Where possible we have used published statistics so the choice of countries is limited to those with adequate data systems . The countries studied fall into a number of groups: industrialised and motorised countries, e.g. Australia, New Zealand and Japan; industrialising countries with large populations spread over many island groups, e.g. Indonesia and the Philippines; the smaller countries with more industry and motor vehicles, e .g. Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong; and finally the small island nations of the Pacific , e.g. Papua New Guinea and Fiji. China falls into a category of its own, with only sparse data being available. | | Publisher | Road Accident Research Unit | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Conference Name | International Road Safety Conference | | Conference Location | Singapore | | Conference Date | August 1990 | | Page Count | 10 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
