Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Foreword Note from the Ministry of Public Work and Transport and National Road Safety Committee As the national economy keeps growing, the volume of all modes of transports is also increasing every year. The registered vehicles, up to 2009, have reached almost 1,400,000. Since road users have understood limitedly the Road Traffic Law, contributing to the causes of road crashes, road crash fatalities have increased almost double. On average, 05 persons are killed and another 55 injured every day, irrespective of orphans, widows and people with disability left behind. Of which, they have affected the living hood of citizens, and have contributed negative impacts on poverty reduction policy of the Royal Government. Furthermore, road crashes have posed a burden on financial status of the survived members. To counteract with the current situation, Royal Government of Cambodia and National Road Safety Committee have developed a five-year action plan in phase one 2006-2010 – composed of 15 action points – and in the progress of developing ten-year action plan in phase two 2011-2020. The phase two action plan is particularly differentiated from the phase one because it is associated with Decade of Actions for Road Safety, in which it is a new strategy addressed in the international inter-ministerial meeting hosted in Moscow, Russia, on November 2009 with the aims to prevent road crashes in an effective manner. In the name of Royal Government and National Road Safety Committee, I would like to appreciate the high efforts and responsibilities of all relevant bodies, authority, non-government organizations and private sector, who are contributing actively in developing the phase two national road safety action plan. We are, through this development, trying with our existing resources to fight against the road crash battle, in which it is occurring alarmingly in Cambodia. I would like to share the achievements, and highly appreciate the engagement from Handicap International Belgium that has been helping and cooperating with Royal Government of Cambodia and National Road Safety Committee conducting traffic law awareness for road users with the aim to bring about change what is called unruly toward rule and courteous behaviour on roads. At last, I would like to call upon, particularly, road users to take part in preventing and minimizing road crashes by ever obeying traffic law. Only a possibly vigorous engagement from road users can accomplish road crash prevention to the lowest level, which was stated in goal of ASEAN’s action plan. Minister of Ministry of Public Work and Transport and Chairman of National Road Safety Committee Tram Iv Toek

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Note from the Minister of Health The Ministry of Health has collaborated with the Ministry of Interior, National Road Safety Committee, World Health Organization and Handicap International Belgium to collect all road-crash related and other injury data from hospitals, health centers along the roads across Cambodia. The data has been analyzed and used to develop this national report “Road Crash and Victim Information System – RCVIS”, which will be disseminated to various national institutions and relevant NGOs. The analysis highlighted accurate information of crashes, fatalities, causes of injuries and so on. Coming across the experiences from RCVIS and other injuries, which have been increasing alarmingly and affecting public health, the Ministry of Health has been committed and further extended RCVIS to Injury Surveillance System (ISS) that is currently implemented in Hospitals and Health Centers. Since road crashes remain high in its rate, the Ministry of Health has been vigorous in prevention of injuries and road crashes through public health education at national to grass root level focusing on health impacts caused by injuries and road crashes, road traffic law and correct helmet wearing to sustain life. We are, particularly, improving medical emergency system to achieve a greater quality by equipping health facility and ambulances with medical equipments, and grounding health staffs and traffic police across the country in first aid skill, aiming at saving casualty’s lives at the accident scenes before dispatching to hospitals. The Ministry of Health will be fully committed to prevent road crashes and other injures in Cambodia, and continues collaborating with Ministry of Interior, National Road Safety Committee, World Health Organization and Handicap International Belgium on collecting road crash and injuries data for the high benefits of taking immediate interventions and disseminating RCVIS and ISS report to the concerning bodies. The Ministry of Health would like to thank to World Health Organization that have allocated both financial and technical support to the Ministry of Health for implementing its road safety activities to reduce fatalities, disabilities and injuries caused by road crashed and other injuries that impacts public health. It also thanks to Handicap International Belgium that have collaborated with the Ministry of Health on developing and analyzing the data from road crashes and injuries. At last, I would like to wish all road users safety, and appeal for obeying traffic law altogether and wearing helmets and seatbelts correctly any time on the roads. Minister of Ministry of Health HE Dr. Mom Bunheng

