Serious discussion on End of Life Vehicles (ELVs) in Malaysia began in 2006 when research on the development of the automotive industry was undertaken. The interest increased following the introduction of the National Automotive Policy (NAP) in 2009. This research paper describes ELVs from the perspective of industry players based on their direct experience and participation in the industry through comprehensive observation by looking at the practices of ELV management in Malaysia. This research paper will highlight the existence of some of the innate problems facing the ELV management in the country along with suggestions for approaches and solutions to enhance Malaysia’s potential as one of the most important industry players in the automotive segment in the Asian region.

The movement of the driver’s foot from one pedal to another is a blind positioning movement. Variability of driver’s foot movement might lead to pedal error or pedal misapplication. In this paper, we reviewed the research focus in the pedal error study, who are the participants involved in the study, what kind of approach or method used to perform the pedal error study, how is the test setup, test condition, and flow of the study, and what are the factors influencing the pedal error accidents. The review searched relevant articles based on five keywords: pedal errors, pedal misapplication, sudden unintended acceleration (SUA), automotive foot pedals, and sudden acceleration accidents. Based on the review, the research focus is focusing on the factors causing the pedal error, understanding the fundamental principles of pedal misapplications, and characteristics of pedal errors among older drivers. The pedal error study has been conducted either using the naturalistic driving, driving simulation, or survey. The pedal error among ASEAN drivers is essential since there is no study related to this topic has been conducted in any ASEAN countries yet.

High mobility rate among women has made them more vulnerable in the road environment. Lifestyle changes have urged many women to increase their mobility due to accommodate current demand. Therefore, women are exposed to the risk of accidents as many of them are populated in the road environment. However, most studies and instrumentation on-road environments are universal and not specifically targeting women's perception and anticipation preventing road accidents. Hence, the current study is developing and validating instrumentation of women's perception in Malaysia Road Environment. The sample of this study is 93 women with various age numbers. Out of 7 constructs, 6 were found most reliable and valid with the Cronbach Alpha value > 0.75. The present research provides details of factor analysis results, composite reliability, average variance extract, and reliability analysis which all concluded that the internal consistency of WPRE was not violated. Results reveal items developed are suitable to be adapted in future research with some modification. Finally, this research contributes to developing and validating women’s perception in a road accident which is reliable and valid for measuring WPRE.

An Advanced Rear Visualization (ARV) based on camera technology is becoming more widely available in the automobile market as it increases the ability to see beyond the area of a mirror's image as well as helping to eliminate the driver’s blind spot. Besides, it assists the driver in parking, reversing, and maneuvering safely. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how people use them to do so effectively and efficiently. This paper describes an experimental setup to observe the driver’s behavior while reverse parking the car with and without the use of a camera as well as to observe the impact of glare during daylight on the driving performance. An area of 14 meters x 12 meters is designed as the Test Environment (TE) to fit in two parking spaces. Three cameras are used to monitor the participant’s head movements and eye movements. This research is designed to study and collect driver behavior data including the reaction time taken during parking concerning the driver with different age groups, camera usage during a sunny day, and also two different parking conditions which are parallel parking and perpendicular parking. This setup is expected to be implemented to forecast the camera usage among the drivers to help the driver park their car in the reverse direction to solve the limited blind spot issue. Collected data from this study will be used as the preliminary data for road test evaluation. It is to further study the impact of glare during daylight on driving performance.

Many possible actions can be taken to improve road safety, thus reducing the number of fatalities and injuries. These include improving the enforcement of existing rules, improving infrastructure, improving driver behavior, and introducing safety technologies in vehicles. Annually in Malaysia, around 500 pedestrians are killed in road traffic crashes. Around 40% of these are hit by the front of a car. Third largest contributor group in terms of fatality. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems fitted to cars for pedestrians have been predicted to offer substantial benefits. The rapid development of pedestrian safety is in progress worldwide. With forward‐looking sensor systems entering the vehicle fleet, the possibility to detect pedestrians in advance opens new possibilities to injury mitigation. Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is to be done on the implementation of the AEB Pedestrian system in ASEAN countries. An estimation of potential benefit for ASEAN is to be done and to do so, a suitable methodology is required. Limitations to the method will be reduced by performing adequate sensitivity analysis on major data such as cost.

