Better Crash Data can improve road safety

Overview

Better Crash Data can improve road safety

Low- and middle- income countries typically lack adequate systems for collecting road crash data. This limits their capacity to monitor, effectively advocate for, manage and efficiently improve road safety.

While many cities, states, and countries have adopted or developed proprietary systems for recording crash data, they are often developed in isolation, limiting the ability to share data among users. These systems may also be expensive—and unable to support road safety delivery and advocacy. They usually lack a seamless, global, real time, and georeferenced crash repository: a basis for monitoring the scale of the challenge.

The Data for Road Incident Visualization Evaluation and Reporting—DRIVER—a data collection system developed and now operating in the Philippines, answers this challenge, and offers an effective road safety support solution several innovative features.