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Note from the Ministry of Interior It is, comparing to vehicle volume, assumed that road crash has been decreased. However, the fatalities, injuries and property damages remain serious. General Commissariat of National Police, under the leading of Prime Minister Hun Sen and Ministry of Interior, has vigorously enforced and made awareness of Road Traffic Law across the nation. Achievements accomplished from these efforts are the behavior change of road users to adhere the culture of Traffic Law obeying, helmet wearing, rear vision mirrors and number plate installing, seatbelt sustaining, traffic sign obeying, vehicle technicality inspecting and so on. Speed-related and drink driving, the contributors to road crashes, meanwhile, are also forcefully prevented. Education and awareness on traffic law and recommendations from the premier are conducted and disseminated accordingly by various channels. And in which, road safety related private sector such as good and passenger transport commercial, gas companies, driving schools, beverage companies and public have been motivated to obeying the traffic law and push forwards to achieve road safety. A smooth cooperation between national and international stakeholders, in cash and in kind, is also strongly made, in which contributing to road safety improving in Cambodia. The actions taken are significant components in reducing road crashes and improving traffic order, so as to gain public support. And, it is an evident of profound commitments with the sense of responsibility from General Commissariat of National Police. On behalf of the Management of General Commissariat of National Police, I would express a sincere appreciation towards traffic police force and that towards national and international agencies, private sector and general public who have enthusiastically involved in achieving road safety. General Commissariat of National Police would like to take this opportunity to appeal to the general public for obeying Traffic Law, adhering courtesy and saving lives to create safety for all.

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Note from World Health Organization Deaths and injures caused by road traffic crashes is one of the major disease burdens in the world as reported recently in the WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety. Every year, over 1.27 million people die due to traffic accidents and another 50 million people are injured. Road traffic casualties cover all age groups especially the young population and most of them are in developing countries. In recent years, due to rapid economic growth and urbanization, the number of motor vehicles in Cambodia has also increased rapidly. Road traffic accidents leading to deaths and injuries are alarming and among the highest in this region. According to the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS) annual report, in 2009 there were 1,717 people died and 19,139 injured from road traffic crashes. This means that more than 4 people die on the road everyday. WHO applauds the continued commitment of the Royal Government of Cambodia in road traffic safety in the country. WHO is working closely with relevant government counterparts and partners to develop programmes and activities to reduce fatalities, injuries and diabilities caused by road traffic crashes. These include the National Road Safety Committee (NRSC), Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Interior (MOI), Ministry of Public Work and Transport (MPWT), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), Handicap International Belgium (HIB), Cambodian Red Cross (CRC) and Japan International Coopertation Agency (JICA) and Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP). In 2009, we have put efforts on capacity building, promote public awareness, and stringent enforcement on helmet wearing, drink-driving, Speed-related, overloading, and other risk of factors. We start to see some improvements. In 2009, the fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles has decreased from 15.1 to 12.3. The helmet wearing rate has increased significantly from 45% before enforcement date in January 2009 to 65% at the end of 2009. For this, it is important to maintain reliable road accident data system to monitor trends, prioritize public health issues, and setup effective measure for road safety interventions. We believe that the continuation of good coordination and collaboration across the government, development partners,, and civil society will lead to a successful results and more tangible outputs in reducing road traffic crashes in the country. Finally, WHO is committed to provide continuous technical assistance to the Royal Government of Cambodia on road safety programmes and the necessary interventions to ensure the achievement of national objectives and targets for preventing road traffic fatalities, injuries and disabilities in Cambodia.

