The Honorary Treasurer-General, Mr. Richard Steel, tabled the
Finance Committee Report. The audited accounts for the financial
year ended 31 December 2012 and the management account were

RM301,963 or 85.7% of the budgeted income of RM352,200.
Receipts from the membership entrance and subscriptions were
RM179,976 or 62% of the budgeted income of RM290,500.

7.0 Coordinators’ Report of REAAA Strategy Map & Initiative 2010-2012 from:
7.1 Technical
Committee-
Australia
Mr Kieran Sharp, the Chairman of Technical Committee tabled the
report. Members are referred to the Agenda notes tabled at the
meeting.
18
7.1.1 Technical
Committee
ARRB Journal
Two papers have been accepted for publication in the next issue of the
REAAA Journal. It has also been decided to accept the three papers
originally submitted by the Thailand Chapter for the Compendium
Road Safety – Make it Happen but considered to be too long for a
compendium and also written as technical papers much more suited to
the REAAA Journal. Another paper submitted by the Indonesian
Chapter will also be considered.
The Technical Committee also considering several papers which were
originally submitted for publication in Road and Transport Research
but deemed to be perhaps more suitable for the REAAA Journal.
As usual, the long-term viability of the Journal continues to rest with
the ability of the various Chapters, and the Technical Sub-
Committees, to encourage greater patronage – in terms of paper
submissions – in their region
Technical Sub-Committees
The owners of the Technical Sub-Committees, or their
representatives, had prepared presentations on the current activities of
their committees. However, there was insufficient time to allow these
presentations to take place. The reports were provided in the Agenda
notes distributed to members.
Council agreed that the Chairman of the Technical Committee should
coordinate the compilation of the sub-committee reports and present
them as one report rather than as a series of separate reports.
The owners of Technical Sub-Committees were asked to check the
current membership and notify Kieran Sharp of any changes.
Compendium on Pavement Durability
The study on „Pavement Durability‟ has revealed, among other things,
that maintenance plays a vital role to ensure durable pavements.
Issues related to the maintenance of pavements will therefore be an
option in the Compendium, focusing on repair methods adopted by
road agencies in member countries. Another option will be those
related to the environment, which has been increasingly recognized as
important by road agencies as well as the pavement industry. This
theme will address recycling and/or the reuse of pavement materials
and warm asphalt pavements.
Compendium: Road Safety – Make it Happen
The compendium was distributed at the meeting. It will be sent to
members and upload on to the REAAA K-Hub.
Statistical Profile Data
Members were asked to check/update the statistical profile data and
advise REAAA Secretariat and Kieran Sharp of any changes.
Disaster Risk Management
Members were invited to send material related to „disaster risk
management‟to the REAAA Secretariat for lodgement on the
REAAA website.
Collaboration Between REAAA and PIARC
See Item 6.2.4 and Agenda notes.
The report was adopted as proposed by Dr Sung Hwan Kim and
seconded by Mr Men-Feng Wu
7.2 Enhance
Membership-
Indonesia
Members are referred to the Agenda notes.
The membership at 31st January 2013 was 1,773. Newly-elected
members since 1st August 2012 totalled 49. Council is targeting an
annual membership increase in each country of 10% (except Malaysia
which has a target of 5%). Each country is responsible for the drive
to meet the target. All member countries were particularly
encouraged to target Institutional Members.
19
The report was adopted as proposed by Mr. Richard Steel and
seconded by Mr. Gerard Waldron.
7.3 Enhance Revenue The report was presented by the Philippines Chapter. Members are
referred to the Agenda notes.
7.4 Leverage on ICT-
Malaysia
Madam Roznita reported that the objective of the REAAA K-Hub is
to develop REAAA‟s knowledge base through collaboration and
knowledge sharing for the benefit of members by leveraging on ICT.
The REAAA Website also served as an effective link among REAAA
members, as well as with other related institutions, associations and
organisations. It also enable to non-members and visitors to have
better understanding of the roles and functions of the Association.
Dato‟ Dennis suggested that those accessing the website should be
cautioned that REAAA is not responsible for any inaccuracies of
information, etc.
The report was adopted as proposed by Mr. Yamakawa and seconded
by Dato‟ Ir. Dr. Ashaari Mohamad.
7.5 Young
Professional /
Outreach
Program
The Young Professionals were asked to prepare a proposed
framework or program structure for Council‟s review and
endorsement. They will collect information from their respective
organisations regarding existing programs that may suit REAAA‟s
needs.
The report was adopted as proposed by Dato‟ Ir Haji Ismail
Md.Salleh and seconded by Dato‟ Ir. Han Joke Kwang.
8.0 Other Matters The President, on behalf of the Governing Council, extended his
sincere thanks to the Ministry of Public Works Malaysia, PWD
Malaysia, REAM and whoever contributed directly or indirectly to
the success of the meeting and the Conference.
Dato Sri Ir Dr Judin expressed his gratitude and appreciation to all his
Council colleagues for their unwavering support and friendship

Inflation to be steady in August, up in September
PETALING JAYA: Inflation is expected to pick up and be reflected in the consumer price index (CPI) from September onwards in the wake of the fuel price hike, economists said.
They said prices of consumer items should remain steady in August in the absence of seasonal factors. The Statistics Department would be releasing August CPI data tomorrow.
Economists in a survey expect the August CPI to increase a median 2% year-on-year, the same as July. The Government raised prices of both RON95 petrol and diesel by 20 sen to RM2.10 per litre and RM2 per litre respectively on Sept 1as part of moves to reduce fuel subsidies.
Economists expect that inflationary pressure would be reflected in the CPI in the coming months due to the September fuel price hike.
“We expect moderate cost pressure to continue in August before the uptick in inflation from September onwards,” AmResearch economist Patricia Oh said in a recent report. “The cost component of transport contributes 14.9% to the basket of CPI. With the petrol pump price increase, the transport index is likely to register an increase of 3.2% this year versus the year-to-date growth of 0.5%,” she explained.
AmReseach had tweaked its full-year 2013 assumption for inflation higher to 2.2%, compared with an earlier estimate of 2%.
RHB Investment Bank Bhd, which had also revised full-year CPI estimate for Malaysia to 2.2% from an earlier estimate of 2%, said the impact of fuel price hike on inflation was expected to be one-off and the pass-through effect was not likely to be strong. It expected Malaysia‟s CPI to jump to 3% in September (from its earlier forecast of 2.1%), and continue to trend up and reach a high of 3.5% in December before tapering off.

