**Responsibilities**:
Background:
The objective of this project is, to strengthen national capacity to reduce motorcycle traffic fatalities and injuries in the ASEAN member countries. The rate of road fatalities in the South-East Asia region is one of the highest in the world at 20.7 per 100,000 population, with riders of powered two and three wheelers accounting for the majority of the fatalities. Globally, powered two and three wheelers represent 29% of all deaths and in the Asia Pacific region, this figure increases to 39%. Alarmingly, in South-East Asia, this figure surges dramatically to 62% of all deaths, and in some countries in the region such as Thailand and Indonesia, rider fatalities can be as high as 74%.

Motorcyclists are vulnerable due to the lack of protection as compared to car occupants. Due to this lack of protection, it is vital to focus efforts on crash avoidance technologies in order to increase motorcyclist safety. One of the most effective motorcycle safety technologies available to date is motorcycle anti-lock braking system (ABS). Research has shown that motorcycle ABS can increase rider stability, reduce stopping distances, and decrease rider fatalities by 31%.

Target 5 sets an ambitious goal of:
By 2030, 100% of new (defined as produced, sold or imported) and used vehicles meet high quality safety standards, such as the recommended priority UN regulations, Global Technical Regulations, or equivalent recognized national performance requirements.

One of these priority regulations is UN Regulation 78/ UN Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 3 for Motorcycle ABS. The safety of a vehicle can be a function of the vehicle safety regulations of the producing country. While the UN World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) provides a legal framework for a range of vehicle safety standards for UN member states to adopt voluntarily, many countries do not. The lack of universal adoption of the minimum standards creates a loophole in which manufacturers can produce and sell sub-standard vehicles in countries that have not applied the standards, typically in low
- and middle-income countries.

The work of the consultant should also be conducted in close coordination with the Government of Malaysia and the Government of Viet Nam.

Qualifications/special skills
Advanced university degree in Engineering is required.

Expertise in the area of Engineer certification and research for motorcycle brake systems, e.g. ABS. is required.