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Note from Handicap International Belgium Road safety is a critical issue in Cambodia. The number of road crashes, fatalities and disabilities is still alarming. Over the last five years, the number of crashes increased by 217% and the number of fatalities almost doubled. Road crashes disproportionately affect the most vulnerable. Almost 90% of road crash casualties are motorbike riders, pedestrians and bicyclists. Although the fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles has reduced, compared to 2008, the absolute number of the fatalities and the rate per 100,000 inhabitants kept increasing. Based on the research study on the cost of road crashes, conducted by Handicap International Belgium with technical support from the Institute of Mobility-Hasselt University in Belgium, road crashes in 2009 had an enormous impact on the social and economic welfare of Cambodia with an estimated annual cost of 248 million USD an increase of 135 million USD compared to 2003. Handicap International Belgium, together with our valuable partners the Ministry of Interior (MoI), Ministry of Health (MoH), National Road Safety Committee (NRSC) and World Health Organization (WHO) are proud to present this RCVIS 2009 annual report. It has become a necessary reference for road safety plans, strategies, and has particularly contributed to the development of the 2011-2020 National Road Safety Action Plan. The report clearly highlight the evolution of the road crashes since 2004 and the main risk factors with relevant recommendation on Speed-related, drink driving, vulnerable road users (motorbike riders, pedestrians, bicyclists) and high risk locations on the Cambodian road networks. The report also show the progress in the Cambodian Road Safety interventions, especially the impacts of the law enforcement on helmet wearing, which contributed to the reduction of the head injuries among motorcycle fatalities (86% in 2008 to 76% in 2009). Furthermore, the year 2009 was noted for the significant progress in term of the system handover to our government counterpart, Ministry of Health. The system has extended into the Injury Surveillance System (ISS) under the Ministry of Health structure. Appropriate trainings were organized to assigned staff within the ministry. The ISS database was developed and piloted. Following the commitment from the government and trainings, the system already was set up in Ministry of Interior in early 2010. Thank to our collaboration with the International Road Traffic Accident Database (IRTAD), our system can be upgraded through combining the raw data from police and health facilities. It will be piloted and set up in NRSC at the end of 2010. We would like to express our appreciations to the collaboration and commitment from the government counterparts, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Health and National Road Safety Committee and their staff, who devoted their time in filling each data collection forms and their commitment in managing the system after the handover. Each of them has contributed to the success and recognition of the system in the region as well as worldwide. A particular thankfulness also goes to our generous donors, the Belgian Cooperation and European Union for their continuous support in this critical issue and the publication of this report.

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Executive Summary The RCVIS Annual Report 2009 reviews the main road crash trends in Cambodia compared to previous years. In 2009, 21,519 road crash casualties were reported resulting from 12,538 estimated crashes. 1,717 were fatalities (an average of 4.7 fatalities per day) and 7,022 were severely injured. 18,410 estimated vehicles were involved in those crashes. The number of fatalities increased by 4% compared to 2008. The report also shows that over the last 5 years, the number of fatalities has almost doubled while the number of registered motorized vehicles has increased by 142%. Although the fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles has decreased from 15.1 in 2008 to 12.3 in 2009, the fatality rate per 100,000 inhabitants has increased from 12.3 in 2008 to 12.7 in 2009. The report clearly shows that the leading causes of road crashes, fatalities, and injuries (potentially leading to disability) are related to speed-related and drunk driving, in combination with low helmet wearing rates, particularly among passengers and children. Almost 70% of fatalities were due to speed-related and drunk driving behaviours. Additionally, more than 70% of motorbike fatalities had head injuries. We believe that road crashes are preventable, and with appropriate interventions fatalities and injuries leading to permanent disability in Cambodia can be reduced. Attention to identifying the most vulnerable road users continues to be a serious concern for the Royal Government of Cambodia and stakeholders. Based on the current report, the majority of fatalities were motorbike riders and pedestrians, representing more than 80% of road crash fatalities. The majority of motorbike fatalities in 2009 were young road users between 15 to 29 years old, while most pedestrians were children and elderly, who are most commonly injured in the afternoon and nighttime hours. Utilizing a Global Positioning System (GPS) database, the report highlights the most dangerous locations for road users and pedestrians. Significantly, the report disaggregates data related to pedestrian/motorbike/vehicle crashes, age groups, and crashes related to speed-related, drunk driving, or other behaviour related risk factors. The locations identified in the report as being at high risk for road users and pedestrians are primarily located along the national Cambodian highways in Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham, and Kandal Provinces. Furthermore, based on the research study, conducted by Handicap International Belgium and the Institute of Mobility – Hasselt University in Belgium, road crashes had an enormous impact on the social and economic welfare of Cambodia in 2009. The study estimates the annual economic cost of road crashes in 2009 to equal approximately 248 million USD. This estimation represents an increase of 135 million USD compared to 2003. This report details the key findings of road crashes and casualties, and provides recommendations on how these findings can be used to improve road safety in Cambodia.

