PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 1. Global Scope of the Problem 22 estimation: 1,2 million people killed 5 million people injured US$ 518 billion economic costs 1% - 2% of GDP 9% of deaths in low and middle-income countries 22 prediction: increase by 8%
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Ranking causes of the global burden od disease ROAD TRAFFIC INJURIES 199 9 th rank 22 3 rd rank (war - 8 th, HIV 1 th ) not only the responsibility of transport sector whole society has to be involved social and public health issue
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 2. Reliable Accident Data Key of Successful Road safety management Why data are needed? to know the scope of the porblem to evoke a public awareness to discover causes of crashes to explore ways to prevent crashes to develop measures to reduce severity of crashes
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Who needs the data? Users: politicians decision makers citizens responsible bodies professionals researchers
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 The scope of information depends on the level of their users: international national regional local comparison of safety level safety strategy safety programmes implementation
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Accident data parameters general information (location, time) consequences accident collision type road users (type, age, sex, seat belt use, alcohol influence, etc.) road characteristics (type, class, surface conditions, etc.) weather and traffic conditions (rain, snow, etc.) vehicle characteristics (type, age, etc.)
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Exposure data Needed for more objective international comparisons population (age pyramid) vehicle fleet (category) vehicle kilometres (road, vehicle type) driver population (category, age) fuel consumpion
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Basic data parameters accuracy complexity availability uniformity standardization
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Standardization on national level basically no problem (regional and local comply with national ones) but there exist different databases police road administration hospitals insurance companies agreement on national standard
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 They offer: 3. International Comparisons International comparisons of national road traffic accident numbers are vital important comparable picture about national accident situation position among other countries indication of urgency for international support information on development and progress better identification of weak areas in safety system diferences in safety level of users and roads
PIARC International Road Safety Seminar, Beijing, 18 th 2 th of October 25 Standardization on international level differences as colourfull as the world itself example: persons killed (, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 365 days) agreement on international standard definitions adapt or adopt international standards develope conversion coefficients Example of standardization : UNECE + EUROSTAT + ECMT agrement on GLOSSARY FOR TRANSPORT STATISTICS
