Introduction –The meaning of this presentation• In Japan, the number of traffic accident fatalities is 4,113 in 2014. It is
difficult to achieve the target of our government “Reduce the fatalities by
traffic accidents to less than 2,500 by the year 2018".
• Therefore additional vehicle safety measures are needed.
• Specifically,
– Motorcycles: In Japan, while the number of fatalities on four-wheel
vehicles has decreased by 52% from 10 years ago, the number of
fatalities on two-wheel vehicles* has decreased by only 38%.
Furthermore the number of fatalities per two-wheel vehicles is 4.7
times that of per four-wheel vehicles in 2013.
– Heavy duty vehicles: Many heavy duty vehicles cause critical
accidents on highways. The damages of accidents caused by heavy
duty vehicles are more serious than others.
• In terms of the above mentioned, MLIT published new national regulations
for mandatory fitting of ABS/CBS for motorcycles and LDWS for heavy
duty vehicles, in line with the technical requirements in UN regulations.
*Moped (type 1) are excluded.