trade unions, parent-teacher associations and sports bodies.
The main functions of the department are to administer and enforce the Societies Act 1966,

Mr. Aram Kornsumbort
There are really two steps to implementing the strategic plan.
First is the recruitment of the CEO and EMT and restructure of the secretariat.
Second, which is the main subject of this paper is to charge the CEO, EMT and Council with implementing the Strategic Plan by delivering the 3-Year Action Plan attached.
Issues:
The Executive Task force was commissioned to progress the planning process and integrate the supporting actions.
The attached paper sets out the 3-year implementation plan:
To advance the development of expertise in road engineering and science in the region.
To foster the development of enduring relationships and cooperation between road engineering professionals across the region and worldwide.
To provide a pathway for road engineering practitioners to access the best and most up-to-date world-wide knowledge in road engineering and science.
To provide a vehicle for Heads of Road Authorities to share strategies which are grounded in
the expertise of road engineering and science professionals.
Recommendations):
Council directs the Executive Committee, under the leadership of the incoming president, to recruit the CEO before the next 97th REAAA Council Meeting.
Council endorses the plan summarised in Table 1 (Attachment 2) and charges the incoming council with its implementation.

REAAA Strategic Plan 3-year Implementation Plan (Narrative: 2012-2020 - What is behind Table 1)
Strategic Goal 1
To advance the development of expertise in road engineering and science in the region
With Technical Committee involvement offer a comprehensive package of support for professional development amongst members. This may include:
scholarships for international post-graduate study
financial support for participation in international technical committees
financial and logistical support for secondments
prizes and recognition for papers and presentations which meet various criteria
including technical excellence and the encouragement of less experience
practitioners.
workshops and dialogue with universities and industry
To progress this strategic goal we need to decide what we want to offer members, i.e. „REAAA offers its members……‟:
This offering needs to be built into two marketing packages: one for sponsors and
one for candidates and participating organisations.
The „back office‟ administrative and council processes include collating, banking and the disposing sponsor funds, the setting of judging criteria and judging panel governance arrangements
A reporting and marketing program need to be established and pressed into action.
How might this be programmed?
It is obvious that investing in the actual „back office‟ process development can wait until we have some sponsorship committed. Our priority, therefore, is to decide what we want to offer and use this as the basis for the marketing package developed. Starting slowly, we may be trying to decide if our first priority is a scholarship for international post-graduate study, which might cover university course fees, travel and accommodation, but require the employer to pay salary. Alternatively, we might decide that the priority should be for staff exchanges and that funds will be made available to support specific proposals, with the general criteria being that the institutions involved meet most costs (salaries in particular) with the sponsor‟s funds used to meet accommodation and travel only. Clearly there are many options and mixes to choose from.
A major part of the marketing to sponsors will be the coverage their support gets and perhaps the opportunities to meet with and develop relationships with Council and HORA members so the „what is in it for them‟ needs to be clearly articulated and of realisable value to them. Details such as the name of the support will require Council endorsement, e.g. the („Company Name‟) REAAA Fellowship or the REAAA („Company Name‟) Fellowship etc.
Page 4
77
In sketching out these details we are anticipating the business plan we expect from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Executive Management Team (EMT). Essentially the 3-year plan must point to broad actions and specific outcomes sought by the Council so, in progressing the goal of advancing the development of expertise in road engineering and science in the region, our strategy is to „offer a comprehensive package of support for professional development amongst members‟.
Our objectives (outcomes) and actions are as follows:
Year I
To have the first REAAA Fellow on the ground pursuing his/her international study/experience.
Actions:
Supporting actions are for the EMT and CEO to:
analyse the opportunity and decide the most prospective area for achieving this outcome
develop the marketing package
sell the package to both a sponsor and fund coordinator
establish judging criteria and obtain council approval for the first Fellow.
Year 2
To expand the REAAA Fellowship program to its potential within the region.
Actions:
conduct further research into the opportunities for a Fellowship
build up a portfolio of sponsors, hosts and candidates
consolidate rules, procedures and financial and administrative arrangements into a robust accountable operation.
Year 3
To expand the REAAA Fellowship program into increasingly international and research
focussed activities and ensure that each member country has a Fellow at least once every 3 years.
Actions:
develop opportunities for regional involvement in PIARC (WRA) and similar initiatives
continue and expand the marketing of the Fellowship program so that there is international recognition for the REAAA role.
Page 5
78
Strategic Goal 2
To foster the development of enduring relationships and cooperation between road engineering professionals across the region and worldwide Most professionals agree that relationships flourish when we work together in attaining a common goal.
While the relationships amongst Council members are well established they would be strengthened further if members adopted the role, for example, of assessing and deciding the
awards of REAAA Fellowships. The first target, in terms of relationship development, is the