Motorcycle is a preferred private transportation mode (45%) among Malaysian due to its affordability and eases to move around especially in the hectic urban areas. These vulnerable road users are exposed to greater risk in road collisions due to sharing the roadway with other motor vehicles and unprotected. Worse still, the road was designed without concern for the motorcycle's characteristics. No doubt, segregating motorcycles exclusively from the roadway is an effective engineering measure to address motorcycle safety. But it may not be feasible to introduce in the well-built urban areas. Identification of the road and traffic variables that affecting safe motorcycling in the urban roadway is an initiative to create a safer riding environment. The initial study was carried out to identified traffic and roadway variables that affecting safe motorcycling. The seven pre-determined variables that were found to significantly influencing Malaysian motorcycle riders' safety perception are: pavement condition, paved shoulder width, posted speed limit, mixed traffic volume, type of roadway, lane width, and parking condition. These pre-determined variables were further investigated in the subsequent study, questionnaire with fourteen short video clips representing different traffic and roadway conditions was aired to 483 respondents to rate the motorcycling safety score (MSS) based on their safe riding perception. The response on MSS was further developed into Motorcycling Safety Index (MSI). Lastly, 114 combinations of different traffic and roadway conditions for seven pre-determined variables were formed to establish the Composite MSI boundary. The development of Composite MSI is to enable the road authorities and agencies and/or practitioners to assess the problematic road segments that required immediate remedial actions.

Traffic and road safety is a major concern of many governments around the world as it ensures the safety of its road users. Due to an increase in the number of road users, traffic-related accidents and fatalities have increased annually. Therefore, governments have stepped up their efforts to ensure the safety of road users and to reduce the number of traffic-related accidents and fatalities. However, these efforts have proven ineffective as the data gathered to measure the effectiveness of these efforts either lack credibility or are insufficient. This has led to inconclusive findings concerning the culture of road users and the extent of their awareness of traffic safety. Therefore, this paper performs a systematic data- and text-driven analytics and review of published literature on public awareness of traffic and road safety. The selected papers were first subjected to content analysis before being grouped according to the frequency of use of keywords discussing the issue at hand. As this method enabled us to successfully identify trends as well as the efficacy of traffic and road safety research, therefore, data and text analytics is an effective method of conducting a systematic literature review. The findings of this study will help traffic authorities gain credible insights into public perception, behavior, and attitude towards traffic safety awareness. Our assessment indicates that there are two important perspectives to be considered with regard to road safety; namely human and technology; the latter of which will be the main topic of study on public awareness of road and traffic safety. Moreover, an emerging trend in the literature suggests that more efforts should be allocated to promoting public awareness of road and traffic safety.

Road safety has become one of the most hazardous threats to human kinds since 1.25 million road traffic deaths occur every year, with young people between the age of 15-29 mostly died from road traffic death. As this figure continues to increase steadily each passing year, concerns on developing strategic road safety planning have been taken into the picture. Governments, including Malaysia, refer to outputs from road safety indexes to assess their performance and improve local conditions. Several road safety indexes have included Malaysia in their list, which is stratified according to income status, continents, and the number of populations, to name a few. However, the competitions were seen to be unfairly played as each and every country are unique and different from each other thus ideal comparisons are very challenging. This paper aims to shed light on this issue by suggesting suitable and strategic indicators to be used in a targeted road safety index to allow a fair comparison between countries. Any related articles available on the internet were scoured so that the fundamentals of a targeted road safety index could be developed. The results show that the development of a road safety index requires careful and distinctive works as the road safety index was meant to compare countries and work as planning and monitoring tools. Also, other road safety indexes are showing different outputs between countries. To overcome this, new and targeted road safety indicators were proposed according to each pillar in the United Nations Decade of Action 2015- 2020. Developing the proposed road safety index can provide an alternative road safety index and a tool to encourage and motivate countries to improve their local road safety conditions.

Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is an inventive problem-solving method developed to find a solution for issues involving contradictions. The TRIZ method was applied to develop a new method of simulating raining weather conditions for vehicle lane support system (LSS) on-road testing infrastructure. The objective of the project was to develop a mechanical solution capable of dispensing a consistent amount of water to a moving vehicle to simulate raining weather conditions, while at the same time it is portable and easy to set up. Based on the requirement, the TRIZ 40 inventive principles were applied as the solution, based on the principles of “the other way around”, “segmentation”, “dynamicity” and “feedback”. The specific solution generated based on the inventive principles identified was to make both the vehicle and the rain simulating machine movable during the on-road test. This is achieved by creating a customized rain machine that can be fitted onto a moving vehicle. This simple setup enabled both vehicle-under-test (VUT) and the rain machine vehicle to move simultaneously during the test, at any test speed and type of test track desired. Furthermore, the rain machine itself is designed with the capability to dispense the water by using a control unit, hence making the testing method safer and less human effort required. Based on the literature review, there is yet no similar solution for simulating raining conditions in LSS on-road test made using the same principle developed in this project. The innovative portable rain machine developed in this project could also be applied for other Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) test protocols requiring similar raining testing conditions especially involving moving VUT.

The TRIZ method was applied to develop a new method of simulating raining weather conditions for vehicle lane support system (LSS) on-road testing infrastructure. The objective of the project was to develop a mechanical solution capable of dispensing a consistent amount of water to a moving vehicle to simulate raining weather conditions, while at the same time it is portable and easy to set up. Based on the requirement, the TRIZ 40 inventive principles were applied as the solution, based on the principles of “the other way around”, “segmentation”, “dynamicity” and “feedback”.
