The key objectives of the project are three fold:

Objective 1: To identify, through research and case studies, road safety issues relating to heavy vehicles in selected APEC economies and the economic impacts on the supply chain of heavy vehicle crashes and also to identify any barriers that exist to improving safety. This will include, to the extent possible, any gender-related barriers and the collection of gender-disaggregated data.

Objective 2: To raise awareness of options to address road safety strategies relating to heavy vehicles, planning and funding approaches, and standards and technologies to improve safety and address variations in cross-border standards that impede the smooth flow of goods, services and people.

Objective 3: To develop and make available to all economies a compendium of road safety measures for heavy vehicles in the transport supply chain industry with a view to promoting best practice implementation approaches and alignment of standards as well as learning from success stories. The compendium will include measures to address driver fatigue, a Safety Code of Practice for Heavy Vehicles, and address issues relating to improving driver efficiency through a Professional Driver Training Program, initially for developing economies.
