Building the European Road Safety Observatory. SafetyNet. Deliverable 5.10: Review of the methodologies used to develop the fatal accident and accident causation databases
In July 2008, Work Package 5 (WP5) distributed a questionnaire to the
broader SafetyNet partnership, with the aim of consulting on the investigation
techniques and data gathering methods used in the creation of two European
accident databases, SafetyNet Fatal Accident Database and SafetyNet
Accident Causation Database.
The questionnaire contained 11 questions which addressed the importance of
collecting in-depth data, its potential usefulness, and the suitability of the
methods used in addressing the aims of the study. For those unfamiliar with
WP5, each question was preceded by a short explanatory text. In addition to
answering the questions, respondents were invited to make additional
comments explaining or elaborating on their opinion.
The questionnaire was returned by 20 people from a range of institutes within
the partnership.
The majority of the work completed in work package 5 was judged to be
appropriate for the type of study being conducted. The feedback received
through the questionnaire responses and associated remarks generally
supported the methodologies and working practices. This reflects the
feedback received from the workshop which was held in June 2008 (D5.9