Young Professionals group. This can be expanded later but it is important to consolidate close to
home first by:
mobilising the REAAA young professionals to adopt the posture of a management team
reporting to a CEO and Board (the Governing Council) with responsibility for developing and
presenting the business plan for REAAA for Council approval
actively seeking/encouraging opportunities for secondments of younger professionals to work in other member organisations and to actively participate in the technical committees of WRA, IRF et al.
reactivating interchange program initiated by PIARC, networking, certification standards and other cooperative activities. Cooperation Committee to be considered as implementer of the strategy.
Council members would also be expected to use their personal contacts and influence to obtain
and maintain the corporate and institutional support for the fellowship program. This would ensure that REAAA achieves heightened awareness amongst key industry stakeholders targeted for sponsorship recruitment.
The young professionals are particularly important in this goal. Their role as an executive management team (EMT) provides opportunity for close cooperative working relationships across organisations and countries and the active pursuit of opportunities to exchange staff between member organisations. This will pay dividends in terms of improving understanding and communication while obviously contributing to the professional development of the participants.
Objective and Actions
Year 1
Actions:
Council to assess and award the first Fellowship
Council members to commence individually soliciting Fellowship sponsors.
EMT to establish its terms of reference (TOR) for approval by Council and as a basis for
its own operation.
Year Action:
CEO and EMT to develop its sponsor and participant engagement plan for Council approval. Council and CEO/EMT to actively market the plan.
Year 3 Page 6
79
Action:
CEO and EMT to extend the reach of the engagement plan to include international bodies such as WRA and universities.
Page 7
80
Strategic Goal 3
To provide a pathway for road engineering practitioners to access the best and most up-to-date world-wide knowledge in road engineering and science
Actions:
Use REAAA role/relationship in other associations (WRA, etc.) to obtain access to sources and provide direct access to members.
Encourage REAAA members world-wide to provide open access to their own sources.
Provide a knowledge management function in the secretariat to assist/guide members, negotiate knowledge sharing and access arrangements with third parties and to proactively inform members including considering developing REAAA K-Hub‟s link to be able to access PIARC and IRF K-Hub at non-commercial price.
Council has acknowledged that REAAA does not itself create new knowledge, as it neither
commissions nor conducts any research. However, REAAA is ideally placed to promote and
assist in the sharing of knowledge generated by members and other associations/affiliates.
The world is littered with the remnants of failed attempts at establishing sustainable knowledge databases for industry and other sectors. Each starts with a flurry of enthusiasm and investment, but ultimately relies on the producer of new knowledge uploading their outputs in the particular formats and protocols demanded by the central database. This activity is seldom funded or required by the research investor, consultant or contractor. As a result, not only is it then reliant on individual commitment, but also it is subject to gaining permission for its use (copyright laws, etc.).
In short, REAAA recognises that creating another database is not the solution. REAAA‟s solution is to use its influence and connections to obtain access for its members to knowledge held in individual member organisations as well as the collective repositories of associates/affiliates.
Objective and Actions
Year 1
Make a start and provide some immediate benefit to members. Actions:
CEO and EMT to immediately assess opportunities and develop a plan for progressively increasing member access to knowledge.
Consolidate access already within member entitlement and provide a simple-to-use portal for members.
Year 2
Get the members on board
Actions:
Identify members who have knowledge in searchable format.
Develop an agreement and protocols for access likely to meet general member requirements.
Negotiate specific arrangements with individual members and add this access to the member portal.
Year 3
Page 8
81
Extend the list of resources available:
Actions:
identify non-member bodies which have knowledge of value to members.
negotiate arrangements for member access.
Page 9
82
Strategic Goal 4
To provide a vehicle for Heads of Road Authorities to share strategies which are grounded in the expertise of road engineering and science professionals
(Recognising REAAA has responsibility not only for professional development but also in the environmental sustainability including economy, social, safety and aesthetic related to road development to promote and develop sustainable road development in the region).
Actions:
With the expectation that member countries employ learnings from REAAA sources, to
inform policy and support programs in their own countries, use HORA meetings to create
knowledge sharing between countries at government/political level, and hasten the uptake of
the best policies across the region.
Use REAAA resources to locate and promote best practice examples proactively and in
response to individual country/agency needs including
exchange in policy and experience in the field of public/private partnership such as in toll
road and networking between road authorities, concessionaries and contractors.
Year 1
Actions:
Council reviews the operation of the Technical Committee and charges it with identifying and ranking themes according to their regional impact.
Year 2
Actions:
Technical Committee advises Council of the most outstanding valuable examples of best practice.
Council decides the theme for the next HORA meeting and commissions a paper(s) and presenter(s) for the HORA planning process.
Year 3
Actions:
Based on the performance of the first „best practice‟ HORA, Council confirms process for future HORA meetings.

