2.2.4) Law Enforcement Trend – Worldwide & India

Key risk factors for road accidents & death identified are:

Seat Belt : 111 countries have a comprehensive Seat-belt laws

Speed : Only 59 countries have a comprehensive urban speed law

1 Drink-Drive : 89 countries have a comprehensive Drink–driving law

Helmets : 90 countries have comprehensive Motorcycle helmet laws

Education

Emergency


2.3.1 ) Aspects of Road Safety (to be modified)

2) Children's Traffic Education is recommended as part of

curriculum for effective and sustainable development of road

safety attitude..

1) Driver Training & Testing

With road user error contributing to the vast majority of road

crashes, the development of safe drivers, skilled in defensive

driving techniques, should be the primary objective of any road

safety program. Driving examiners in developing countries are

rarely given special training and driving tests an inadequate test

of ability to drive safely in traffic on real roads

World bank has identified the need of education as key for road

safety enhancement and included in the list of key issues (17

items) about ensuring greater safety in transport & minimizing

adverse effects of transport on health

26


2.3.2) Road Fatalities- Statistics

Road Fatalities – Type of Road usage

75% - Road Users

(Pedestrians / Bike riders)

25% - Others

(Vehicle Occupants. etc)

53.1 % 32.4 %

14.5 %

75%

25%

Age: 25 ~ 65 Years

Road Fatalities – Age wise

Age: 15 ~ 24 Years

Age: Others

Reference: Synthesis Report of 4E Working Group- MoRTH

27

However, nearly 78.5% accidents

are due to fault of Driver


2.3.3 ) Aspects of Road Safety

Traffic Education to Children

Road Safety as part of curriculum

Lectures by Road Accident Victim

Traffic Education to Drivers

Advanced Driving Schools

Collaboration with IDTR

Refresher Training program for HM drivers (target – 80000 drivers/year)

140cr. Expense proposal on driving schools under 11th five year plan

28


2.4) Aspects of Road Safety


Enforcement

Engineering

Education

Emergency


2.4.1) WHAT IS EMERGENCY?

• Lack of awareness about Emergency Medical Service (EMS)

System;

• Lack of basic first aid skills;

• Non availability of standardized toll free national access

number to call for medical help;

• Lack of adequate number of first respondents/ambulances;

• Lack of documentation and foolproof reporting mechanism

• Non availability of appropriate and safe transport of the

injured in the form of ambulances, air ambulances, etc;

Thus, it is necessary to look at the Emergency Care/ Trauma Care System as a whole rather than just piecemeal at its components.

Few events are more distressing than an unexpected loss of life or permanent disability

caused by accidental injury.

Particularly tragic is the injured but potentially salvageable patient who dies needlessly

through delay in retrieval, inadequate assessment or ineffective Treatment.

30


2.4.2) ACTIONS - MAKE ROBUST SYSTEM

MODIFICATION

OF EXISTING

SCHEMES

National Highway Trauma Care Project (NHTCP)

- Extended to all national highways in all states.

- State governments to replicate same on state highways.

- ‘102’ adopted as Toll Free National Medical Distress Call Number across the country

National Highways Accident Relief Services Scheme

- Include a periodic audit of the available ambulances and cranes

- Reduction of response time of 30 minutes for ambulances, cranes to 10 minutes

• Existing – Already providing ambulance equipped with patient care, comfort , ergonomics

• Future – Produce Smart vehicle (with E-call feature) - vehicle self interacting with infrastructure

OEM

INTERVENTION

Implementation of the Emergency Medical

Services (EMSS) Systems

3) Way Forward..

To Achieve 2020 target for Road Safety

Enforcement

Education Emergency
