Road Safety data Sample Clauses

Road Safety data the need for more information on traffic injuries International comparisons of road safety are limited to data on fatal accidents and fatalities. However, these data are not representative of all road safety problems and also, of the impact of the accidents on citizen’s lives throughout serious injuries which in fact, can have a serious impact on their lives with considerable associated economic costs. The OECD/ITF recommends that “a complete picture of casualty totals from road accidents is needed to fully assess the consequences of road accidents and monitor progress”, as reported in the IRTAD report (1). To achieve this goal, accurate and complete data are essential. Nonetheless, it is well recognized that such information is rarely possible from a single data set, proved by a large work done in the field of record linkage, especially by public health researchers (2-16). Accident data collected by the police officers at the accident scene contain extensive information about the circumstances and location of the occurrence. These data allow safety researchers to analyze and investigate the accident characteristics to identify possible causes and posterior safety countermeasures. Despite that, limitations are found especially when people are injured in the accident (4). In fact, no single data set provides enough information to give a complete picture of road traffic injuries and to fully understand the underlying injury mechanisms. Recently the European Union (EU) Member States identified a common medically- based definition of serious injury to be used in road safety statistics. The new EU common definition is based on the Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale (MAIS). The MAIS derived from the Abbreviated Injury Scales (AIS), which is a severity score of a casualty with several injuries. On the other hand, the AIS can be derived from the commonly used International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. Therefore, the MAIS score allow assessing injury severity on the basis of a standardized medical indicator. A consensus has emerged over adoption of the MAIS equal or greater than three as the EU definition of serious road-accident injuries. To produce comparable statistics in line with this EU common definition, authorities in EU countries are advised to do one of the following: • bring together the relevant information from both police and hospital records • use only hospital records • use police records but make a correction for under-reporting In most co...
