D1.15 Estimation real number of road accident casualties
The objective of Task 1.5 of the SafetyNet IP has been to estimate the actual numbers of road accident casualties in Europe from the CARE database by addressing two issues:
- the under-reporting in national accident databases and
- the differences between countries of the definitions used to classify injury severity.
In order to overcome the inconsistencies in the reporting of non-fatal casualties, this Task has:
- estimated the under-reporting level for non-fatal casualties by developing a uniform methodology and applying it in several EU countries,
- estimated the number of serious casualties per country according to a new common measurement unit.
This report documents the results that have been achieved.
D1.15 Estimation real number of road accident casualties
D1.3 First Progress Report of Work Package 1
This deliverable describes the progress of Task 1.0 of WP1, one of the seven SafetyNet Work Packages, conducted within the project during the first 18 months. WP1 aims at the enhancement and exploitation of the CARE accident data, by making CARE system a reference point for road safety analysis in Europe. This will be achieved through compatibility improvement of accident data from the new member states, development of appropriate statistical outputs based on CARE data, establishment of a common accident data collection set and methodology and estimation of the real number of road accident casualties.
Information on WP1 management and technical coordination are presented in this report, which consolidates all outputs of the WP1 Tasks. Moreover, lists of WP1 partnership, deliverables, milestones and meetings are provided for the first 18 months, as well as an overview of the plans for the next 12 months (second phase) in each Task. These plans mainly consist of assisting new member states to make their national accident data compatible with the CARE system, prepare a set of aggregate data files, propose a common accident collection set and respective methodology, elaborate national underreporting coefficients and common definition for hospitalized person.
D1.4 Intermediate Progress Report on 'Development of statistical reports and analysis notes'
This deliverable describes the progress of Task 1.3, which deals with further development and exploitation of the CARE system, by developing new statistical outputs based on retrieved and processed CARE accident data.
This report consolidates all Task 1.3 results with emphasis on the description of both Tasks deliverables for the first 18 months of the project, the two versions of the Annual Statistical Reports and the two versions of the Basic Fact Sheets (5 for 2004 and 7 for 2005). Methodology for selecting accident variables and values used, difficulties confronted during the preparation of these statistical reports and respective solutions identified are recorded, whereas plans considered for the development of their next versions are presented. Additionally, a brief description of the Aggregated Data Files set, which is planned to be developed within the next months.
Finally, information on Task management and technical coordination are presented in this report.
D1.5 Intermediate Progress Report on 'Improvement of accident data compatibility throughout Europe'
This deliverable describes the progress of Task 1.4 on the improvement of compatibility of road accident data throughout Europe by implementing the wish often repeated over the years for a common framework for road accident data collection among all EU countries. This will allow a comprehensive set of end products to be produced progressively, based on compatible statistics from all EU-25 member states.
The report consolidates all outputs of Task 1.4 focusing on the examination of national accident collection systems throughout Europe. The results of the analysis of the relevant questionnaire developed to collect information about the national accident collection forms, methodologies and data definitions in all EU countries are presented. Additionally, information collected by the grid, developed and filled-in by experts in eight countries, in order to define the common needs of the main stakeholders for road accident data, is processed.
Moreover, a list of Task 1.4 meetings and relevant brief description of the issues treated, as well as the plans and milestones for the next 12 months of the project are described. Finally, information on the overall management and technical coordination of Task 1.4 is provided.
D1.6 Intermediate Progress Report on 'Estimation of the real number of road accident casualties'
This deliverable describes the progress of Task 1.5 on the estimation of the actual numbers of road accident casualties in Europe from the CARE database by addressing two important issues: the under-reporting in national accident databases and the differences between countries of the definitions used to classify injury severity.
This report consolidates all outputs with emphasis on both the bibliography review on underreporting and on the methodology adopted to be used in the national studies. These studies are carried out in eight EU countries, aiming at identifying underreporting level and develop appropriate correction coefficients. The relevant up-to-date progress of these national studies in each country is provided, followed by information on management and coordination issues.
Finally, a list and brief description of underreporting studies provided by the Task partners, dealing with the techniques of linking databases of accident and medical records and additionally, a list of references concerning ‘capture-recapture’ techniques that were considered during the development of the common methodology are presented.
