Overview
Background & policy context:
The adequate supply of road accident and injury records on a European scale is perceived to be important for the selection, implementation and evaluation of road safety measures. Preventive technical and organisational action, as well as adjustments to existing legislation and its extension, will only be practical at the EU level if standardised databases can be made available - both for road accident causation and the connected crash injuries. The ultimate goal of such a standardisation would be to provide a harmonised European crash injury database.
Objectives:
STAIRS aimed to propose a framework for the harmonisation of detailed European road accident and injury databases.
The main objectives of STAIRS were to:
- produce recommendations for:
- the specification of the core data,
- data collection methods and procedures,
- data quality assurance,
- validation of harmonisation protocols,
- confidentiality of data and ethical issues;
- identify steps for the implementation of a harmonised database.
