“…24 Although such interventions should be considered for integration into policy to reduce road traffic injuries, an absence of evidence of effectiveness in low-income and middle-income countries could be a barrier to implementation. 25 Interventions applicable to all age groups, such as the enforcement of speed-limits and drink-driving bans, have been found to be effective in reducing road traffic deaths, 26 and should also be prioritised.…”

“…In other words, this research considers burnout and risk-taking behaviour on the roads as outcomes of job-related factors, which have never been empirically tested. We also want to highlight that this is the first time that this type of framework has been used in a lowand middle-income country which further highlights the importance of these findings as road safety research is still scarce in these jurisdictions (Haghani et al, 2022) Second, the present study sheds light on mechanisms associated with burnout by extending the JD-R model with personal demands and resources as well as perceived safety risks. Generally, the findings were…”

“…Currently, in the field of road safety research, the scope still exists as a limitation. According to a 2021 study that researched road safety in the context of low-and middle-income countries, it is estimated that slightly less than 10% of the road safety research has been undertaken in the contexts of LMICs, which is extremely disproportionate considering the fact that most road traffic deaths and injuries occur in LMICs ( [8]).…”

Road Safety is an important aspect when considering the public health of a nation. Road Safety is becoming an increasing concern among nations, and road safety hazards remained a huge problem in some nations, causing financial loss and fatalities. Estimated results demonstrates that road traffic injuries cost the government approximately 3% of GDP, and up to 5% in low- and middle-income countries [1]. Since the road traffic incidence created substantial financial burden, it is necessary to control risk factors and improve the road safety advance. By evaluating the road safety conditions of each individual states, or by comparing the road safety status of a group of states, we can identify the potential strengths and weaknesses of each state hence give suggestions for future improvements. This paper looks at a ten-year data (2009-2019), source from the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, and the Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group. The aim of this research is to evaluate and benchmark the road safety conditions of the members states of the Organization of American States by applying Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution, a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) technique for classification; identify the continuity in development and advancement of road safety conditions for each state; group the member states of OAS into classes by applying K-Nearest Neighbor Analysis, an algorithm for classification and regression that group objects into classes based on its k nearest neighbors; and make suggestion for future improvements for each member states with respect to their group members. It is concluded that certain indicators are underperformed by a majority of OAS members, which allowed policymakers to identify the potential weakness in road safety performance and offer effective intervention. Additionally, suggestions are made for under-performing countries of the OAS to refer to the road safety procedure from the best-performing nations for future road safety advances.
