Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a critical public health issue in Jordan, as highlighted in the 2022 Annual Report of Traffic Accidents from the Jordan Public Security Directorate. With 169,409 crashes recorded in 2022, resulting in 562 deaths and 11,510 injuries, RTIs have emerged as the leading cause of death for children and young people, and the second-leading cause for adults aged 20–64.
This analytical research study aims to understand RTI-induced disabilities in Jordan, identify contributing factors, and assess the associated costs for road traffic crash victims. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research included quantitative and qualitative data collection through hospital-based surveillance and follow-up surveys at one- and three months post-injury. The study involved six public and private hospitals across Jordan. Key informant interviews with stakeholders from various sectors were conducted to gain comprehensive insights.
The study's findings reveal that most RTI patients were male (79%) with an average age of 34 years. Crashes predominantly occurred during early mornings and night hours, involving mainly cars (72%) and motorcycles/bicycles (40%). A significant number of patients (74%) received prehospital care, primarily from ambulance staff. Most patients (66%) were fully conscious upon arrival at the emergency room.
Injury analysis showed that 58% of patients had a single injury, with extremities being the most affected area. Financially, 49% of patients incurred immediate costs upon hospital admission, and follow-up care also resulted in out-of-pocket expenses, particularly for physiotherapy and medications.
The study indicated that 79% of patients experienced some disability at the one-month follow-up, with varying degrees from mild to extreme. By the third month, 73% reported no disability, though 26% continued to experience mild impairments.
This study underscores the significant burden of RTIs and associated disabilities in Jordan, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce injuries and robust long-term care to support affected individuals.
This Road Safety Management Capacity Assessment (RSMCA) seeks to gain a broad understanding of the Government of Vanuatu's road safety management capacity to support its plans to improve road safety outcomes throughout the country. The RSMCA follows the seven critical road safety institutional management functions (Bliss and Breen 2013) to identify key challenges and provide recommendations for improvement in road safety management, and similarly addresses the Safe System pillars for the interventions level. The seven institutional management functions include: results focus, coordination, legislation, finance and resource allocation, promotion and advocacy, monitoring and evaluation, and research and development of knowledge transfer.
The Safe System pillars include road safety management, safe roads and mobility, safe vehicles, safe road users, post-crash care, and safe speeds. The RSMCA’s alignment with both the road safety institutional management functions and the Safe System Approach in turn aims to help the Government of Vanuatu to prioritize targeted next steps to address road crash death and serious injury in the country.
Road safety is a major public health issue in Cambodia. Reducing the number of road crashes is a priority for the government. Accurate data are needed to design the most effective interventions. Improving the current crash data system will furnish a more comprehensive picture of critical road safety issues in Cambodia and provide the basis for developing policies to save more lives.
In the framework of the development of the Asia Pacific Road Safety Observatory (APRSO), the World Bank and the International Transport Forum (ITF), with the support of the Cambodian Government, initiated a project aimed at assessing the crash data system in Cambodia and developing a road map for strengthening this system.
This project follows up on a previous twinning project between Cambodia and the Netherlands, undertaken in the framework of the International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD) group of ITF in 2010-2014. That project concerned both a review of the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS), and training and support to develop a national road safety strategy and related indicators.
The current project started in 2019 and was carried out by the World Bank and the ITF, with support from the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) and UK AID. The Dutch Road Safety Research Institute, SWOV, was contracted by the ITF to lead the review.
This report provides conclusions and recommendations on the basis of the data review mission undertaken in December 2019.
This Road Safety Management Capacity Assessment (RSMCA) seeks to gain a broad understanding of the Solomon Island Government road safety management capacity in order to support the country's development of a national strategy and plan of action to improve road safety outcomes, and subsequently implement those actions effectively.
The RSMCA follows the seven critical road safety institutional management functions (Bliss and Breen 2013) to identify key challenges and provide recommendations for improvement in road safety management, and similarly addresses the Safe System pillars for the interventions level. The seven institutional management functions include: results focus; coordination; legislation; finance and resource allocation; promotion and advocacy; monitoring and evaluation, and research and development of knowledge transfer.
The Safe System pillars include road safety management; safe roads and mobility; safe vehicles; safe road users, post-crash care; and safe speeds. As such, the RSMCA outlines key findings and recommendations relating to both the road safety institutional management functions within the Solomon Islands, and the Safe System Approach, whilst also identifying targeted priority next steps to address road crash death and serious injury in the country.
