There are many cities on the west coast of the Sumatra, which are at high risk of the Tsunami disaster. Regional Regulations on Regional Spatial Planning for each City/ Regency have compiled disaster mitigation by constructing several evacuation roads. This study wants to illustrate: what are the volume of traffic generation and road performance, if there is a Tsunami disaster. The simulation is developed by predicting traffic volume based on parameters, population density, vehicle ownership, land use, and activities in the area around the road. The assessment was carried out on two tsunami evacuation roads in the city of Padang, West Sumatra Province. The results show that the highest traffic volume occurred in the period from 06.30 a.m until 3:00 p.m., during school activities. One of the roads will not be able to accommodate the volume of traffic during a disaster, due to significant traffic congestion. This study shows that: (1) the period of activity and land use are two main parameters, which must be considered in designing tsunami evacuation roads, (2) The degree of saturation ratio and the ratio between the capacity of sections of Tsunami evacuation routes can be proposed as a parameter for assessing the performance of Tsunami evacuation roads in urban areas.

A series of disasters, from the 2004 Aceh Tsunami to the 2009 Padang Earthquake, has changed the paradigm of urban development in coastal areas in Indonesia. District or City Regional Regulations concerning Regional Spatial Planning finally oblige disaster mitigation by constructing evacuation roads. The attraction of the Tsunami Evacuation Road (TES) which was built with a relatively wide size in the city, makes the road a favourite route for motorists. The increased vehicular traffic also triggered the addition of the number of new commercial buildings along the road. The Indonesian Road Capacity Manual 1997 for urban roads is used as a reference in the analysis of the service performance of these road sections. The relatively rapid increase in traffic volume and side-road disturbances have resulted in a relative decline in road performance in a short period. The active role of the government in minimizing body side disturbances, by maximizing the implementation of traffic management and control of land-use changes are options.

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.
