INSTRUCTION:
T This CASE STUDY requires you and your team to come up with a case study regarding Topic 8 & 9
(CLO2,PLO3). You will work in a team, with minimum 4 MEMBERS and each person contributing equally
to the research, and reporting of your case study. Below are the details:

Traffic aaccidents have become a major problem facing the road users in the recent years, according to the
statistics from the Royal Malaysia Police in Malaysia there were recorded 548,598 accidents by the year 2019.
CLO2, Accidents not only affect the mobility but also contribute to air pollution and slow down economic growth. As
C5, an engineer, you played an important role in conducting a research, analysis problems and proposed an
PLO3 engineering solutions to control the problem. Therefore, as a group;

TASK 1 : Identify any place at Malaysia that have this risk. You must support the data with any
statistic you can get from any sources/department/statistic/online news (C2 ; DP1 Depth of Knowledge
Required; DP4:Familarity of issue)

TASK 2 :Collect the data of the road in term of engineering design of the road, classification by JKR to
describe the characteristics, functions and road system that related to the problem(C3; DP2 Extensive Practical
Knowledge)

TASK 3: Evaluate the issue or problems arising with the road accident (human, road condition and vehicle
problem) ( C4; DP3 : Depth of Analysis).

TASK 4 : Individually, propose a design for the new road as a solution to overcome the problem; especially
by using traffic management technique (complete with procedure and picture and labelling). (C5;
DK5:Engineering Design)
i. The suggestion MUST include highway maintenance technique.
ii. The suggestion can also include esthetical, operation and maintenance, local and authority,
alignment design, parking design, travel demand design, traffic sign and marking,
enforcement and laws and etc
iii. Make sure you support your ideas with facts and figures. You may also carry out a field
survey.

TASK 5: Report Findings : A report is a systematic, well organized document which defines and
analyses a subject or problem, and which may include: (refer format report for case study)

TASK 6: Present your report. Demonstrate confidence and organized formal presentation with
accurate use of technical vocabulary in group or individual. (refer presentation rubric : CLO3 ; A3)