The Road Safety Management Capacity Assessment (RSMCA) is an activity within a broader Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA), which aims to gain a holistic and thorough understanding of the road safety management capacity of three selected Pacific Island Countries (PICs)—Samoa, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu—in order to support their respective governments to develop national strategies and plans of action to improve road safety outcomes, with a focus on crash data management. The ASA will also support a pilot of the World Bank’s Data for Road Incident Visualization, Evaluation, and Reporting (DRIVER) road crash database in Samoa and provide hands on capacity building in crash analysis.
The ASA is being funded by a Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) grant from the United Kingdom Agency for International Development (UK AID). The GRSF grant will help the Government of Samoa (GoS) to have a clear image of their road safety situation, risks and challenges, and further on to establish the basis for a national crash database. To ensure sustainability through capacity building and awareness-raising activities, knowledge will be shared with local stakeholders.
The key objectives of this ASA are as follows:
An auxiliary objective is to build capacity to use crash data to identify problems and implement road safety evidence-based measures in Samoa. Furthermore, given the negative impacts of severe weather events on road safety, which will be further exacerbated by climate change, the ASA will help to address the way that road safety is managed in the face of climate change, by training police officers to gain better skills in crash investigation.
The results from the DRIVER pilot in Samoa will be shared with counterparts in selected other PICs, with the aim of scaling up the system across the region. Only with accurate data can road safety be effectively managed and improved, and results measured. In support of this, as of October 2019, the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (World Bank 2019) calls for road safety to be considered on all World Bank-funded projects.
The World Bank is also currently providing assistance to the road sector in Samoa through several projects, including the Samoa Climate Resilient Transport Project (SCRTP), which commenced in 2018. SCRTP will support the GoS to improve the climate resilience of the road network and provide key assistance required to contribute towards effectively managing climate resilient and safe road sector assets. One of the sub-components of SCRTP is dedicated to establishing and operationalizing a database for recording and analyzing road crash data.
The database will combine the existing siloed data, housed in different government agencies, into a single readily accessible platform under the Ministry of Work, Transport and Infrastructure (MWTI). The system will make use of DRIVER, to be piloted through this road safety ASA. SCRTP has other sub-components and activities focused on road safety, such as Road Safety Audits for project roads, a driver licensing training pilot focusing on women, and a road safety engineering technical assistance activity. This GRSF ASA will provide crucial data and insight for the successful delivery of the road safety program under SCRTP, plus other ongoing World Bank-financed projects.
Laporan ini memperkenalkan cara kerja Pendekatan Sistem Aman, dengan fokus pada infrastruktur jalan dan praktik terbaik rekayasa keselamatan jalan dari salah satu negara dengan kinerja terbaik di Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik, Singapura.
Jalan-jalan di Singapura tidak hanya dianggap sebagai yang teraman di kawasan ini, tetapi juga termasuk yang teraman di dunia. Aturan dan regulasi manajemen keselamatan jalan yang diterapkan di negara ini telah menghasilkan langkah-langkah signifikan dalam mengelola dampak faktor tabrakan yang terkait dengan desain jalan raya, perilaku manusia, dan atribut kendaraan. Hasilnya, statistik keselamatan jalan menunjukkan bahwa jumlah kematian di jaringan jalan Singapura terus menurun selama dekade terakhir. Hal ini mendorong keinginan negara-negara tetangga untuk mengikuti contoh Singapura dan belajar dari pengalamannya.
Untuk mengurangi tabrakan yang disebabkan oleh kekurangan atau kerusakan kendaraan, salah satu langkah yang diambil di Singapura adalah memberlakukan kebijakan impor kendaraan yang ketat. Impor kendaraan diizinkan dari negara-negara yang telah mengadopsi dan mematuhi standar keselamatan kendaraan tinggi yang diakui. Kepatuhan terhadap keselamatan kendaraan secara khusus difokuskan pada 52 item yang ditetapkan oleh Otoritas Transportasi Darat (LTA). Selain standar impor kendaraan yang ketat, Singapura memberlakukan sistem kuota kendaraan yang ketat, yang mengatur jumlah kendaraan di jaringan jalan. Selain itu, kendaraan diharuskan menjalani inspeksi berkala. Mobil berusia antara 3 dan 10 tahun diharuskan menjalani inspeksi dua tahunan, dan mobil yang berusia lebih dari 10 tahun diharuskan menjalani inspeksi tahunan.
