2 UNESCAP 1. Introduction 2. Target Road Safety Facility 3. Guideline/Manual for RSF 4. Survey Design and Application Plan 5. Discussion and Remark 2

3 Background - The AH project was initiated by the United Nations in 1959 with the aim of promoting the development of international road transport - 32 countries, 55 routes, 140,000km - Huge amount of budget, human resource and international agreements are required - Are we ready to open the traffic? UNESCAP 3

4 Background UNESCAP 4

5 Background Number of road traffic deaths 2010 Number of road traffic deaths Number of road traffic deaths per 100,000 population RoK DPRK China Thailand Bangladesh India 6,784 2, ,983 26,312 17, , Societal crash cost for a fatality is $5,800,000 (FHWA, 2008) UNESCAP 5

6 Background - Up to 34% of crashes can be reduced by improving of the environment factors - Road safety facility can make up for the defect of roadway environment - Every country has different roadway environment and different type of facilities - In order to make it upward leveling, technical standard of road safety facility is required UNESCAP 6

7 Purpose Development of the Technical Standards on the Road Safety Facilities (RSF) to share in the AH 1 & 6 Enhancement of the traffic safety level in the region INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT ON THE ASIAN HIGHWAY NETWORK Annex II III. DESIGN STANDARDS OF ASIAN HIGHWAY ROUTES 10. Road safety While developing the Asian Highway network, Parties shall give full consideration to issues of road safety. Make this article detail and prepare effectual action plan UNESCAP 7

12 Road Safety Facility (RSF) - Remove or redesign the obstacle - Relocate the obstacle to a point where it is less likely to be struck - Shield the obstacle with a longitudinal traffic barrier designed for redirection or use a crash cushion to reduce impact severity - Delineate the obstacle if the above alternatives are not appropriate UNESCAP 12

26 Case study : MEDIAN BARRIER Definition Primary purpose is to prevent errant vehicles from crossing a median and becoming involved in a potentially serious collision in the opposing lane of traffic Median barriers are used to separate through traffic from local traffic They may also be used to separate high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes from general purpose lanes UNESCAP 26

40 Number of crashes To answer HOW / WHY - How : Size, material, color - Why : Performance evaluation Before T r e a t m e n t After Time Crash reduction rate Actual crash test Simulation experiment UNESCAP 40

41 To answer HOW / WHY UNESCAP 41

42 To answer HOW / WHY UNESCAP 42

43 Technical standard should be based on the political basis not a theoretical basis - Participation of stakeholders in AH project is key issue - This research play important role for opinion coordination and agreement 2015 Share the research strategy 2016 Draft version of technical standard for RSF 2017 Final version of technical standard for RSF Participation, Feedback & Coordination!
