VALUATION O F FATAL AND NON-FATAL INJURIES DUE TO MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS IN MALAYSIA

Policy makers often struggle with the question of what is the appropriate monetary

value to be associated with reduced fatalities. As a result, a disproportionate number

of road safety projects were abandoned in favor of other types of projects as they all

conlpetc for a limited amount of public funds. This is the motivation for carrying out

this research the main ob.jective of which is to evaluate of the value of statistical life

(VOSL) of fatal and non-fatal injuries among motorcyclists in Malaysia in an attempt

to overcome the lack of reliable estimates of accident.

The study utilizes extensively two surveys namely the valuation survey amongst

motorcyclists covering 6 constituents within the Seremban Municipality in the state

of Negeri Sembilan and the epidemiology survey of hospitalized non-fatal injuries

amongst injured motorcyclists at Seremban Hospital to develop the Injury Scale

Descriptor. Apart from using descriptive statistics, the inferential statistics have'been

utilised to test the reliability and stability on the estimated values.

Results rLom the valuation survey passed all the criteria of the construct validity

especially the critical scope test. Multiple regression analyses showed statistically

significant relationships between WTFt and vital variables of income, age, accident

experience and riding purpose. A unique variable of race was also found to be

significantly related to WTP.

Upon control for the effect of inter-country variation in income, the mean values of

statistical life (VOSL) have been found to be approximately RM1.1 million and

RM77,OOO per non-fatal injury. After considering GDP growth, the suggested

estimate to reflect the benefits 'of road safety in public policy analysis for year 2004

is RM1.3 million and RM92,400 for fatal and non-fatal injury respectively

This study recommends the need for further research on other cost elements to

complement the human cost in the effort to establish the comprehensive road

accident costs. Other valuation methods should also be conducted in similar

valuation studies to fortify the present human cost estimates. Finally, after the

successful estimate of intangible benefits (human cost) of road safety, it is strongly

recommended that research on other infrastructure investment benefits be

undertaken. Only then, can proper Cost Benefit Analysis method become the

instrument in evaluating Suture investments of transport infrastructures.

MENILAI KECEDERtlAN MAUT DAN TIDAK MAUT AKIBAT DARIPADA KEMALANGAN MOTOSIKAL D I MALAYSIA

Kejuruteraan

Perdebatan dengan persoalan berapakah nilai wang yang berpatutan boleh

dihubungkaitkan dengan pengurangan kemalangan maut tidak pernah berakhir.

Akibatnya, sebahagian besar daripada projek keselamatan jalanraya dibatalkan

kerana terpaksa memberi jalan kepada projek lain dalam persaingan memperolehi

peruntukan dana yang terhad. Fakta inilah yang memotivasikan perlaksanaan kajian

ini yang mempunyai objektif utama untuk menganggarkan nilai statistik hayat dan

kecederaan di kalangan penunggang motosikal dalam usaha mengatasi ketiadaan

anggaran kos kemalangan

Kajian ini telah melaksanakan dua tinjauan soalselidik iaitu soalselidik yang

ditadbirlcan di kalangan penunggang motorsikal sekitar enam mukim dalam

Perbandiiran Seremban, Negeri Sembilan dan soalselidik epidemiology mengenai

kecedewan (tidak melibatkan maut) di kalangan penunggang motorsikal yang

dimasukkan ke Hospital Serenlban untuk menghasilkan Skala Penerangan

Kecedesaan. Selain daripada mengunakan statistik deskiptif, statistik inferensi juga

digunakan untuk menguji kepercayaan dan kestabilan nilai yang dianggarkan.

Page 7: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA VALUATION OF …psasir.upm.edu.my/6160/1/FK_2006_75(1-24).pdfuniversiti putra malaysia valuation of fatal and non-fatal injuries due to motorcycle accidents

Keputusan-keputusan yang diperolehi daripada soalselidik pertama telah melepasi

seniua kriteria 'construct validity' terutama sekali ujian skop yang kritikal. Analisa

regressi pelbagai menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara WTP dengan

angkubah penting seperti pendapatan, umur, pengalaman kemalangan dan tujuan

menunggang. Satu angkul~ah unik iaitu bangsa turut didapati mempunyai hubungan

yang sigrlifikan dengan WTP.

Setelah mengawal kesan perbezaan pendapatan antara negara, kuantiti nilai min

statistik hayat seunit kemalangan rnaut yang diperolehi ialah sebanyak RM1.1 juta

dan manakala kuantiti nilai statistik hayat bagi seunit kecederaan RM77,OOO. Setelah

mengambil kira kenaikan GDP, anggaran yang dicadangkan bagi mencerminkan

faedah keselamatan jalanraya untuk tujuan analisa polisi awam pada tahun 2004

ialah Rh41.3 juta (satu kemalangan maut) dan RM92,4000 (satu kecederaan).

Kajian ini mencadangkan keperluan melaksanakan penyelidikan seterusnya atas.kos-

kos elemen yang lain suj7aya menjadi pelengkap kepada kos manusia dalam usaha

penentuan kos kemalangan jalanraya yang komprehensif, Kaedah penilaian yang lain

juga perlu dilaksanakan dalam kajian penilaian yang serupa untuk mengukuhkan lagi

anggaran kos manusia yang digunapakai dari kajian ini. Akhir sekali,

memandangkan faedah (yang tidak nampak) keselamatan jalanraya telah berjaya

dianggarkan, adalah dicadangkan dengan sesungguhnya kaedah Analisa Kos dan

Faedah menjadi kriteria menilai pelaburan infrasruktur pengangkutan pada masa

hadapan.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Praise be 'to Allah the most ~ e r c i f u l and Beneficent, without Whose bestowal of

strength, dedication and patience on me, this thesis would not have come to its

completion.

I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, Professor Ir. Dr. Radin Umar Radin Sohadi

for his guidance, encouragement, constructive criticisms and invaluable advices

throughout the course of this study. During the course of this study, I have learned

much from him especially from his wisdom and professionalism. I would like to

express my grateful thanks to my co-supervisors, Associate Professor Dr. Norghani

Md Nor and Associate Professor Ahmad Hariza Hashim, for advising, encouraging

and for being very understanding during the course of this study.

I am deeply indebted to Mr. Law Teik Hwa (UPM) for his patience and guidance in

the customization of MAAP 5. To Dr. Kulanthayan, who without fail addressed me

'Abang.' 14s friendship and valuable inputs in discussions have born fruits. I extend

my sincere thanks to both of you.

To my mother, Che Amah Bt Awang and late father, Mohd Yusoff Hj Kassim for

being very encouraging and persistently asking me 'Bila nak habis mengaji ni. '

Though not around to witness the result of his encouragement I pray to the Almighty

that he would be together with the faithfuls in 'Jannah.'

To Abang Athif, for being my lowest paid RA yet had to do numerous work

accompanying me during field works and data input during his short semester breaks

from UTM .

To Fadhli, Afif, and Fahmi for being patient, hard work and cooperative with Ummi

and Babah through their years of studies although the 'helping hand' is seldom

around;

To Kak Y:th, Aiman, Nana and young Hanis for entertaining me with your quarrels,

homeworks and loves. Truly, all of you have broken the monotony of my long years

of struggle;

But most of all 1 thank my wife, the closest and dearest partner in life, Ummi (Rahani

Mohd Z i d who without grouses, understanding, support, patiently put up with my

long 'absence' from home during the course of this study.

To all of hem, especially Mak and Ummi, I say terima kasih, jazakurnullah. May

Allah bless you all.
