| Summary: | In many countries around the world,
deficiencies in data or data quality impair evidence-based
road safety policy making. While many countries collect road
safety data, the collection is not necessarily
comprehensive. Further, many countries can be unaware of
data gaps in their system, which prevents them from soundly
analyzing their road safety problems. Therefore, road safety
data definitions and collection methods must converge into
standard international criteria, thus allowing for
comparisons in space - across countries - and in time. This
is the raison d’etre of regional road safety observatories,
which have been developed, for example, in Latin America
(OISEVI), Africa (ARSO), and Asia-Pacific (APRSO). They
present an opportunity for joint regional efforts to
improve, in a harmonized way, road safety data collection
and analysis. Regional road safety observatories promote the
adoption of a common set of road safety indicators based on
common definitions and serve as an avenue to assist
countries in improving the management of their crash data systems. |