Permission is being sought from PIARC to publish this paper.
10. Survey of Pavement Condition Data Collection in the Region, Prepared under the auspices of REAAA Technical Sub-Committee TC-4 (Asset Management).
In addition, we are expecting a paper currently being prepared by Mr Yusaku Oono from Japan addressing the development of the Mongolian standard for „low volume roads‟ which is expected to be submitted around the end of September.
There is now enough material to publish an edition of the Journal. However, there is still a great deal of work to be conducted regarding the editing of some of these papers prior to their publication. The anticipated date for the submission of the next edition of the Journal for publication is the end of 2013.
Issues for REAAA Governing Council
It has taken almost two years to collect enough material to justify the preparation of another issue of the REAAA Journal and most of these papers were not directly submitted for publication but rather accessed directly from other sources; some papers were not formally reviewed except internally within ARRB.
There are currently no new papers being reviewed – two or three papers were submitted from Iran and India but they were not considered relevant. This situation is untenable: members are entitled to expect at least one issue of the Journal each year and advertisers need some certainty if they are going to support the Journal; they cannot be expected to pay for advertising space not knowing when, or even if, the next edition

of the Journal will be published. The Journal has not received the level of support from the Technical Sub-Committees as originally envisaged or promised.
The other issue is that I no longer have the time to manage the Journal (processing papers, sending to referees, etc.). Whilst I am happy to continue in the role of Editor of the Journal, to assist in the assignment of referees, and to conduct a technical edit of all accepted papers, the „management‟ tasks will have to be undertaken by the REAAA Secretariat if the Journal is to continue as a viable product.
It is suggested that REAAA Governing Council considers the long-term viability of the REAAA Journal, with ne option being to discontinue it. If the Journal is to continue then:
each REAAA Technical Sub-Committee will need to meet their commitment to submit at least one paper each year for publication
each Technical Sub-Committee will need to be responsible for the review of all papers in their appropriate discipline (ideally, the paper would not be submitted for publication until after it has been reviewed
the REAAA Secretariat will need to take over the overall management of the Journal (processing, sending to referees, etc.).
ACTION: Council to note the likely content of the next edition of the REAAA Journal, to be finalised by the end of 2013.
ACTION: Council to discuss the future of the REAAA Journal, noting the commitments that will need to be made if it is to continue or, alternatively, agreeing to discontinuing it.
Compendium: Road Safety – Make it Happen
This Compendium is available from the REAAA website (specifically the K-Hub) though the initial listing only mentioned the other Compendia and this needs to be updated. However, there is some concern that this Compendium is not being distributed as widely as it could be. Part of the issue is, of course, the fact that the Compendium is only available from the „members only‟ section of the REAAA website. This is deliberate as a means of encouraging new membership. In this case, however, there appears to be wide interest in this document and also the potential to distribute it to members of relevant PIARC Committees.
Currently, additional hard copies of any document need to be requested through the REAAA Secretariat and the documents are then mailed to the recipient. This is a time-consuming procedure. It is suggested that, in this case – and in order to promote REAAA more globally – Council members and members of REAAA Technical Sub-Committees (especially the members of TC-5) be allowed to download the document and e-mail it to selected experts in this field, including the members of the relevant PIARC Committee. It is also suggested that authors of compendia should have access to their document using this method and be permitted to send it to their key contacts.
As a matter of principle, it is further suggested that members of relevant PIARC Committees also be given access to relevant documents. It is considered that such an actions will assist in raising the profile of REAAA, both inside and outside the region.
The only issue is whether this facility (viz. downloading a report from the K-Hub) is currently available and advice is sought.
ACTION: Council to endorse the proposal that members of REAAA Technical Sub-Committees be allowed to download relevant Compendia and e-mail it to selected experts in their field, including members of relevant PIARC Committee.
ACTION: REAAA Secretariat to advise if the facility to download compendia from the K-Hub is currently available and what actions would have to be undertaken to make it available.
Compendium: Pavement Durability
Progress in the preparation of this Compendium is presented in the report on the activities of Technical Sub-Committee TC-2 (Pavements).

PIARC & REAAA Joint Seminar
Ir Djoko Murjanto will be reporting on this Seminar under Item 6.2.
Invitation to Contribute to PIARC Routes/Roads in 2014
Mr Jun Sik Ko, Technical Advisor of PIARC, and responsible for promoting cooperation between REAAA and PIARC recently contacted the members of the Advisory Group for the Compendium Road Safety – Make it Happen seeking contributions on the general topic of „road safety‟ for a special edition of Routes/Roads, to be published in July 2014. This was in follow-up to the discussions in Kuala Lumpur in March 2013.
PIARC are looking for one paper from each country which focusses on the implementation of the national road safety policies rather than on the presentation of technical measures (e.g. case studies). These papers could address targets set by a country (e.g. reducing the road toll), or institutional arrangements, or the strategy adopted for some specific group of road users (e.g. bicycles or motor cycles) and the results obtained. The maximum number of words per paper is 2000, or about three or four 3 to 4 pages. The papers are to be written in English.
Mr Ko asked that a short draft, maximum 200 words, outlining the direction and main content of the proposed article be sent to him by 22
nd September 2013. He proposed that the response be discussed at the REAAA
Council meeting in Manila.
Mr Ko was happy for his e-mail to be forwarded to experts who may be interested in contributing. He also suggested that, if anyone did not have time to prepare an abstract, then he was happy to be informed of any intentions to prepare an article and also the topic of the proposed article.
The e-mail from Mr Jun Sik Ko was forwarded to all members of REAAA Sub-Committee TC-5 on 4 September for their attention.
ACTION: Members of Sub-Committee TC-5 and Working Group on Compendium on „Road Safety – Make it Happen‟ to respond to Jun Sik Ko‟s e-mail by 23 September.
ACTION: Members to engage with other relevant experts in this field for input as desired.
ACTION: Discussions to take place at the Council meeting regarding input from REAAA to 2014 edition of PIARC Routes/Roads.
5.1.4 Technical Sub-Committees
The goals, definitions and updated membership of the Technical Sub-Committees are presented in Attachment 2 whilst progress reports on the activities of the committees since the last meeting in Kuala Lumpur in March 2013 are presented in Attachment 3.
Lack of time will prevent any formal presentations apart from Mr Torii‟s presentation under TC-2.
Members were asked to provide input strategic initiatives in support of the Strategic Plan for 2013-2017, viz. a list of possible issues seen as important and which could reasonably be addressed by REAAA going forward. Response to date has been poor. Members of Sub-Committees are asked to respond to the request for input of possible strategic initiatives to support of the Strategic Plan for 2013-2017

TC-3: ROAD FURNITURE – MR ANGELICO M TWANO (PHILIPPINES)
Since the last meeting, Sub-Committee TC-3 asked its members to provide information on regulatory traffic signs used in the various countries. Responses have to date been received form Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. These are attached as Attachment 4.
TC-4: ASSET MANAGEMENT – MR KIERAN SHARP (AUSTRALIA)
There has been little activity in the reporting period.
The report tabled at the last meeting on the use of pavement condition monitoring equipment will be published in the next issue of the REAAA Journal.
Members were asked to provide input strategic initiatives in support of the Strategic Plan for 2013-2017, viz. a list of possible issues which you see as important and which could reasonably be addressed by REAAA going forward. Mr Shigeru Shimeno from Japan responded that, since an accident in a tunnel on an expressway in Japan in 2012, the Government has been trying to refine maintenance systems for bridges. He noted that PIARC also launched a special project „Importance of maintenance‟ in June. Inspection is one of the important elements in maintenance and a subject needing to be refined. The inspection methods and technologies seems to be of common interest among REAAA countries. He suggested that, as a follow-up to the pavement condition survey conducted in 2012 (and to be reported in the next issue of the REAAA Journal), a survey could be conducted of inspection(survey) methods and technologies for pavement and bridges currently adopted in the region.
No other responses have been received.