Recommendations Based on the statistics presented in this report and a situational analysis of road safety in the country, key recommendations are presented in this section. Additionally, RCVIS will also provide recommendations based on main risk factors and most vulnerable road user groups. The objective of these recommendations is to contribute to the development of the 2011-2020 National Road Safety Action Plan with particular focus to the development of the helmet wearing, drunk driving and speed-related action plan.
Prioritized Main Risk Factors 1. Speed-related Speed related road crashes contributed to more than 50% of road crash fatalities in Cambodia in 2009. Driving in excess of the legal speed limit and inappropriate speed for the conditions on the road are the highest risk factor identified by the RCVIS database. A few recommendations should be taken: • •
•
National action plan on speed-related should be developed to ensure effectiveness of the intervention and cooperation among stakeholders. Public awareness should be enhanced. o The month of April should be specifically targeted as the rate of road crashes increases significantly during the Khmer holiday season. o Young road users, ages 15-29 years old, should be specifically targeted. o Villages along the Cambodian national highways in Kampong Cham, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap provinces should be specifically targeted. Law enforcement should be enhanced. o Appropriate equipment for speed detection and enforcement should be provided to traffic officers. Training should be provided to give traffic officers the technical skill to utilize modern technological equipment to enforce speed-related laws. o Slow speed areas should be set up, especially around schools to make sure speed are reduced (for example to 30km/h) o Speed checkpoints at the high risk locations below, should be set up to enforce speed-related limits. Checkpoints should be organized from 6 pm to 8 pm during the weekends at the following locations: Phnom Penh o Russian Blvd, Ta Nguon Village, Kakab Communce, Dangkao District, o Conner of Norodom Blvd and street 310, Boeng Keng Kang 1 Communce, Chamkar Mon District, o Street 271, Tumnob Tuek Commune, Chamkar Mon District, Provinces o Street 7Makara, Sangkat 4 District, Preah Sihanouk Krong, Preah Sihanouk Province o National road 5, Prey Svay, Boeng Khnar, Khnach Romeas, and Daeum Chres Village, Boeng Khnar Commune, Bakan District, Pursat Province o Street Ek Reach, Mondol Pir Village, Sangkat 2 District, Preah Sihanouk Krong, Preah Sihanouk Province o National road 5, Baliley Village, Paoy Paet District, Paoy Paet Krong, Banteay Meanchey Province o National road 5, Ou Ta Paong Village, Ou Ta Paong Commune, Bakan District, Pursat Province
2. Drunk Driving Drunk driving is the second leading risk behavior for road crashes and fatalities (13%, 17%). Important actions are recommended below: • •
National action plan for drunk driving should be developed and implemented. Law enforcement should be enhanced. xii
Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
Appropriate technical equipment should be provided to traffic officers for detecting drivers who are over the legal drinking limit. Training should be provided to traffic officers to give them the technical skill to utilize modern technological equipment to better enforce drunk driving laws. o Checkpoints should be set up to enforce drinking and driving laws at high risk locations. Checkpoints should be organized from 6pm to 11pm, especially on Saturday and Sunday, at the suggested locations below: Phnom Penh o Russian Blvd, Ta Nguon Village, Kakab Commune, DangKao District, o Street 110, Srah Chak Commune, Doun Penh District, o Corner of street 245 and 93, Boeng Keng Kong 1 Commune, Chamkar Mon District, Provinces o National road 5, Anlong Vil and Beng Villages, Anlong Vil communes, Sangkae Districts, Battambang Province o Provincial road, Phum Ti Muoy Village, Smach Meanchey District, Khemarak Phoumin Krong, Koh Kong Province o Minor road, Andoung Pou and La Edth Villages, Kampong Pranak District, Preah Vihear Krong, Preah Vihear Province o Provincial road, Voat Village, Kracheh District, Kracheh Krong, Kratie Province o Street 334, Tarang Bal and Me Phleung Villages, Koy Trabaek and Svay Rieng Districts, Svay Rieng Krong, Svay Rieng Province o Provincial road 211, Ta Khmau Village, Ta Khmau District, Ta Khmau Krong, Kandal Province Public awareness should be enhanced. o Public awareness campaigns should be organized to focus on the drunk driving behaviors of young people aged between 20 and 29 years old. o Drunk driving awareness campaigns should focus on the geographic areas found to be most at risk including: Kampong Cham, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap provinces. o
•
3. Helmet Wearing Majority (76%) of motorbike fatalities get head injuries. It is crucial that helmet wearing should be promoted and enforced among motorbike riders. • National helmet wearing action plan should be updated and implemented for 2011 onwards. • Legislation should be updated: o Revise the traffic law to include mandatory helmet wearing for passengers, particularly among children. o Increase the existing fine for not wearing helmets. • Raise public awareness and education: o Organize public campaigns on correct helmet wearing and proper helmet standards. o Increase helmet access (for example, helmet subsidy or helmet loans at schools) • Enhanced law enforcement: Set up checkpoints to enforce helmet wearing laws. Checkpoints should be organized from 6pm to 8pm and especially during the weekend among young motorbike riders (16 to 25 years old)
Target Vulnerable Road Users 4. Motorbike riders Motorbike riders are the most vulnerable road users in Cambodia. They represent 71% of total fatalities. 76% of motorbike crashes result in drivers suffering heard injuries. Important actions are recommended below: •
•
Develop and implement enhanced law enforcement measures and public awareness campaigns during national holidays, particularly during the Khmer New Year. At least 3 provinces should be prioritized: Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham and Kandal. Create separate motorcycle lanes along national roads and main urban roads xiii

