Conclusions

Basics of CARE

Member states establish statistics on road accidents resulting in death or injuriesin their territories - no damage only accidents

Basics of CARE

high level of disaggregation

- detailed data on individual accidentas collected by Member states

Basics of CARE

Maximum flexibility, potential and new possibilities for analysing the information in the system

„Homogenisation“ of Member states datas

Confidential datas blanked

History of CARE

1988 - 1993 feasibility study for creation of CARE database

CARE - Conclusions

- CARE data base has been developed to a useful tool for EU-15-countries

- Integration in larger Road Safety Strategy context

- Homogenisation still ongoing

- Include new member states

CARE - Conclusions

- Advisable:National Reporting on Road accidents should fulfill the requirements for CARE

- Data Base should be used for national and local purposes

CARE - Conclusions

- --> More attention to better Road Safety e.g. European Road Safety Charter Legislation Infrastructure Education Campaigning …..