TC-5: ROAD SAFETY – DR A HERMANTO DARDAK (INDONESIA)
No report to date (10th September 2013).
TC-6: GREEN TECHNOLOGIES – MR LIM CHONG TEIK, MR YAP BOON LEONG AND MR YAP CHENG CHWEE (SINGAPORE)
The key activity for TC-6 was the compilation of information from each member on EACH country's policies, practices and application in 'Green Technologies in Roads' following the questionnaire that was sent out in September 2011. Two reminders have been sent out to members since then but, so far, no other responses have been received.
To date, replies have been received from Australia, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore and the summary of responses is attached in Attachment 5. As reported earlier, based on the four responses received, the adoption of green technology in this region is progressing at different stages among member countries.
Based on the responses received, Japan is the more advanced in terms of the adoption of green technologies as it has the „Green Procurement Law‟ which is applicable for public works projects. For example, the adoption of green technology is given priority in the procurement of materials and the selection of construction methods. Japan has adopted various technologies such as semi-hot pavement, anti-noise pavement, recycled gravel, refuse incineration ash cement and many more under its Green Technologies initiatives.
In Australia, green technology initiatives include the use of existing material through in situ stabilisation, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt production and trials of warm asphalt.
Singapore is still at the beginning in terms of the adoption of green technologies. Recycled materials such as RAP and steel slag are allowed in asphalt production while recycled aggregates, incineration bottom ash and recycled concrete aggregate are allowed to be used as road subbase and base material. The warm mix asphalt trial is ongoing and its performance is currently being assessed.
In Indonesia, the focus is mainly on the use of indigenous materials that are readily and locally available. These include buton natural asphalt in cold and warm mix applications and the Vertifer system for slope erosion control.
In view of the fact that only four responses to the questionnaire have been received to date. As a result, Committee TC-6 requires more time to gather more information and engage member countries in relation to green technologies.
TC-7: PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS – DATO’ IR HAJI ISMAIL B. MD. SALLEH (MALAYSIA)
Activities Since 95th Governing Council Meeting
The questionnaire regarding experiences and practices with public-private partnerships was sent to all members of TC-7 on 23rd January 2013; a reminder was sent on 3rd July 2013. Feedback
has so far been received from Japan, Philippines and Malaysia; it has yet to received from Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
As one of the strategies is to identify and examine each countries‟ policies, plans, initiatives and performance of PPP, feedback from the other countries is required before a report can be compiled.
After receiving feedback from all the countries, the TC-7 Working Committee is tentatively planning to conduct a workshop at the next Council meeting in Bali in April 2014 (subject to approval by the Host Country).
TC-7: BRIDGES – MR RICHARD STEEL (NEW ZEALAND)
No report to date (10th September 2013).

Attachment 4
Responses to TC-3 (Road Furniture) Survey on Traffic Signs and Signals
MALAYSIA
Types of Road Furniture
A. Road Signs
1. Regulatory
The choice of „BERHENTI‟ or „BERI LALUAN‟ is made based on the sight distance restrictions for vehicles on the minor road to make a safe entry or crossing the major priority road (Ref. A, p. 10).
3. Warning
Junction warning signs are only placed where the nature, importance or location of a junction is not obvious to an approaching driver (Ref. A, p. 14).
4. Guide Signs/Information Sign
Guide signs which consist of directional signs and information signs such as road name signs, distance, route number markers, tourist attractions/recreational areas signs and general services signs are used to inform and advice road users of directions and available facilities (Ref. A, p. 19 & 26).
5. Signs for Freeways and Expressway
Advanced direction signs are used in advance of a junction to indicate destinations along each route branching off from the junction (Ref. A, p. 20).
6. Special Instruction Signs
Expect for signs erected along major highways and all „BERHENTI‟ signs, which use high intensity retro-reflective sheeting, the minimum requirement for traffic signs in Malaysia are a material known as engineering grade retro-reflective sheeting (Ref. B, p. 12).
7. Hazard Markers
Hazard signs are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of existing or potentially hazardous conditions on, or adjacent to, a highway (Ref. B, p. 15).
8. Guide Post and Delineators
When designing a directional signing scheme, the first step is to identify and differentiate between the local destinations and the through destinations. Local destinations are used only for signs within the particular locality. Through destinations are the major towns/destinations that can be reached via the particular route (Ref. A, p. 19).
B. PAVEMENT MARKINGS
1. Longitudinal Lines
Longitudinal lines shall consist of either unbroken lines or a combination of both marked in the direction of travel (Ref. C, p. 3).
2. Traverse Line
Traverse lines are marked across the road and are generally associated with intersection or junction controls, or traffic signals or crosswalks (Ref. C, p. 6).
3. Other Markings
Other marking is included words and symbol messages, arrows, painted islands and chevron marking, paved shoulder markings, yellow boxes, kerb markings and transverse yellow bars (Ref. C, p. 7).
4. Message and Symbols
These are words, numerals and symbols that guide, warn or regulate drivers. They should be elongated in the direction of traffic movement in order to be legible at maximum distance. Legibility distance can be increased by enlarging the length of characters (Ref. C, p. 7).
117
5. Object Markings
These are painted at intersections and entrances to approved public building to indicate a prohibition of parking or waiting (Ref. C, p. 9).
6. Raised Pavement Markings
Raised pavement markings (RPM), also known as road studs or cats eyes, are devices that are installed on road pavement surface to provide warning and guidance to drivers (Ref. C, p. 11).
C. Traffic Signals and Traffic Control Devices
Traffic signals comprised of pre-time (fixed time), fully actuated and semi-actuated types of control. Pre-time control provides a single programme of a series of predetermined constant signal indication in recurring cycles. Fully actuated control uses vehicle detector loops on all approaches to allocate the time based on traffic volume (demand) within the pre-set minimum and maximum greens. Semi-actuated isolated signals have detection on some or all movements except the mainline. Other traffic control devices include road studs, delineator posts, and traffic warning signs such as chevron arrows and signboards provide information to road users (Ref. D & E).
D. Highway Lighting and Lighting for other Street
Outdoor lighting has a crucial role to play in the safety and security of our streets and public places. Today outdoor lighting has to be smarter to comply with new legislation, environmental challenges and requirements to reduce energy usage. This is where the latest outdoor solutions from GE Lighting come into play (Ref. F).
E. Road Safety Barriers
Highway guardrails are safety devices manufactured from high strength steel sheets to the typical "W" profile and mounted on "C" Channel post spaced at either two (2) or four (4) meters apart (Ref. G).
F. Boundary Fencing
Fences between neighbouring lands should be located on the boundary but many aren‟t precise. This doesn‟t change the ownership of the land and doesn‟t matter if both you and the neighbour can accept it. There is no legal requirement for a fence to be erected between neighbouring lands (Ref. H).
G. Public Lavatories
Most public toilets in malls and shopping complexes have improved vastly. Unfortunately, this isn‟t the case for toilets in more open areas like “mamak” stalls, and general use toilets. It may have to do with apathy, people caring less when it isn‟t actually their own toilets (Ref. I).
H. Channelizing Devices
The design and applications of traffic control devices used in temporary traffic control zones are described in this chapter. A traffic control device is a sign, signal, marking or other device placed on or adjacent to a street or highway (by authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction), to regulate, warn, or guide traffic. Specific crashworthy information on devices described in this chapter can be found in the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide (Ref. J).
I. Common Practices and Design Consideration
Follow Malaysian Standards and Guidelines.
J. Issues and Concerns:
1. Maintenance of Road Furniture
Proper maintenance of road furniture needs to be done to ensure efficient transport system and to promote safety to road users.
2. Uniformity and Standardization in the Design
With the uniformity and standardization in the design of road furniture, it is expected the road users to interpret uniformly and act accordingly.
3. Adaption of Road Signs and other Traffic Control Devices
Currently, some of the road signs and traffic control devices need to be replaced and upgraded to follow the latest Malaysian standards and guidelines.
118
4. Source of Funds/Cost
The Government (States, Local Authorities and Federal) and from the toll roads operators / concessionaire companies.
ACTION TAKEN/COUNTERMEASURES
Regularly and periodic checking to the road furniture should be done and any damages or deficiencies detected or reasonable complaint raised by the road users should be addressed and replaced or rectified when necessarily or immediately.