5. Pedestrians Pedestrians are the second most vulnerable road users in Cambodia. The most at risk pedestrian groups are children aged between 0 and 9 years old, accounting for 30% of total pedestrian fatalities, and elderly persons, aged 55 years and above, accounting for 24% of pedestrian fatalities. Key recommends are listed below: • Awareness and education concerning safe road behaviors for pedestrians should be developed to target identified high risk age groups (particularly children and elderly). Specific focus should be given to safe crossing behavior and visibility at night • Advanced research studies on pedestrian behavior should be conducted to identify and pilot appropriate intervention strategies for reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities. • Safe School Zones should be developed to promote the safety of students when entering and exiting schools. Safe school zone measures should include increased enforcement of appropriate speed limits and ensuring school cross-walks are respected and clearly-marked. Additionally, the concept of the safe school zones should be integrated into the school curriculum. Based on data presenting child pedestrian injuries and fatalities, areas recommended for safe school zone improvement include: o

•
Pedestrian Infrastructure /facilities such as crosswalks, pedestrian bridges, sidewalks, should be improved in the following areas: National road 5, Kraol Kou Village, Kilomet 6 Commune, Ruessei Kaev District, Phnom Penh Monireth Blvd, Phneat and Damnak Thum Villages, Stung Meanchey Commune, Mean Chey District, Phnom Penh National road 5, at the border of Baliley Village, Paoy Paet District, Paoy Paet City, Banteay Meanchey
Improve Road Safety Management: 6. Capacity building of the National Road Safety Committee The National Road Safety Committee (NRSC) is the body tasked with overall management and coordination of road safety in Cambodia. Although an improvement of their capability has been observed in recent years, the NRSC requires continuous information and capacity building to strengthen their ability to make a significant impact on reducing crashes, fatalities and injuries on the roads of Cambodia. 2010-2011 will be crucial years for the development of the NRSC as the committee will be tasked to develop and implement a new 10 year Action Plan for Road Safety in Cambodia. The new action plan will be developed in line with the United Nations decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.
7. Capacity Building and Support to Law Enforcement Police In addition to supporting the National Road Safety Committee’s ability to identify priority areas of action and define policy to address these priority needs, the national law enforcement system must also be supported to ensure the full and proper implementation of NRSC policy and action plan. The Royal government of Cambodia, along with all uni-lateral and bi-lateral donors, must prioritize the provision of technical and financial support for traffic police. Specialized equipment and trainings are required to strengthen the capacity of Cambodia’s police officers and enable their ability to enforce all aspects of the Cambodian traffic law.
8. Driver Training and Licensing Driving schools are the training grounds for future drivers of Cambodia. Therefore, it is essential that safe driving behavior is instilled in the new generation of Cambodian road users. RCVIS recommends that a rigorous evaluation of the driving schools and driving license system be carried out. The objective of the evaluation should include an assessment of teaching curriculums, teaching practices, and license testing procedures. Furthermore, the driver training curriculum should stress the key behavioral risk factors leading to road crashes in Cambodia.
9. Research Road safety research is critical to improving the knowledge and understanding about contributing factors to road crashes. A body of research should be compiled for the purpose of providing a qualitative understanding of behaviors leading to road crashes. Based on a comprehensive, research-based knowledge foundation, evidenced based strategies and policies can be developed, and funds for Road Safety interventions can be more easily obtained. Recommended areas of research include: • •
A sociological assessment of dangerous road behaviors in the context of Cambodia, with a particularly focus on speed-related and drunk driving behaviors. The situation analysis of vulnerable road users in Cambodia, with specific focus on motorbike riders, pedestrians, cyclists, children and persons with disability.
