Road Accident Analysis and Database System (MROADS)

A prerequisite for achieving safer roads is thru assessment of the current traffic situation and
identification of the associated factors. Therefore, availability of a comprehensive road accident
database is crucial for understanding the pattern of accident causation. As part of the Malaysia’s Road
Safety Plan 2006‐2010 strategy, a national road accident database system is crucially needed to provide
information and intelligence to guide in planning for road safety initiatives.
Understanding the needs, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) developed a system
called MIROS Road Accident Analysis and Database System (MROADS). The system serves as an
intelligence system to provide road safety stakeholders with accurate, continuous and comprehensive
information on road accidents. MROADS use input from the existing nationwide road accident data
collected by traffic police to generate analysis and findings.