SINGAPORE
Traffic signs help to guide the safe and orderly movement of traffic. They serve many uses such as:
providing directions
giving instructions that road users must observe
alerting road users of potential hazards which are not self-evident
indicating facilities and tourist attractions in the vicinity.
The LTA standardizes the designs and locations of traffic signs so that they can be read and understood at a glance. It is also important to limit the number of traffic signs along the road. Too many signs will confuse motorists and distract them when they are driving. Hence, traffic signs should be placed only where necessary.
Classification of Traffic Signs
1. Mandatory signs: they are compulsory signs. It is an offence to disobey them. Examples include:
2. Prohibitory signs: they provide information on the prohibitions. Failure to comply with these signs constitute an offence. Examples include:
122
3. Warning signs: These signs warn of possible danger or unusual conditions ahead: take extra care, slow down as you approach these signs. Examples include:
4. Regulatory signs: provide useful information to motorists. Examples include:
5. Information signs: these signs regulate the movement of traffic. Examples include:
123
6. Directional signs: these signs provide information on the road that you are approaching. Examples include:
7. Other signs: they consists of different signs such as pedestrian crossing signs and facility signs, which users should heed and/or obey. Examples include:
(a) Pedestrian Signs
(b) Traffic Signs for Tunnels
124
(c) Traffic Signs for Pedal Cycles
(d) Expressway Monitoring and Advisory Systems (EMAS)
(e) Facility Signs

