Abstract

There have various ways of assessing the cost and impact of road traffic casualties. Willingness to pay and Gross output are the two methods, which are usually used to estimate the value of safety. The purpose of this study is to propose a method to estimate the best figure for valuing the slight motorcycle casualty. To find the best figure, this study looks at evaluation of gross output and willingness to pay methods for costing slight motorcycle casualty in Surabaya, Indonesia, where the number of motorcycles has grown by an average of 6.25% yearly and correspond growth of with the casualties especially those with slight injury. In order to obtain a real value that reflects the economic burden of the casualty, a questionnaire survey has been undertaken. The results of both methods have been analyze and compared.