Selain itu, taksi diharuskan menjalani inspeksi setiap enam bulan. Pendidikan keselamatan jalan dan pendidikan pengemudi merupakan prinsip utama strategi keselamatan jalan Singapura. Pendidikan keselamatan jalan sebagian besar dilakukan oleh Polisi Lalu Lintas Singapura, tetapi organisasi nonpemerintah seperti Sekretariat Koordinasi Keamanan Nasional memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap pendidikan keselamatan jalan di Singapura.
Báo cáo giới thiệu cách thức hoạt động của Phương pháp tiếp cận hệ thống an toàn, tập trung vào cơ sở hạ tầng đường bộ và các biện pháp thực hành tốt nhất về kỹ thuật an toàn đường bộ từ một trong những quốc gia có thành tích tốt nhất ở Đông Nam Á và Thái Bình Dương, Singapore.
Đường bộ Singapore không chỉ được coi là an toàn nhất trong khu vực mà còn được xếp hạng là một trong những quốc gia an toàn nhất trên toàn cầu. Các quy tắc và quy định về quản lý an toàn đường bộ được thực hiện tại quốc gia này đã mang lại những bước tiến đáng kể trong việc quản lý tác động của các yếu tố va chạm liên quan đến thiết kế đường bộ, hành vi của con người và các thuộc tính của phương tiện. Do đó, số liệu thống kê về an toàn đường bộ cho thấy số ca tử vong trên mạng lưới đường bộ Singapore đã giảm đều đặn trong thập kỷ qua. Điều này dẫn đến mong muốn của các quốc gia láng giềng là noi gương Singapore và học hỏi kinh nghiệm của nước này.
Để giảm thiểu các vụ va chạm do xe không đủ tiêu chuẩn hoặc lỗi, một trong những biện pháp được thực hiện tại Singapore là thực thi chính sách nhập khẩu xe nghiêm ngặt. Xe được phép nhập khẩu từ các quốc gia đã áp dụng và tuân thủ các tiêu chuẩn an toàn xe cao được công nhận. Việc tuân thủ an toàn xe đặc biệt tập trung vào 52 mục do Cơ quan Giao thông Đường bộ (LTA) chỉ định. Ngoài các tiêu chuẩn nhập khẩu xe nghiêm ngặt, Singapore còn thực thi hệ thống hạn ngạch xe nghiêm ngặt, quy định số lượng xe trên mạng lưới đường bộ. Ngoài ra, xe phải được kiểm tra thường xuyên. Xe từ 3 đến 10 năm tuổi phải được kiểm tra hai năm một lần, và xe trên 10 năm tuổi phải được kiểm tra hàng năm.
Ngoài ra, xe taxi phải được kiểm tra sáu tháng một lần. Giáo dục an toàn giao thông và giáo dục lái xe là những nội dung cốt lõi trong chiến lược an toàn giao thông của Singapore. Giáo dục an toàn giao thông chủ yếu do Cảnh sát giao thông Singapore thực hiện, nhưng các tổ chức phi chính phủ như Ban thư ký điều phối an ninh quốc gia cũng đóng góp đáng kể vào giáo dục an toàn giao thông tại Singapore.