98th REAAA Council Meeting, 4th Young Professional Meeting
Manila Hotel, Philippines 26-28 September 2013
3rd Young Professional / Outreach Meeting Report
Introduction 3rd REAAA Young Professional (YP) Meeting was held during 14th REAAA Conference in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Kuala Lumpur on 27th March 2013. It was the 3rd meeting for YP since the establishment for Young Professional Outreach program has been initiated by REAAA Council. The meeting has been organized by YP Malaysia since the absent of YP Coordinator, Mrs. Christina Chin from Australia Road Research Board (ARRB). Since the meeting is been held in conjunction of 14th REAAA Conference, it has been attended by many young professional from the conference‟s participant country such as Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. Attendees 3rd YP meeting recorded increasing numbers of participant. From the list of attendance, there were 42 YP had attended the meeting. Some of the attendees were new to the YP program. Since the absent of Mrs. Christina Chin, the chair person cum organizing host is being rotated between the membership country. For the 3rd YP Meeting in Malaysia, the chairman of the meeting was Ir. Hamzah Hashim from Public Works Department (PWD) of Malaysia. Engr Ng Chee Keong also from PWD Malaysia had become the secretary of the meeting. Besides YP, the meeting also has had the honor to have Mr Gerald Waldron from ARRB. Mr Gerald Waldron is the mentor for the YP Program. Dr. Yoo Kyung Soo, honorable past president of REAAA also attended the meeting together with Dr. Sung Hwan Kim, the Chairman of REAAA Korean Chapter. Meeting Agenda The meeting had discussed 2 important things that are 3 Years Implementation Plan On REAAA Strategic Plan and YP Term of Reference. REAAA Strategic Plan Gerald Waldron presented the YP the 3 years implementation plan on REAAA Strategic Plan. The REAAA Council had planned to have a significant change in implementation of the strategic plan in order for REAAA to work more effectively and achieves its vision and mission. He also shared the decisions made by the REAAA Council during previous 95th Council Meeting that are :-
- Adopt the 4 Strategic Goals - Restructure Secretariat by hiring a CEO so that REAAA could operates as a company. - Appoint YP as Executive Management Training (EMT) - Charge CEO and EMT with Business Planning Development.
The idea of having CEO and EMT raised a lot of questions and opinion among YP. One of the questions been asked was the criteria to become CEO of REAAA. YP also wanted to know how they can be appointed as EMT. However, Gerald Waldron mentioned that the plan is going to be presented in the 98th REAAA Council Meeting for endorsement. YP also would like to have this program to become a complete organization structure like REAAA Council. As for now, Gerald Waldron and Christina Chin had been appointed as mentor and coordinator. YP realized that members keep changing from previous meeting to another meeting, which made it difficult to focus on the objectives and implementation of the program. YP also want the program to become the platform of technology sharing and basis of business opportunities
168
among members. Other response from YP was to have linkages to other organization such as PIARC and International Road Federation (IRF). Gerald Waldron summarized the topic by mentioning that the success of YP will very much depend on YP initiatives in proposing their contribution to the REAAA overall. Nevertheless, YP is the future leader of REAAA that the program could have the YP an exposure to be involve in the international organization. YP Term of Reference The chairman of the meeting had led the discussion of completing the Term of Reference for YP. YP suggested that incentives are to be given for YP to submit papers and attending the REAAA Conference or journal. This is much as encouragement to the YP to participate and contribute the experience through technical paper and to the benefit of REAAA. Currently, Katahira Awards became the main incentives provided by REAAA. This award will value the technical papers based on certain criteria and number of award recipient can be enlarge based on the situation. YP also would want the program to recognize YP qualification through different industries based on the education background. YP also would want the REAAA K-Portal to be used as communication portal among members. YP had also proposed that there will be a session of information sharing in the next meeting. The chairman proposed that the agenda shall be included in the next meeting. Proposal / Recommendations. YP proposed that there should be a representative of YP in the REAAA Council. As for now, Gerald Waldron and Christina Chin are the main representatives of YP in the council. YP also proposed that the program should be more holistic as the other agenda besides technical such as sports, games, social event that would stir up the YP contribution towards REAAA. Programs should be more self-development of self-motivation for YP in order to make them interested. YP also had proposed that there should be a permanent member in YP in order to have a continuity of the program. By having said that, age should not be a factor in determining the membership of YP. Last but not least, YP agreed to become EMT in order to serve REAAA. However, YP would want the REAAA Council to consider their welfare and benefit for them so that EMT would be an interesting place to be in REAAA organization. Special Event Mr Chuang Kuang Hong from Construction Industry and Development Board of Malaysia (CIDB) had the liberty to share 2 of training programs organized by them. The programs of Certified Construction Project Manager (CCPM) training and Traffic Management Officer (TMO) training are two interesting program that YP could attend under CIDB.

TERMS OF REFERENCE
1. Background
The Young Professional Outreach Program was formed at the 90th REAAA Governing Council Meeting held in Kuala Lumpur in March 2010, as part of the REAAA Strategy Map and Initiatives 2010-2012. The main aim of this program is to:
represent and provide a voice for young professionals and to encourage a culture of innovation, integrity and a pursuit of excellence.
In line with the Strategic Map, representatives were nominated from each member country to participate in the Young Professional Program. No restriction was placed on the number of young professionals (YPs) nominated. The only criteria were that the YPs had to be below the age of 40 and have an engineering background. The first Young Professional meeting was held in conjunction with the 94th Governing Council Meeting in Bangkok, April 2012. The meeting was chaired by the Program Coordinator, Ms Christina Chin in Australia. Fifteen young engineers from nine countries attended as well as the Vice President, Mr Gerard Waldron (Australia) and the Secretary General, Dato‟ Hamizan Inzan (Malaysia) and fifteen astute young engineers.
1.1. Outcomes from the First Meeting
The main outcome of the meeting was that it was considered that a Terms of Reference (ToR) for the YP Program was developed which was in line with REAAA‟s strategic plan and objectives. In order to have a better appreciation of this brief, the 15 engineers agreed to interview various Council members from their respective countries to use their experience and knowledge. 2. Issues Identified
Following is a summary of the key issues identified from the interviewing process.
2.1. Defined scope
It is essential for the Young Professionals develop a defined scope and/ or ToR, to be endorsed by the Council. 2.2. Acting body for the Council
The main output and plans of the Council can be delivered by an acting body, and this could be the Young Professional Program.
170
2.3. Capitalising on the strengths of the REAAA Governing Council
It was recognised that the very senior representation on Council has proven to be its most enduring strength and ability to regularly organise Heads of Road Authority (HORA) meetings was a further evidence of individual and collective influence. The YPs, with their fresh ideas and innovation, should seize this opportunity to capitalise on the experience, networks and strengths of the Council. 2.4. Professional development and leadership
There is an excellent opportunity for career development and the opportunity to work with world-class experts throughout the regions. The YPs need to be active ambassadors for REAAA to encourage greater membership. This will open new opportunities and widen networks. 2.5. Lack of resources
There is a lack of financial and logistical support for REAAA activities. For example, there is no formal and/ or specific allocation of employee time to REAAA activities. Members often struggle to meet the demands of REAAA when their first commitments have to be their day jobs.
3. YP’s Response to REAAA Strategic Goals and Strategies
REAAA‟s vision is to be “the most effective regional organisation providing members with technology interchange, transfer and services to promote a better future in road related engineering”. The following table presents the YP‟s response to REAAA‟s strategic goals and strategies, it forms the ToR for the YP Program.

