Road safety measures for heavy vehicles in APEC transport supply chains: final report

The specific objectives of the investigation were to: 1. identify road safety issues relating to heavy vehicles in selected APEC economies; 2. quantify the economic impacts on the supply chain of heavy vehicle crashes; 3. identify any barriers to improving safety that currently exist; 4. create a compendium of safety interventions, supported by case studies, which could be applied in developing economies. The investigation comprised four key tasks, as follows: 1. a survey of road transport/road safety agencies of governments in all APEC economies; 2. a literature review, focussing on heavy vehicle safety issues in the Asia Pacific region; 3. consultation visits with stakeholders from selected APEC member economies (Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam), to determine issues and priorities for heavy vehicle safety; 4. development of a compendium of potential heavy vehicle safety interventions.
