Road Safety Data, Collection, Transfer and Analysis DaCoTa. Workpackage 3, Data Warehouse: Deliverable 3.5: Annual Statistical Report - 2011.

The CARE database brings together the disaggregate details of road accidents and casualties across Europe, by combining the national accident databases that are maintained by all EU member states. Access to the CARE database is restricted, however, so it is important that a comprehensive range of publications based on these data be accessible to the general public. This process was begun in the SafetyNet project that was carried out between 2004 and 2008, and the concept of the Annual Statistical Report (ASR) was developed. By 2008 one edition was being annually prepared and published. The Annual Statistical Report is a document consisting of a large number of Tables and Figures with data retrieved from the CARE database, which are not further analysed or commented. A Glossary with the definitions of the variables and values used in the Annual Statistical Report are included at the end of the report. Within the DaCoTA project, one of the Work Package 3 tasks (Task 3.6) has been to continue to develop this area of work. The older Annual Statistical Report 2008 was used as the basis, but more recent road accident data from the CARE database, for more countries, were used. The partners involved in this work are: KfV Kuratorium fur Versicherheit Austria, NTUA National Technical University of Athens Greece, TRL Transport Research Laboratory UK, SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research Netherlands, IFSTTAR Institut Français des Sciences et Technologies des Transports, de l'Aménagement et des Réseaux France, INTRAS Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety, University of Valencia Spain. The Annual Statistical Report 2011 provides the basic characteristics of road accidents in 26 member states of the European Union and Switzerland for the period 1999-2008, and more detailed data for the last available year, on the basis of data collected and processed in the CARE database, the Community Road Accident Database with disaggregate data. It consists in total of 56 Tables and 29 Figures with the most interesting combination of CARE road accident data on major road safety topics, giving the overall description of the road safety situation in the EU and the development of fatalities in the countries over time, monitoring trends using time series about fatal data from the decade 1999 — 2008, but also analysing data on fatalities and fatal accidents for different accident related attributes like time, area type, road network, mode of transport, etc. (Author/publisher
