“…Peta lokasi rawan kecelakaan lalu lintas di Kota Bandung Rencana aksi keselamatan jalan sudah banyak dilakukan sejak PBB memproklamirkan Tahun 2011-2020 sebagai "Decade of action for road safety". Berbagai rencana dan pengukuran keselamatan jalan sudah dilakukan, termasuk perencanaan sistem transportasi, transportasi publik, peningkatan infrastruktur (Singh et al, 2017), pengukuran keselamatan kendaraan (Bensiradj & Moussaoui, 2019;Fitriyani et al, 2019), peningkatan dan implementasi dari hukum keselamatan jalan (Nazif-Munoz et al, 2021), post crash life saving emergency care (Hikmah et al, 2018;Zahran et al, 2017), identifikasi titik kecelakaan lalu lintas (Zahran et al, 2017), pengukuran perilaku terkait keselamatan jalan, edukasi keselamatan jalan (Jadaan et al, 2020;Khan et al, 2021), dan lainnya.…”

West Java is the province in Indonesia with the third greatest number of accidents. Accidents are caused by dangerous traffic behavior. In order to save Indonesia's productive generation, changing traffic behavior is a top concern. Several schools in accident-prone areas have been designated as Safe School Zones (ZoSS) by the government. However, it is vital to teach students and their support systems how to drive safely. This program seeks to promote road safety knowledge and behavior, support changes in traffic safety behavior, and increase traffic safety knowledge and behavior among students, teachers, and the public. On December 22, 2021, the activity was held in 5 elementary schools (SD) and 5 junior high schools (SMP), with theoretical and practical road safety training. The activities resulted in the development of young fighters' capacity, the formation of Road Safety Ambassadors and Safety Awareness Community Groups (KMSK), and the emergence of a sustainable program by advocating to the government and designating the Bandung City Transportation Office as the Adopting Father of Ambassadors and KMSK.

“…Over time, pavements undergo gradual deterioration and specific forms of distress progress throughout their lifespan. This degradation not only impacts the ride quality but also increases the likelihood of road traffic accidents [1]. Consequently, it undermines the overall sustainability of the pavement infrastructure.…”

Municipalities and transportation departments worldwide are striving to keep road pavement conditions acceptable, thus enhancing pavement sustainability. Although the pavement condition index (PCI) is widely used to assess distress conditions, traditional visual surveys used for PCI estimation can be laborious, expensive, and time-consuming. The international roughness index (IRI) can be measured more economically and conveniently than PCI; however, it does not directly indicate the surface condition of the pavement. In this study, a PCI–IRI correlation is proposed for urban roads located in the New Beni-Suef region, Egypt. For this purpose, a total of 44 km of urban roads was divided into homogenous sections. A visual distress survey was conducted to measure PCI considering typical distress patterns. The IRI values for the same sections were measured using an ultrasonic distance sensor mounted on an automobile. An exponential model was proposed to capture the relationship between IRI and PCI. With a coefficient of determination of 0.82, the exponential model seems to outperform reported IRI-PCI correlations. Model validation, along with a comparison to the existing models, supports its applicability to a wide range of roads. The proposed model provides a cost-effective means for accurately predicting PCI based on IRI, which is particularly useful for pavement maintenance management programs on limited budgets.

“…Additionally, reducing 1 m/km in IRI can save USD 340 million in tire wear costs for passenger cars [13]. Moreover, the impact of roughness on accident rates was remarked by different studies [14][15][16]. Thus, it is usually used to capture commuters' experience on roads.…”

Roughness is widely used as a primary measure of pavement condition. It is also the key indicator of the riding quality and serviceability of roads. The high demand for roughness data has bolstered the evolution of roughness measurement techniques. This study systematically investigated the various trends in pavement roughness measurement techniques within the industry and research community in the past five decades. In this study, the Scopus and TRID databases were utilized. In industry, it was revealed that laser inertial profilers prevailed over response-type methods that were popular until the 1990s. Three-dimensional triangulation is increasingly used in the automated systems developed and used by major vendors in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Among the research community, a boom of research focusing on roughness measurement has been evident in the past few years. The increasing interest in exploring new measurement methods has been fueled by crowdsourcing, the effort to develop cheaper techniques, and the growing demand for collecting roughness data by new industries. The use of crowdsourcing tools, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is expected to receive increasing attention from the research community. However, the use of 3D systems is likely to continue gaining momentum in the industry.
