  1. IRAP IN MALAYSIA: From Plan to Action Prof. Dr. Ahmad Farhan Sadullah MIROS GRSP/IRAP Asia Road Safety Seminar 7th October 2009

  2. CONTENT • IRAP in Malaysia – the beginning • The IRAP Pilot Project • A period of abeyance – a case of closing the loop • Moving forward and challenges ahead • Lessons learned

  3. iRAP Process Define the road network where fatal and serious injuries are likely to be concentrated Inspect the road and map the safety quality Output: Star rating map Appraise investment options and recommend high-return countermeasure programme Output: Countermeasure programmes Local examination of proposed countermeasure programme Detailed design, costing, implementation and evaluation studies Output: Evaluation reports

  4. Malaysia – Road Safety Facts • 18 fatalities per day • 6,282 deaths in 2007 • 6,527 deaths in 2008 • 23.5 fatalities per 100,000 population in 2008 • 3.63 fatalities per 10,000 vehicles in 2008 • Cost of crashes RM 9 billion • 2-3% of GDP

  5. iRAP in Malaysia Safer Roads A team approach

  6. iRAP Malaysia Pilot Project History • August 2006 – Commencement workshop and trial inspections • March 2007 – Survey launch and inspections • April 2007 – Video Rating • November 2007 – Preliminary results • March 2008 – Draft Report ready • Sept 2009 …….Final Report launch • …………………Implementation

  7. iRAP Malaysia Summary • 3,700 kilometres of Peninsular Malaysia assessed • 3 camera GPS-linked video system • Images assessed every 100m • Media activities in every state

  8. Top 7 Countermeasures

  9. Investment Summary • 3,700 km of road inspected (5% of network) • RM550 million initial investment • Save 2,900 lives and 29,000 serious injuries (20 years) • 32% reduction in road trauma • Program BCR of 16:1 2,900 lives saved

  10. CLOSING THE LOOP • From March 2008 – a lull period • What had happened • Pilot study had finished with recommendations for countermeasures and further assessment • Small-scale interactions with and guidance from iRAP continued • Steering Committee for iRAP was handed over to JKR • What were pending? • The launch of iRAP Pilot Project Report • The decision to implement the counter-measures • The decision to continue with full iRAP

  11. CLOSING OF THE LOOP ANALYSIS • Track the history • Early motivation • Early ownership and roles • Early plans • Analyse • What went wrong • What gaps existed • Recommendations • Correct what went wrong/reasons for delay • Put up a plan • Start nudging

  12. IDENTIFIED ISSUES

  13. PLANS 1) Countermeasure implementation support 2) Extension of survey    - JKR will take the lead in terms of funding and equipments.    - MIROS will take lead to train JKR staff on the rating process. 3) Global road safety studies    - Develop university compliant training materials to support the extension surveys in Malaysia.

  14. Immediate Recommendations • Provide an immediate budget of RM50 million in 2009/2010. • Fund the implementation of a demonstration corridor (e.g. F5 Motorcycle lane +++). • Fund quick to implement simple upgrades across the nation (e.g. delineation). • Fund planning and preparation studies for 2011 program.

  15. 10th Malaysia Plan – 2011 - 2015 • Provide an annual budget allocation of RM500 million in the 10th Malaysia Plan. • Fund current iRAP recommendations in 2011/2012. • Fund extension of the iRAP surveys to remaining national network and high risk state roads. • Fund further implementation 2013-2015. • Include support for established black-spot and black-length priorities.

  16. ANOTHER MAJOR MILESTONE • Launch of the iRAP Malaysia Pilot Report – 29.9.09
