  1. Ensuring safer road infrastructure: Role of engagement and capacity building Prof. Dr. Ahmad Farhan Sadullah Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) Malaysia Buenos Aires, 9 – 11th May 2011

  2. CONTENTS • The safe system approach • The role of infrastructure • Learning from the past – the Malaysian 2006 – 2010 Road Safety Plans • The new approach – the Malaysian Road Safety Plan for 2011 – 2020 • The role of engagement and capacity building

  3. The Safe System Approach • States that “An accident may happen, but it need not result in fatalities and injuries” • There are differences between • Causing an accident - predominantly user • The impact of an accident – vehicle and road factors become more significant

  4. THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH • Social Costs • Final Outcomes • Intermediate Outcomes • Outputs • User, Vehicle and Road/Environment • Pre-, during and post-crash • Results Focus • Coordination • Legislation • Funding and Resource Allocation • Monitoring and Evaluation • Research and Development • Knowledge Transfer

  5. Malaysia’s Pre 2011Integrated Road Safety Approach

  6. ROAD SAFETY PLAN OF MALAYSIA 2006 - 2010

  7. WE HAD A TARGET?

  8. Malaysia Fatalities Index, 1979-2009

  9. Malaysia Ranking as compared to the world

  10. Fatality Index per 10,000 registered vehicles by country Source: WHO, 2009. Global status report on road safety

  11. Source: WHO, 2009. Global status report on road safety

  12. Fatalities Trend According to Age of Victim

  13. 9 STRATEGIES FOR THE 2006 – 2010 ROAD SAFETY PLAN

  14. 3. Enhance and complement engineering initiatives • Standards and regulations evaluation programmes • More encompassing road safety audit programmes • Motorcycle lane development programmes • Road safety devices/product performance development programme • Vehicle safety performance evaluation programme

  15. 6. Focus on other critical gaps • Inter-agency road safety programmes management and coordination • Inter-agency integration programme for crash investigation data • Emergency programmes to assist road safety victims • Road safety research programme • Accident data costing • Programmes promoting improvement of vehicle safety standards and use of safety devices • Crash investigation programmes

  16. WHY??? WE DID NOT ACHIEVE OUR TARGETS!

  17. OUR MAJOR INTERVENTIONS TO ACHIEVE OUR TARGETS

  18. Strategic Road Safety Intervention and Potential Fatality Reduction 2007 - 2010 Source: MIROS PLANNED EMPIRICAL TARGETS

  19. INTERVENTIONS NOT GIVING US RESULTS MOST APPARENT CAUSE

  20. WHAT WENT WRONG? • We may have the interventions • The loop is not closed when • The interventions are not implemented • The interventions are implemented but are not giving us the outcome and possible causes are related to: • Regulation framework • Wrong business model • Ineffective plan • Ineffective implementers • Inadequate capacity • Resistant from players and stakeholders and others

  21. Causes of not meeting our targets:Situational analysis • We did not have an implementation plan • We did not have a monitoring mechanism • Did we have an engagement plan for ownership? • Were we too much centralised-based, and not enough local-based strategies? • Poor coordination for implementation and monitoring (no continuous monitoring) • Monitoring programme not sound • Prevailing integrity issues • Inter-agency problems

  22. LESSONS LEARNED THE 2011 – 2020MALAYSIAN ROAD SAFETY PLAN

  23. FRAMEWORK FOR THE 2011 – 2020 ROAD SAFETY PLAN ROAD SAFETY PROGRAMMES AND INTERVENTIONS

  24. SECTORAL RESPONSIBILITIES • Institutional • Safer Mobility and Roads • Safer Vehicles • Safer Road User • Post Crash Management • Safer Public Transport THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGEMENT

  25. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Sectoral heads – to provide ownership and leadership • Implementation plan with time schedule and milestones • Introduction of performance measures, KPI • Backed with periodic evaluation and research

  26. SECTORAL HEADS

  27. SECTORAL HEADS

  28. CAPACITY BUILDING • To support the outcome-based system • Agencies and players must appreciate KPI and performance based analysis • The importance of data • The importance of strategic thinking, innovation, creativity and research • To support the implementation of interventions • Technical capability (subject matter) • Administrative capability (management matter) • Evaluation and monitoring • Continuous quality improvement