As the road safety context in Cambodia is rapidly evolving, steps must be taken to ensure a continuous flow of accurate and comprehensive information to decision-making bodies in Cambodia, specifically the National Road Safety Committee. To ensure that future policies and action plans focusing on road safety are designed with accurate and up to date information, focus should also be placed on developing local researchers with capabilities to conduct ongoing road safety-related research. xv
Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
10. Emergency Assistance The report also recommends for more attention from the Royal Government of Cambodia, donors and road safety stakeholders for a better development of an Emergency Medical Services strategy and action plan coupled with a fundraising strategy, to begin addressing this critical gap in the road safety sector. Actions should be focused on: • First Aid and On Site Management: Development of local capacity of first aid among first responders (police, firemen) and community volunteers at blackspot locations as identified in this report, • Aspects of Transportation: Development of fleet of ambulances, equipment, trained staff; Identification of other appropriate means of transports such as tricycle, taxi; and appropriate emergency routes particularly along the national roads • Capacity of Hospitals: Development of hospital staff qualification in the emergency medical system and improvement of emergency equipment; • Mechanisms to Manage the System: Improvement of dispatch centers, protocol and standards, trained personnel and equipments; creating coordinating body; developing policy, legislation, regulations;
11. Partnership Road Safety is a multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral thematic which cannot be delivered by one agency alone. Strong partnerships and collaborations are crucial elements to the success of the country interventions. Government bodies, civil society organizations and private sector should keep improving these partnerships and cooperation to maximize the effectiveness of the intervention. Partnerships should be strengthened from national up to grassroots levels and from local to regional and international platforms. While missions and actions of each stakeholder can be varied, it is important that the general objectives and strategies are common in order to reduce road crashes, fatalities, injuries and disabilities.

I. Introduction Road safety funding and actions, decision-making, policy and strategy are effectively set and implemented based on evidence gathered through accurate and comprehensive data collection systems. HIB, therefore, has focused resources since 2004 to initiate the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), Interior (MoI), and Public Works and Transport (MPWT). The RCVIS has expanded to cover 193 districts/cities in all 24 provinces by collecting, centralizing, analysing and disseminating information provided by three different sources: public hospitals, private clinics and traffic police. The objective of the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS) is to provide government and development stakeholders in Cambodia with accurate, continuous and comprehensive information on road crashes and victims for the purposes of increasing understanding of the current road safety situation, planning appropriate responses and policy, and evaluating impact of current and future initiatives. Figure 1: RCVIS data collection flow in 2009
RCVIS is now recognized by national and international stakeholders as the only official source of road crashes and casualty data for Cambodia. Since the beginning of 2009, RCVIS has been progressively handed over to its government counterparts: the MoI, MoH and National Road Safety Committee (NRSC). To strengthen the sustainability of the system after the handover, HIB will continue to provide technical support to the ministries, especially on the system management and advanced data analysis to ensure the quality of the reports. A new upgraded version of the combined database for the NRSC is expected to pilot at the end of the year after the successful handover of the police data to the MoI. Appropriate capacity-building trainings on database management will be continued to appointed staff in those three organizations. This annual report analyses the information collected by RCVIS for the year 2009. It is a synthesis of all the monthly reports that were published throughout 2009. The previous annual reports (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008), as well as all monthly reports and other information related to road safety, can be found on the following website: www.roadsafetycambodia.info.

