The Impact of Speed in Road Accidents

• Up to 100% for IHLs and not-for-profits (plus 30% indirect costs);
• 70% for Singapore-based SMEs/startups;
• 50% for LLEs;
• 30% for non-Singapore entities based in Singapore.

Open to all R&D organisations in Singapore including IHLs, not-for-profit research institutions, public sector agencies, private companies, and company-affiliated research entities.

Lead PI and Co-PI must reside in Singapore for at least 9 months/year.

International collaborators allowed, but all work must be done in Singapore unless approved by LTA.

Proposals must include data collection, behavioural studies, modelling, surveys, and international benchmarking.

Evidence-based speed management strategies tailored to Singapore’s ageing population and urban context.

Projects must address:

1. Relationship between speed and injury severity;
2. Speed and accident rates;
3. Speed and driver reaction times by age group;
4. International benchmarking of speed policies and safety correlations.

• Evaluation based on scientific merit, feasibility, impact, scalability, and team competency.
• Proposals with trials/pilots and scale-up plans preferred.
• Cash/in-kind contributions and multi-disciplinary teams encouraged. Funding is milestone-based.
• Non-fundable items and proposal guidelines available on the Urban Mobility Innovation (UMI) Initiative page on the Land Transport Innovation Portal (LTIP).
