Establishing an Integrated Crash Database with Existing Data Systems for Traffic Safety Analysis Ms Ching-Huei Lai Chinese Taipei
Background • To study traffic crashes in more aspects & greater detail based on Haddon matrix structure. • e.g. violation crash • e.g. medical care crash • To have comparable data, e.g.: • fatalities ≦ 24 hr ≦ 30 days • injury severity: AIS/ISS Education Training EMS Injury prevention Social costs
Haddon matrix • Various sources Merge Valuable data
Hospital data Vital data Crash data Vehicle insurance data Violation data Goal • Police-reported crash Other sources
Link • Merge existing data systems • Use determinative linkage • Link at individual level • Use different identifiers • Negotiate across departments
Integrated Database Overview • Data year: 1999-2004
Results: Example 1 (1/2) • Reporting standard: • Chinese Taipei: 24 hr • Global: 30 days • Adjustment factor Comparable
Results: Example 1 (2/2) • Our factors are higher. • Compare fatalities on the same base. • Data sources: • Jacobs, G., Aeron-Thomas, A., Astrop, A., 2000. Estimating Global Road Fatalities. Transport Research Laboratory, TRL Report 445. • Japan National Police Agency, 2002. The Situation of Traffic Accidents Fatalities within 30 Days in Mid 2001. Japan. • Lai, Ching-Huei, Huang, Wei-Shin, Chang, Kai-Kuo, Jeng, Ming-Chang, Doong, Ji-Liang, 2006. Using data linkage to generate 30-day crash-fatality adjustment factors for Chinese Taipei. Accident Analysis and Prevention 38, 696-702.
Results: Example 2 (1/2) • Deaths ≦ 30 days • Including: • Pre-hospital • In hospital • ED cases • hospitalized
Results: Example 2 (2/2) • Fatality: a small piece of iceberg • 26% died pre-hospital • 42% died in ED • 32% died after hospitalized • Implication: EMS • pre-hospital, ED
Conclusions • Integrated crash database offers the opportunity to have cheap and effective data for research. • Future: extending to other data systems and research aspects in the Haddon matrix.