Cambodia Road Crash and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
II. Data Source RCVIS has combined two main data sources (traffic police and health facilities). To avoid double entries between health facilities and traffic police data, when a casualty is reported by a health facility as well as by the traffic police, it is taken into account only once (shared around 8% among fatalities and 6% among injured people). In 2009, traffic police played a very important role in collecting data on fatalities. As shown in the figure below, almost 95% of fatalities throughout Cambodia were reported by traffic police. Although health facilities reported around 15% of fatalities, they played a more important role in collecting traffic injury data. More than 50% of those injuries were reported by hospital or health center staff. Figure 2: Percentage of injured and fatalities reported to RCVIS by traffic police and health facilities – 2009
There was a slight increase in the number of districts reported by traffic police, but the coverage areas that were reported by traffic police were still the same as last year (whole country). This increase of districts was due to the re-arrangement of the new district structures. On the other hand, although the total number of hospitals and health centers were increased as compared to 2008, the data collection forms were not reported and sent regularly. For example, only two of the main hospitals in Phnom Penh participated in the data collection. This caused significant under-reported cases, especially among injury data. 1

IV.5 Causes of crashes A road crash can result from many causal factors. The contribution of factors in a crash is very important in the development of key action to prevent crashes and injuries. RCVIS divides causes into three categories: human error, road environment (road and weather conditions), and vehicle defects. Generally, human errors contributed to 97% of crashes. Vehicle defects accounted for around 3.5% and road environment accounted around 2 %. Figure 43: Percentage of crash by cause of crashes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2009
As shown in the figure on the next page, Speed-related was the leading cause of crashes in Cambodia. It represented more than 50% of fatalities, while another 17% were caused by drunk driving. Dangerous overtaking also contributed to a high proportion (12%) among fatalities. The percentages of fatalities in speed and drunk driving were higher than percentages of crashes, which could demonstrate that a person has a higher risk of death in speed and drunk driving crashes than those due to other kinds of human errors.

At the same time, the percentage of casualties wearing a helmet increased from 6% in 2008 to 20% in 2009. The helmet wearing rate in Phnom Penh was higher than in the provinces (25%, 18%). The rate of helmet wearing was higher during the daytime (22%) than at night (17%). Additionally, the wearing rate was higher among driver casualties (25%) than among passenger casualties (8%). This can be due to the fact that helmets are compulsory only for motorbike drivers and that there has been enhanced enforcement by traffic police, especially in Phnom Penh, since January 2009 but only on drivers. A research study, conducted by Handicap International Belgium, showed that the average wearing rate measured 9 in Phnom Penh (4) in August 2009 was 85% among drivers and 11% among passengers. In addition, according to another study by the Ministry of Health at the end of 2009 (5), the helmet wearing rate among drivers was 65% and among passenger was 9% in 7 provinces: Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kompong Chhnang, Kompong Thom, Kandal, Siem Reap and Takeo

This survey of helmet wearing was conducted by Handicap International Belgium during 6 days at the beginning of February 2009 at different times and locations to measure the effectiveness of helmet wearing awareness campaigns in 2009.

IX. Blackspot From July 2006, Handicap International Belgium and the Ministry of Interior decided to introduce Global Position System (GPS) devices to the traffic police in all provinces. The GPS technology can identify road crash locations on the Cambodian Road Network easily, quickly and accurately by using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping. The data has been used to identify locations that have the highest numbers of crashes, deaths or injuries and to understand the nature of crashes. The system also helps to develop priority actions to improve the physical condition or management of hazardous locations by implementing appropriate solutions at these locations.
The term “blackspot” in this report has been defined as a section on the road that has the highest number of road crashes/fatalities/casualties in one year period, in a selected area, such as Phnom Penh or the provinces. Based on this definition, blackspots were identified in Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham, Kandal and Siem Reap.
