Statistics

Road safety statistics may be obtained from a number of sources. The World Health Organization uses vital statistic registration data from participating countries, whereas some other bodies use police or transport data. Some useful multi-country databases include:

• WHO Statistical Information System (WHOSIS)
• International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD)
• Community Road Accident Database (CARE)
• The World Bank - Health, Nutrition and Population database

Some examples of country level databases include:

• The Fatal Accident Reporting System, USA
• Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System, USA
