Описание: This report prepared by an Asia–Pacific Road Safety Observatory (APRSO) taskforce analyzes how improving crash and accident data collection can better protect lives on the region's roads.It looks at the type of data countries should prioritize and explains why bolstering data quality would help reach targets of halving road injuries and deaths. APRSO recommends collecting aggregated data to analyze trends and set strategic priorities. In presenting a sample questionnaire for countries, it shows that generating robust data and analysis is key to improving actions and policies on road safety for the region.

Описание: This book discusses the use of communication campaigns to promote road safety, arguing that they need to elicit public discourse on issues pertaining to culture, equity, gender, workplace norms, environmental issues, and social solidarity. Increasingly, new media channels and formats are employed in the dissemination process, making road safety-related messages ubiquitous, and often controversial. Policy makers, educators, researchers, and the public continue to debate the utility and morality of some of the influence tactics employed in these messages, such as the use of graphic images of injury or death, stigmatization (or "blame and shame"), and the use of "black humor." Guttman argues that influencing road safety requires making changes in normative and cultural conceptions of broader issues in society, yet the typical discourse on road safety tends to focus on individual attitudes and practices. The book highlights the importance of social and behavioral theory in communication campaigns on road safety, and critiques the tendency to focus on individual cognition, affect, and risk conceptions rather than on normative, structural, and cultural factors. The volume positions the discourse on road safety as a social issue, and treats road safety behavior as a social activity that directly relates to other public issues, social values, and social policy, while discussing potential uses of social media and participatory approaches. The discussion turns to the role of road safety communication campaigns as part of a democratic process of eliciting public discourse, including how contemporary society could address broader issues of risk and safety.

Описание: This manual focuses on the provision of safer pedestrian facilities in Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries, particularly on the physical road infrastructure.
It also outlines proven facilities that have been shown to assist pedestrians including those in the high-risk groups. Aimed at engineers, project managers, planners, traffic police, and other decision-makers, the manual shows how wise investment in pedestrian facilities can save lives, prevent injuries, and return major economic benefits to CAREC countries.
Описание: This study analyzes the use of motorcycles in Metro Manila with the aim of informing government policy related to road safety and transport planning.
Motorcycles are increasingly being used for daily commutes as well to provide logistics services. The study explores the various drivers, characteristics, and implications of increased motorcycle use. Taking into account these implications, it presents a policy framework to reduce motorcycle-related crashes and suggests that the Public Service Act be reviewed and amended as appropriate to recognize motorcycles as a primary mode of transport.

Описание: Many books focus on individual differences and how those relate to traffic safety such as accident proneness, gender differences, age, alcohol, and the effects of drugs. Others focus on the safety effects regarding the vehicle such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, navigation systems, intelligent cruise control and other new gadgets coming to the vehicle. Even though these topics are undoubtedly important for traffic safety, this book takes a unique approach as it focuses solely on the road environment. Designing Safe Road Systems provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. It uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors. This understanding will ultimately lead to road systems that prevent (fatal) errors from occurring. The book contains an overview of the current models and theories about human performance and human behaviour in traffic that are relevant for all those involved in designing safe road systems. The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.
Описание: This book covers the designing, implementation, and auditing of structured occupational health and safety management systems (SMS), sometimes referred to as safety programs. This book covers the elements and processes that constitute a SMS, the implementation process, and the auditing of the conformance to standards.
Описание: This publication explains how the 11 member countries of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program can build safer and more competitive transport corridors for people and goods.It gives an overview of each country's road network and identifies how to better collect data to bolster road asset management systems and improve planning. Highlighting the benefits of sharing best practices, the publication offers tips on how to fine-tune performance-based road maintenance contracts. It also shows that by efficiently using budgets, countries can maintain and manage vital transport arteries to help boost sustainable development in the region.