รายงานนี้แนะนำวิธีการทำงานของแนวทางระบบที่ปลอดภัย โดยเน้นที่โครงสร้างพื้นฐานทางถนนและแนวทางปฏิบัติที่ดีที่สุดด้านวิศวกรรมความปลอดภัยทางถนนจากหนึ่งในประเทศที่มีประสิทธิภาพสูงสุดในเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้และแปซิฟิก ซึ่งก็คือสิงคโปร์
ถนนในสิงคโปร์ไม่เพียงแต่ถือว่าปลอดภัยที่สุดในภูมิภาคเท่านั้น แต่ยังติดอันดับถนนที่ปลอดภัยที่สุดในโลกอีกด้วย กฎและข้อบังคับด้านการจัดการความปลอดภัยทางถนนที่นำมาใช้ในประเทศได้ส่งผลให้มีความก้าวหน้าอย่างมากในการจัดการผลกระทบของปัจจัยการชนที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการออกแบบถนน พฤติกรรมของมนุษย์ และคุณลักษณะของยานพาหนะ ส่งผลให้สถิติความปลอดภัยทางถนนแสดงให้เห็นว่าจำนวนผู้เสียชีวิตบนเครือข่ายถนนของสิงคโปร์ลดลงอย่างต่อเนื่องในช่วงทศวรรษที่ผ่านมา ส่งผลให้ประเทศเพื่อนบ้านมีความปรารถนาที่จะทำตามตัวอย่างของสิงคโปร์และเรียนรู้จากประสบการณ์ของประเทศ
เพื่อบรรเทาการชนที่เกิดจากความไม่เพียงพอหรือข้อบกพร่องของยานพาหนะ มาตรการอย่างหนึ่งที่ใช้ในสิงคโปร์คือการบังคับใช้นโยบายนำเข้ายานพาหนะที่เข้มงวด การนำเข้ายานพาหนะได้รับอนุญาตจากประเทศที่ได้นำมาตรฐานความปลอดภัยของยานพาหนะระดับสูงที่เป็นที่ยอมรับมาใช้และปฏิบัติตาม การปฏิบัติตามข้อกำหนดด้านความปลอดภัยของยานพาหนะนั้นเน้นเป็นพิเศษที่รายการ 52 รายการที่กำหนดโดย Land Transport Authority (LTA) นอกเหนือจากมาตรฐานการนำเข้ายานพาหนะที่เข้มงวดแล้ว สิงคโปร์ยังบังคับใช้ระบบโควตายานพาหนะที่เข้มงวด ซึ่งควบคุมจำนวนยานพาหนะในเครือข่ายถนน นอกจากนี้ ยานพาหนะยังต้องผ่านการตรวจสภาพบ่อยครั้ง รถยนต์ที่มีอายุระหว่าง 3 ถึง 10 ปีต้องผ่านการตรวจสภาพทุก ๆ สองปี และรถยนต์ที่มีอายุมากกว่า 10 ปีต้องผ่านการตรวจสภาพทุกปี
นอกจากนี้ รถแท็กซี่ต้องผ่านการตรวจสภาพทุก ๆ หกเดือน การศึกษาความปลอดภัยบนท้องถนนและการศึกษาของผู้ขับขี่ถือเป็นหลักการสำคัญของกลยุทธ์ความปลอดภัยบนท้องถนนของสิงคโปร์ การศึกษาความปลอดภัยบนท้องถนนส่วนใหญ่ดำเนินการโดยตำรวจจราจรของสิงคโปร์ แต่หน่วยงานที่ไม่ใช่ของรัฐ เช่น สำนักงานเลขานุการประสานงานด้านความมั่นคงแห่งชาติ มีส่วนสนับสนุนอย่างมากในการให้ความรู้ด้านความปลอดภัยบนท้องถนนในสิงคโปร์
The report introduces how the Safe System Approach works, with a focus on road infrastructure and road safety engineering best practices from one of the best performing countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Singapore.
Singapore roads are not only considered the safest in the region, they rank among the safest globally. Road safety management rules and regulations implemented in the country have resulted in significant strides in managing the effects of collision factors related to roadway design, human behavior, and vehicle attributes. As a result, road safety statistics have shown that fatalities on the Singapore road network have been steadily declining over the past decade. This is leading to a desire on the part of neighboring countries to follow Singapore's example and learn from its experience.
In order to mitigate collisions attributed to vehicle inadequacies or defects, one of the measures taken in Singapore was to enforce a strict vehicle import policy. Vehicle imports are permissible from countries that have adopted and comply with recognized high vehicle safety standards. Vehicle safety compliance is particularly focused on 52 items specified by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). In addition to strict vehicle import standards, Singapore enforces a strict vehicle quota system, which regulates the number of vehicles on the road network. Additionally, vehicles are required to undergo frequent inspections. Cars between 3 and 10 years old are required to have a biennial inspection, and cars older than 10 years are required to undergo annual inspections.
Furthermore, taxis are required to undergo inspections every six months. Road safety education and driver education are core tenants of Singapore's roads safety strategy. Road safety education is predominately undertaken by the Singapore Traffic Police, but nongovernmental organizations such as the National Security Coordination Secretariat contribute significantly to road safety education in Singapore.
