Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research
The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) was established in 2007 as an agency under the
Ministry of Transport Malaysia to serve as a central repository of knowledge and information on road safety. The
findings derived from research and evidence- based intervention programmes provide the basis for the formulation
of new strategies, legislations, policies, and enforcement measures, governing road safety at the national level.
Principally engaged in research, MIROS collaborates closely with local and international government agencies
and private bodies to further the cause of road safety.
In 2014, the ASEAN Transport Ministers had appointed MIROS as the ASEAN Road Safety Centre. The aims
of this centre are to promote and provide knowledge on road safety issues among ASEAN Member States which
includes road traffic laws and regulations, data management, standards development, and road safety awareness
and education.
Vision • To emerge as the world leader in road safety research
Mission • To foster the science and arts of road safety interventions
