Initial conceptual matrix on the development of Road Safety Assessment Tool (RSAT) for new road project

There is an absence of self-assessment tools to determine the level of safety at the design stage of road projects in Malaysia. This paper is presented with the intention to develop the road safety assessment tool by determining the level of safety for new road design project. For this study, the co...
