 Vehicles with faulty brakes are a common cause for traffic crashes marked with “severe
injury”.
 Every vehicle is supposed to have a proper certification, given by the local transportation
agency, before going on the road.
Road Users
 The majority of traffic fatalities are registered among bus drivers and passengers (35%),
riders of motorised 2- or 3-wheelers (36%) and pedestrians (21%);
 Young people (10-24 yr.) and people of productive ages (25-50 yr.) account for a large
proportion of accidents.
Post-crash Response
 Indonesia does have multiple emergency telephone numbers and a few basic emergency care
centres at hospitals;
 The hospitals are only located in urban areas;
 The lowest level of emergency care is found in the rural areas, where most facilities are
community-based and provide only service for primary health care.
Road Safety Data
 Indonesia has a new data system named the IRSMS Accident Information System;
 IRSMS is designed to provide valid, reliable and verified data for road accidents in Indonesia;
 At present, data is collected by police filling in a notebook entry or a paper accident report
form at the accident site.
