TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Accident characteristics on low-volume roads in indonesia JO - Transportation research record A1 - Achwan, Nawawi A1 - Rudjito, Didik SP - 103 EP - 110 VL - 1652 IS - N2 - Road accident statistics from the Indonesian Traffic Police Headquarters for the last decade show that there have been 10,000 fatalities on average per year. This situation has become a serious national issue. Since 1989 the Overseas Unit of Transport Research Laboratory has been involved in a collaborative research study on road safety with the Institute of Road Engineering in Bandung, using the Microcomputer Accident Analysis Package (MAAP). A pilot study to implement the MAAP system was set up in four regions. The characteristics of road accidents on selected low-volume roads are described and processes for identifying contributory factors at hazardous locations are introduced.
