationary)and permits

Insurance

Safety apparel

Helmet use regulations

Public Health Approach to PTWs’ Safety

Post-Crash Management

Vehicle Standards

12

slide-13
SLIDE 13

SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS

Recognise the role of PTW in the transport system

  • f developing countries

Recognise the role of PTW in both urban and rural areas

Clarify the economic benefits of PTW transport

Recognise the vulnerability of PTW

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

ETHICS AND FINANCING

Recognise explicitly that human life is priceless

Associate PTW policy with a code of Ethics

Appropriate financing is necessary for the successful implementation of PTW safety

Explore new and innovative financing mechanisms such as 2nd generation road safety funds and social impact bonds

SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH

Road Users Vehicles Infrastructure

SLIDE 17

ROAD USERS

17

slide-18
SLIDE 18

PTW AS ROAD USERS

Policy should consider riders issues such as

No lane discipline

Bus lane intrusion

Conglomeration of ahead of the stop line

Overloading of the vehicle with goods or passengers

Distracting activities such as mobile phone usage

Inconspicuity

Safety apparel

18

slide-19
SLIDE 19

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES USING PTW

Policy should concern

Taxi services

Carriers who deliver goods

Should be regulated or licenced

Drivers skills and character should be

  • f good standing

19

slide-20
SLIDE 20

PTW RIDERS AND OTHER ROAD USERS

Policy should seek to modify behavioural change towards PTW - challenging

A pragmatic approach is needed to address social, cultural and religious habits

PTW road safety campaigns can be used

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

INFRASTRUCTURE

PTW are relatively unstable vehicles and vulnerable

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

ROAD DESIGN

Policy should ensure that

Design standards should be based on

predictable road geometry

appropriate visibility

constant radii and

  • bstacle free zones

appropriate parking areas

Road safety audits are included in design and maintenance activities

PTW friendly safety features

22

slide-23
SLIDE 23

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING

Policy should require

the use of sound traffic engineering principles in any decision making process.

empirical practices to be supported by theoretical concepts

the use of evidence (data) in a systematic manner

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

ROAD MAINTENANCE

Policy should require

Minimum maintenance programmes addressing PTW safety (e.g. routine maintenance) black spots

Addressing black spots, uneven surfaces, drainage features, road markings, road features aimed at large vehicles.

Use of standards

24

slide-25
SLIDE 25

ROAD DEMAND MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION

Policy should address the maximisation of road space utilisation through appropriate demand management approaches such as

motorcycle exclusive lanes,

advanced stop lines/zones,

channelization using painted road markings,

control of longitudinal and lateral distances,

speed management (through enforcement and information and use of appropriate speed limits (e.g. 30 km/h).

segregated lanes

separate supplementary signs

25

slide-26
SLIDE 26

VEHICLES

PTWs or any modifications should adhere to standards and regulations

26

slide-27
SLIDE 27

STANDARDS, REGULATIONS AND DESIGN

Policy should

Reflect local transport needs of people and goods

Require and enforce safety standards and regulations

Encourage collaboration between manufacturers, practitioners, policy-makers and the research community to enable PTW design to evolve and reflect the latest advances which help to mitigate safety concerns.

27

slide-28
SLIDE 28

PTW DEATH AND INJURY MITIGATION

Helmets, other safety apparel, medical care

28

slide-29
SLIDE 29

HELMETS AND OTHER SAFETY APPAREL

Policy should enforce

the use of helmets, as a minimum

  • ther protective gear such as gloves and boots together with

jackets and trousers using appropriate materials available locally

Helmet standards should be

clearly defined

standardized and harmonized

adapted, as necessary, to local conditions

29

slide-30
SLIDE 30

MEDICAL CARE

Policy should address the need for

expeditious medical care at the crash site by appropriately trained staff

a PTW dedicated register of injuries and outcomes at trauma centres

linking injury data with public health policy development

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31

TRAINING

31

slide-32
SLIDE 32

TRAINING AND TESTING STANDARDS

They should cover:

The vehicles that can be driven

Who can drive them

When and where they can be driven

The processes to achieve all of the above

32

slide-33
SLIDE 33

TRAINING AND TESTING SYSTEM KEY COMPONENTS

Realistic grouping of vehicles

Administrative arrangements for the system

Minimum age for entitlement

A competence framework addressing the needs for a safe and responsible driver and rider

An associated set of standards for:

the characteristics of a safe and responsible driver and rider

the content of training

the trainers who deliver it

Operating procedures and standards for driving examiners

What happens after the test – penalties, post-test or remedial development, restrictions

33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

DATA MANAGEMENT

34

slide-35
SLIDE 35

DATA MANAGEMENT

PTW policy should clearly address the need for data.

Data should enable decision making for

strategic planning and

implementation, operations and evaluation

Data for PTW should be collected for

accident investigation and

injury causation

Crash data should be standardized.

PTW policy should be linked to key performance indicators derived from accident and injury data
