1 George Yannis European Transport Safety Council, www.etsc.be Learning from each other Road accident data in the enlarged European Union

2 Best in Europe George Yannis Road Safety Distribution across Europe Member states below EU- 15 average risk Old Member states above EU-15 average risk New Member state above EU-15 average risk Non Member states

3 Best in Europe George Yannis Objectives Investigation of the current situation in the 25 countries of the European Union regarding road safety Evaluation of the existing methods for accident data collection and analysis Identification of problem areas regarding road accident data Proposition of guidelines for improving road accident data and investigation The ultimate goal is to allow all Member States to learn from each other

13 Best in Europe George Yannis Data quality The questionnaire focused on: 1.road accident data collection system 2.road accident data quality 3.exposure data 4.road accident data analysis The questionnaire was answered by:

14 Best in Europe George Yannis 1) Data collection systems Road accident data are collected by the Police. Road accident databases are mainly maintained by the Police, Ministries and Statistical Services. Data regarding damage only accidents are collected by the Police and/or insurance companies. In most of the EU 15, data are collected at local/regional level (not systematically). Most New Member States do not maintain accident databases at local level.

15 Best in Europe George Yannis 2) Data quality Underreporting of accidents (missing records and missing data elements of accidents) Underreporting has not been thoroughly investigated Data unreliability on crucial road safety factors (alcotest results, use of helmet/seat belt, speed) Different definitions used in most of the European countries for serious and slight injuries

16 Best in Europe George Yannis 3) Exposure data Inconsistencies or failure to collect exposure data (especially vehicle-kilometres and person-kilometres) Vehicle-and person-kilometres data could be collected by using both the traffic counts system and national travel surveys. Collecting good quality data on exposure is expensive Collecting exposure data leads to better policy making

17 Best in Europe George Yannis 4) Data analysis Road accident data analysis carried out by the competent Statistics Authority, Ministries, Research Institutes and the Police Lack of direct access to user-based information from disaggregate road accident data files Implementation of appropriate safety measures does not always follow road accident analysis Improving road safety rarely has the highest priority in the transport planning process

18 Best in Europe George Yannis Recommendations on data collection 1/2 1.Regular review of the design and operation of the national data collection system 2.Better training of people involved in the task 3.Collection of data on damage-only accidents 4.Common system for recording road accident data among EU countries 5.Use of electronic systems in the data collection process

19 Best in Europe George Yannis Recommendations on data collection 2/2 6.Introduction of in-vehicle "black box" devices 7.Use of GPS systems for recording the location of the accidents 8.Harmonisation of the accident collection forms in the EU countries 9.Collection of good quality exposure data 10.Collection of exposure data by qualified institutions, using a uniform methodology 11.Regular studies on underreporting

20 Best in Europe George Yannis Recommendations on use of data 12.Road safety policy to be firmly based on evidence 13.Systematic assessment of the effectiveness of road safety measures 14.Increase of the number of professional analysts 15.Wider access to national accident databases 16.Comparison of the risks of road travel modes with the risks of non-road modes

21 Best in Europe George Yannis Conclusion I only trust those statistics which I have falsified myself. W. Churchill
