This study provides the behaviour of university students using smartphone on daily basis and while driving, and exploring their perception towards the road safety of such habits. World Health Organisation states that distracted driving due to smartphone usage has been the uprising cause of road traffic injuries especially among young drivers. This study will provide knowledge in enforcing the right mitigation measures in preventing such behaviour from growing. The results from this study can also be integrated in intelligent transportation system in traffic accident prevention programme. This survey is conducted at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia with a sample size of 371 respondents with majority of them aged 21 to 25 (86.6%) who own smartphone (100%) and private vehicle (59.1%). Results found that university student are dependent of their smartphone on daily basis for alarm (94.3%), communication and socialisation (73.9%). They tend to use their smartphone while driving, at traffic light (68.4%) and during traffic congestion (61.0%), often for maps navigations (69.8%) and to make call (57.4%) in hands-free mode. Despite knowing the danger of this behaviour (97.3%), they ignored the risks and committed such offenses. Hence, the need for education and enforcement are significant and relevant among university students to prevent such behaviours from growing.

Traffic Impact Assessment is a process to assess the traffic impacts generated from a proposed development so that proper mitigation measures can be proposed to reduce those impacts in order to maintain the road safety. TIA reports are used by the authorities, consultant and developers to make critical land use and planning decision on the feasibility of the development planning application with regard to the traffic and transportation issues. In practice, the lack of standardized procedure causes TIA reporting varies with the level of knowledge of the practitioners and the lack of cooperation resulted in the institutionalisation in major cities. This study developed an online checklist system to overcome those issues by reducing the fragmentation in the management of TIA report submissions. This system enables consultants and developers to fulfil the requirements of TIA report based on the gazetted guidelines with prerequisite checklist in the system and allows the authority to assess multiple report from different projects within the 14 days period. The system is verified with information success model and validated by expert panel using Delphi's method. The expert panel is satisfied with the system functionality in meeting their requirements to effectively manage the report submissions.

This descriptive study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of road safety among university students. The study was conducted among students in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia by means of questionnaire disseminated online via social media with shareable link to a Google form. The respondents were self-selected to participate in this study where their responses were self-administrated. Questionnaire consisted of 3 sections included demographic information, knowledge on road signs and road safety law, and road safety awareness. 371 students participated in this study, 66% of them age 23 to 27 years old, 61% were female, 92.5% of respondents have at least one type of license with majority agreed that occurrence of accidents resulted in an increase in road safety awareness. The study found that more than half of the participants could not recognise road sign like parking totally prohibited and speed limit ends here. While, 38% of them correctly identified posted speed limit for expressway. Overall, participants have fair understanding on road safety. Therefore, road safety programmes and education are still relevant to university students as young drivers on the road which is important to increase safety awareness.
