DID YOU KNOW?DID YOU KNOW?• 80% of
motorcycle crashes kill or injure rider.
• While 20% of car crashes kill or injure a vehicle occupant.

The First Road Traffic Accident!
• The first recorded Road Traffic Accident was Bridget Driscoll in London, August 17th.1896.
• The Coroner stated that it was easily avoidable and should never happen again.
• It Has… Over 25 million times!
![Page 17: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is an Accident?
• Up until 1650 an accident was seen as either Witchcraft or Gods will.
• It was then that social science began by recording births, deaths & later marriages.

Traffic Safety
• Safety is the condition in which the risk of harm or damage is limited to an acceptable level
• State of mind that make people Thinking, Acting, Behave in such way to minimizing the exposure to danger.

Approaches used in Road Safety Programmes
• Accident Preventions (proactive action)
• Accident Reduction (reactive action)– Improvement of hazardous location– Motorcycle lane– Paving of road shoulder– Improvement of dangerous curve
![Page 37: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

– Pedestrian crossing– Overtaking lane– Street lighting– Road Maintenance
• Road Maintenance
• Building New Road

Faktor Penyebab Kecelakaan di Indonesia
• Pengguna Jalan (lengah, mabuk, ngebut, jarak terlalu dekat, penyeberang jalan, hewan) 93,52%
• Jalan (persimpangan, marka/rambu tidak jelas, permukaan licin) 3,23%
• Kendaraan (ban pecah, rem blong, kemudi dan lampu tidak berfungsi) 2,76%
• Lingkungan (mix traffic, pengawasan dan penegakan hukum, cuaca) 0,49%

The Weak Link!
Millions of dollars are spent every year on safer car design and car safety systems.
Millions of dollars are spent every year on safer road designs
Only a few hundred dollars is spent on the most important factor…THE DRIVER!
![Page 46: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Age – the younger driver
• Limited skills• Sense of overconfidence• Younger drivers tend to drive
faster, drive at night, and drive while drunk.
• After the first year of driving, young drivers have acquired the basic control skills of driving but not the tactical and strategic judgment needed for safe driving.
![Page 47: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Age – the older driver
• Information-processing impairments• Slower response time• A more restricted field of attention• Reduced time-sharing abilities• Reduced visual capacity, especially at night• Older drivers compensate by driving more slowly and
by not driving at night.• Older drivers drive less safely at the control level but
can compensate with appropriate choices at the tactical and strategic levels.
![Page 48: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

The Impaired Driver
• Alcohol– Involved in approximately 50% of fatal highway
accidents in the U.S.
– With blood alcohol content as low as 0.05%, drivers react more slowly, are poorer at tracking, are less effective at time-sharing, and show impaired information processing.
– One of the most effect interventions may be social norming.
• Fatigue has roughly the same effect as alcohol.
![Page 50: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Impairment interactions
• A combination of fatigue, alcohol, and age can combine to degrade driving performance
• The presence of passengers may be distracting and encourage risky behavior.
• A young person driving with friends at night and after drinking is an extremely dangerous combination.

DISTRACTED DRIVING• Does Cause Crashes
– No Reliable info on degree of involvement
• Cell Phones
– The worst
– Hands free is no better
• DVD Players
– Portable and mounted
– Rapidly growing issue
• All the old standbys
– Not as bad as above

Education
“The raising awareness of hazards and how to avoid them”
• Child car seats• Green Cross Code• Induction training• Subliminal Advertising• Incentive schemes• Accident Investigations

Training and selection
• Tests of static visual acuity have very little relevance for driving.
• Driver's Education class may not help.
• Behind the wheel navigation in a vehicle may not be the best test.
• Simulators for training and for testing can be helpful and cost effective.
![Page 63: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Driver adaptation and risk calibration
• People do not respond rapidly to the unexpected.
• Since most people have not been in an accident, their expectancy is set at zero.
• Risk homeostasis - people tend to maintain their risk even with added safety features.

Time to react to a perceived hazard
• Two seconds is a minimum.

Engineering
“Altering the environment to reduce risk and chance taking”
• Safer car design• Road design• Separating vehicles and pedestrians• Traffic management systems• Emergency response
![Page 76: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Driving Safety Improvements
• Driver characteristics
– Training and selection
– Driver adaptation and risk calibration
– Regulatory compliance• Vehicle characteristics
– Sensing and warnings• Protective devices

Driver adaptation and risk calibration
• The design of vehicle performance improvements, such as antilock brakes, may make the driver adjust the driving speed to maintain the same perceived risk (risk homeostatis).
• The design of protection features, such as widening highways from 2 to 4 lanes, has a positive effect on safety.
![Page 78: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Sensing and warnings
• High-mounted brake lights
• Some direct sensors of the rate of closure with the leading car
![Page 79: Traffic Safety](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54925a53ac7959dd568b45e7/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Protective devices
• Failure to use shoulder/lap seat belts is associated with a 40% increase in fatalities.
• Air bags have a similar protective value.
• The most critical factor contributing to driver survival after a crash is the time from the crash scene to an emergency room.

Regulatory compliance
• Tickets and warnings
• Photo radar (controversial)
• When the highway speed limit was increased to 65 mph, the number of fatalities increased 10 to 16%.
• Police randomly rewarding seat-belt use by drivers with cash and coupons

• Signal Controlled Junctions– Incorrect arrangement, object obstructing
signal heads, inadequate inter-green.– Access to signal-controlled junctions,
uncontrolled-road access to signal controlled junctions observed
– Pedestrian facilities, high number of pedestrian fatalities
– Placement of signal posts, sited in the walking path.

indecision– Advance traffic sign and local directions, early
and advance traffic signing– Sign facings, too small size of letter.– Carriageway markings, badly design and
poorly laid out.

my grandfather – who died
peacefully in his sleep. Not
screaming like all the
