Model Kematian Jalan Raya di Malaysia: Unjuran Tahun 2000

Traffic accidents are one of the main causes of deaths in Malaysia. To address this problem, a Cabinet Committee on Traffic Safety was established by the Prime Minister and a target of reducing fatalities by 30% by the year 2000 was set up. This paper presents a more realistic approach on determining the above set objective. A fatality model based on time series log-linear model was established to explain the relationship between traffic deaths and traffic exposures, namely population, vehicles and road length. The effect of the change in recoding system was also included in this analysis

The Distribution of Service Time at Bangi, Kajang, Sungai Besi and Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Closed System Toll Plazas

The driver's service time at Bangi, Kajang, Sungai Besi and Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM) closed system toll plazas was studied. A preliminary analysis was made to see if different days as well as different booths are homogenous with respect to service time. The goodness of fit test was used to determine the distribution of the service time. The results of the study show that there is no significant difference between days and booths with respect to service time. The distribution of service time for the four plazas was found to be a log-normal. The estimated,values of the mean service time at Bangi, Kajang, Sungai Besi and Universiti Pertanian Malaysia toll plazas are 13.87, 10.07, 13.87 and 7.32 seconds, respectively. This information is an important input in evaluating and improving the transportation system designed. Appropriate measures can be taken to ensure a more efficient toll plaza system in this country

Model Diagnosis dan Rawatan Kemalangan Jalan Raya di Malaysia

Absence of an information analysis system and a proper accident investigation framework have been the stumbling blocks in the investigation, evaluation and monitoring of accident problems in Malaysia. This paper presents the information system developed and provides the accident treatment model for implementation throughout Malaysia. Two police districts, Seremban and Shah Alam were chosen as a test case in this National Safety Council Pilot Project. Accident data are based on a police form POL27 (Pind 1/91) designed to enable processing and analysis using a customised microcomputer accident analysis package (MAAP). The system enables a thorough analysis of certain cases particularly on black spots. A dangerous location identification system based on accident maps, link-node-cell system and coordinates was used in the urban areas, while a kilometer post system was used for the rural highways. In-depth analysis on black spots could be achieved by means of a stick and collision diagram. This would enable diagnosis of actual causes of accidents at a problem location to be done expeditiously, more easily and more accurately so tha

A GIS Support System for Road Safety Analysis and Management

In diagnosing the cause traffic accidents, traffic engineers, planners and decision makers often need as much information as possible before deciding the appropriate countermeasure. In road safety analysis apart from producing the most accurate prediction from statistical figures, the need to visualize information geographically i always essential. This paper describes the implementation of SMKJ2, the method used to provide multiple ways of visualising accident data based on certain set of criteria, and the plan to incorporate multiple experts and knowledge base in to the system. The project, presently confined to the area of Seremban City Council of Negeri Sembilan, has been carried out in collaboration with The Royal Malaysian Police and The Road Safety Council

Establishing Speed-Flow-Density relationships for exclusive motorcycle lanes.

The motorcycle is a popular mode of transport in Malaysia and developing Asian countries, but its significant representation in the traffic mix results in high rates of motorcycle accidents. As a result, the Malaysian Government decided to segregate motorcycle traffic along its new federal roads as an engineering approach to reduce accidents. However, traffic engineers needed to know the maximum traffic a motorcycle lane could accommodate. Despite substantial literature related to speed–flow–density relationships and capacities of various transport facilities, there is a knowledge gap regarding motorcycle lanes. This paper establishes motorcycle speed–flow–density relationships and capacities of exclusive motorcycle lanes in Malaysia. Observations of motorcycle flows and speeds were conducted along existing and experimental motorcycle lanes. Motorcycle speed–density data were aggregated and plotted for two types of observable motorcycle riding behaviour patterns that were influenced by the widths of a motorcycle lane: the headway pattern (lane width ≤ 1.7 m) and the space pattern (lane width > 1.7 m). For both riding patterns, regression analysis of motorcycle speed–density data best fits the logarithmic model and consequently the motorcycle flow–density and speed–flow models are derived. Motorcycle lane capacities for headway and space riding patterns are estimated as 3300 mc/hr/lane and 2200 mc/hr/m, respectively

Impact of the effect of economic crisis and the targeted motorcycle safety programme on motorcycle-related accidents, injuries and fatalities in Malaysia

In 1997, a Motorcycle Safety Programme (MSP) was introduced to address the motorcycle-related accident problem. The MSP was specifically targeted at motorcyclists. In addition to the MSP, the recent economic recession has significantly contributed to a reduction of traffic-related incidents. This paper examines the effects of the recent economic crisis and the MSP on motorcycle-related accidents, casualties and fatalities in Malaysia. The autocorrelation integrated moving average model with transfer function was used to evaluate the overall effects of the interventions. The variables used in developing the model were gross domestic product and MSPs. The analysis found a 25% reduction in the number of motorcycle-related accidents, a 27% reduction in motorcycle casualties and a 38% reduction in motorcycle fatalities after the implementation of MSP. Findings indicate that the MSP has been one of the effective measures in reducing motorcycle safety problems in Malaysia. Apart from that, the performance of the country's economy was also found to be significant in explaining the number of motorcycle-related accidents, casualties and fatalities in Malaysia

Modelling of conspicuity-related motorcycle accidents in Seremban and Shah Alam, Malaysia

Preliminary analysis of the short-term impact of a running headlights intervention revealed that there has been a significant drop in conspicuity-related motorcycle accidents in the pilot areas, Seremban and Shah Alam, Malaysia. This paper attempts to look in more detail at conspicuity-related accidents involving motorcycles. The aim of the analysis was to establish a statistical model to describe the relationship between the frequency of conspicuity-related motorcycle accidents and a range of explanatory variables so that new insights can be obtained into the effects of introducing a running headlight campaign and regulation. The exogenous variables in this analysis include the influence of time trends, changes in the recording and analysis system, the effect of fasting activities during Ramadhan and the “Balik Kampong” culture, a seasonal cultural-religious holiday activity unique to Malaysia. The model developed revealed that the running headlight intervention reduced the conspicuity-related motorcycle accidents by about 29%. It is concluded that the intervention has been successful in improving conspicuity-related motorcycle accidents in Malaysia
