Improving Transnational Transport Corridors
In the OIC Member Countries: Concepts and Cases

The same applies to intelligent transport systems (ITS). To capture traffic safety data, forms
are sent to the member states every six months and they reply on progresses made.
Table 17. Road deaths and injuries in 2014 in a selection of TRACECA countries
Source: SAFEGE (2016). Note: Figures are adjusted for definitions and under reporting for international
comparison 30 day deaths unless indicated otherwise a = 7 days, b = 1 year, c = unlimited time d= the calculation
in who global status report 2015 for converting Azerbaijan 7 day deaths to 30 day deaths is an error and
corrected figure should be 1461 as shown .
As visible fro the selection of TRACECA countries studied SAFEGE’s project report
thousands of people killed on the roads. The countries’ death tolls per 100 000 population
range from Ukraine’s 10.08 to Kyrgyzstan’s 21.99. As a comparison, Sweden’s corresponding
figure is 3. Ismayil (2017) mentions that Kazakhstan has made reasonable progress lately,
however from a bad starting point (19.36 dead per 100 000 citizens). Statistics for road
security has not been found.
Safety and security is also a crucial issue for maritime transport. In the TRACECA strategy,
there is an appendix on maritime safety, security and environmental protection but also in this
case, little is written about mitigating intentional and unlawful actions like smuggling and
terrorism.
A large share of the commodities moved along TRACECA is petroleum products and other
types of hazardous goods. Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is particularly dangerous and the
project Regulation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods along the TRACECA Corridor
(TRACECA, 2007) introduced an alternative, cost efficient, modern and safe transport scheme
for LPG transport along TRACECA. It also addressed dangerous good more generally and is a
good knowledge base for improving transport safety including the legal and institutional
framework.