Mr. Hermanto DARDAK
Vice‐Minister for Public Works Republic of Indonesia Chairman of REAAA
PIARC/ REAAA Collaboration
By E‐mail: [email protected]
Dear Mr DARDAK,
it was a great pleasure for me meeting you again since the REAAA meting in Bali. I wish once again to congratulate you for taking the chairmanship of REAAA, I am confident you will give a good momentum to the activities of REAAA.
Your tight schedule in Kuala Lumpur didn’t allow us to have a face‐to–face discussion in relation to the enhancement of the collaboration between PIARC and REAAA. I am then following‐up after the meeting on some matters for your consideration.
Special issue of Routes/Roads I was pleased you accepted the offer I presented in KL to dedicate one issue of PIARC magazine Routes/Roads to a set of papers prepared by REAAA countries as we did it a few years ago on road management. I have noted you decision to select road safety as the theme for this issue. This appears very topical with the UN Decade of action.
Regarding the timing for the preparation and publication of this issue, the best would be to have all texts available for the REAAA meeting you are planning to host in Indonesia in the first semester of 2014. Publication could then be in the July 2014 issue of our magazine. We can’t publish it earlier as the editoiral content of the April issue is already fixed and can’t be shifted.
We will contact Kerian Sharp in order to organize the definition of the content of this issue but I would welcome the indications you would like to give us for other persons to involve in this project.
180
Joint seminars and workshops As I indicated it in KL, PIARC wants to take opportunity of its program of international seminars and workshops held in the region to strengthen the collaboration with REAAA in order to achieve a better outreach of these events and have a larger audiance benefitting from knowledge sharing on these occasions.
Sponsoring has no financial implication for REAAA, we are looking for REAAA’s support in disseminating information among its members and encouraging presentations from REAAA countries and participation.
I wish to thank you for the support you have expressed on short notice to the International Workshop PIARC Technical Committee 1.5 on Risk Management prepared in Osaka a few weeks ago. The presentation made by your Director General Mr. Djoko Murjanto, and the participation of a number of representatives from different REAAA countries were indeed highly appreciated and contributed to the success of this event as indicated by the satisfaction survey we have carried out. This was a good example we wish to reproduce for the coming events.
For now, we are considering to hold the foloowing seminars in REAAAs countries: ‐ In September 2013 in Da Nang, on Road Tunnels operations; ‐ in September 2014 in Bangkok, on Road Safety (subject to confirmation); ‐ in November 2014 in KL, Malaysia, on Management of water for road infrastructure
and climate change.
For your information we will also organize three international seminars in P.R. China in 2014, on:
‐ Road pavements; ‐ Management of emergency situations and road operations; ‐ Long bridges.
Although PIARC technical committees have now determined most locations for their meetings and seminars till the coming World Road Congress in Seoul in 2015, there are still a few possibilities to arrange an international seminar in REAAA countries in particular regarding: road transport system economics and social development, mobility in urban areas, rural roads. I would warmly welcome offers to host such international seminars. I wish however to mention that these seminar should be scheduled now in the second half of 2014 (because of the World road Congress in Seoul, it will not be possible for our Technical Committees o meet tice in Asia in 2015). This means that decisions should be taken now very soon in order to have enough time for preparation of these seminars.
Collaboration between PIARC Technical Committees and REAAA Thematic groups During the previous REAAA mandate, REAAA selected two topic areas for collaboration: Road network operations and Road Pavements. For reasons I won’t recall, no collaboration has taken place to date. As suggested during the meeting in KL, direct ways of communication will be explored wih the assistance of Kieran Sharp to ensure two‐ways exchanges of information on the current works and outputs.
181
However in the area of Road Pavements at least I wish a more organized form of collaboration can be set up so that the reports which will be produced by PIARC TC for the congress in Seoul reflect the situation and approaches in REAAA countries. As we don’t have much time left, I wish decisions can be made soon. World Road Congress, Seoul 2015
The coming XXVth World Road Congress in November 2015 will be a unique opportunity to shed light on issues of the role of roads and road transport in Asian countries. Some sessions might have a regional focus and some side sessions and events addressing topics af particular interest to REAAA countries might be organized on t his occasion.
I’ll soon review the issues of logistics and preparation of the congress with the Korean Organizing Committee and in mid‐2014 within PIARC we should have decided on the main features of the program of the congress. Hence I would very much appreciate if you could send me, before the end of 2013, your suggestions of topic s and side events PIARC and Korea might be considering in order to ensure a broad participation from REAAA members and ensure the program will meet the areas of interest of REAAA members.
I hope that these different suggestions will attract your attention and we can very soon proceed on these projects. I would also welcome any other suggestion you would like to make to promote concrete collaboration between our two organizations.
I’ll be happy to provide clarification or additional information. Unfortunately it is most likely I will not be able to attend the REAAA meeting in Manilla this coming September because of other commitments but I’ll come to Indonesia in 2014.
Looking froward to reading you at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Jean‐François Corté Secretary general c.c. REAAA secretariat, K. Sharp, Jun‐Sik Ko, Oscar de Buen, J‐M Philippeau

Agenda Item 6.0:Other Business
6.3 Conferences/Seminars for Endorsement by REAAA
6.3.1 International Symposium on Low Volume Roads
ARRB Group, in association with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, is hosting a Low Volume Roads Symposium, to be held in Cairns, Queensland, from 25-27 November 2013. The theme of the Symposium is Communities on the move, which highlights the integral role that low volume roads play in the life of rural and remote communities.
The unique characteristics of low-volume roads can often challenge conventional engineering practice in terms of pavement and materials engineering, geometric design and road safety and asset management practice. The aim of this Symposium is to explore ways to improve low volume road management, operations and construction and to highlight the technical expertise within Australia and overseas regarding the management of low volume roads.
The program will include two keynote presentations, two plenary sessions addressing the topics „Optimising local materials and technology use‟ and „Key knowledge gaps and research needs‟, two open forums addressing the general topic of „Working smarter: how can we manage low volume roads better?‟ (from both the asset management and materials management viewpoint), and about 50 presentations on the following general themes: appropriate standards, planning and investment, innovations in construction and materials technology, road safety, geometric design, accessibility and unsealed roads. Speakers from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, South Africa, India, Malaysia and Thailand will be represented.
