devices/features.
➢ Difficulty for individual OEM/supplier to make comprehensive Safe Systemrecommendations due to the limited knowledge/competencies➢ Learn from previous Safety Actions and its effectivenessand more…
➢ Goal➢ To study possible measures to halve the number of road traffic fatalities by 2030 as a Safe
System with a wide range of stakeholders and to propose them to ASEAN
countries/communities.

Conclusions of the Pilot Study■Results obtained from pilot study•••

Specific locations where each risk increases could be identified.
The location of risk is different in each intersection.
Dangerous riding scenes can be visualized and recorded.

■What this analysis did not show••••••

Detailed video observation and analysisFrom short time shooting of action
camera to update to CCTV long time
recording

How does intersection infrastructure structure affect ridership?
What exactly happens on high-risk scene?
What is the typical behavior of riders through intersections?
What are the typical avoidance behaviors of riders when hazards
occur?
What are the typical accident risks observed at Malaysianintersections?
What countermeasures can be taken to address the above?
Acquire sensor data of two-wheeled vehicles
around intersections and analyze on theinfrastructure side and the rider sideINTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
