WP 5 – Independent Accident and Injury Database
D5.1 Fatal data methodology development report
At present, there are some 50,000 fatally injured road users each year throughout the 25 EU Member States. A core element of the EC road safety strategy includes a reduction of fatalities by 50% by the year 2010. Central to this strategy is the requirement for good quality in-depth accident data. Such data are seen as a fundamental pre-requisite for the formulation and monitoring of road safety policy in the EU. This document is a methodology development report detailing the task of setting up a fatal accident data collection routine in the seven EU partner countries. The report details how the task will work with existing infrastructure to develop a broad ranging, intermediate level, fatal accident database, and how the data is predominantly being derived from the police records of fatal accident investigations. The document describes the fields of data that will be recorded for each case to provide a description of the whole crash. The report also indicates how the data variables have been determined and how a database for storage of the information has been developed.

D5.2 In-depth accident causation data study methodology development report
A recent analysis conducted by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC 2001) identified that no single accident database could meet all of the needs and that there were major gaps including in-depth accident and injury causation. This document is a methodology development report detailing the task of setting up an accident causation data collection routine across six EU partner countries. The report details how the task will work with existing accident investigation networks to develop an in-depth accident causation database, using a combination of on scene and retrospective methods, including interviews, scene and vehicle inspections. The document describes the type of data that will be recorded and analysed for each case to provide a description of the whole crash. The report also indicates how the data variables have been determined and how a database for storage of the information has been developed.

D5.3 Review of the fatal accident pilot study (brief report on methodological developments)
At present, there are some 50,000 fatally injured road users each year throughout the 25 EU Member States. A core element of the EC road safety strategy includes a reduction of fatalities by 50% by the year 2010. Central to this strategy is the requirement for good quality in-depth accident data. Such data are seen as a fundamental pre-requisite for the formulation and monitoring of road safety policy in the EU. This document details the progress of the task of setting up a fatal accident data collection routine in the seven EU partner countries. The report describes the outcome from the pilot phase of the project to give an up to date explanation of any changes from the original scope of the work as previously described in D5.1.
