Groups of statistical indicators on road traffic infrastructure in developing traffic accident database in Vietnam

To be specific, Article 11 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA has prescribed the groups of statistical indicator on road traffic infrastructure  in Vietnam as follows:

- Location of the traffic accident: determining km (if the road has km); house number (if there is no km and the house number can be determined); utility pole, traffic sign pole... name of the road; coordinates (longitude, latitude, if there is no km and house number or when there are sufficient conditions for determining coordinates, combining both coordinates and km, house number).

- Road network: expressway, national highway, provincial road, district road, communal road, urban road, specialized road.

- Road passing through: densely populated area, outside densely populated area, rural area, mountainous area, key economic area, and other areas.

- Road infrastructure

+ Road type: one-way road, two-way road, divided road with median strip; maximum allowable speed, minimum allowable speed of the road (if any);

+ Traffic signal: command of the traffic controller; traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, guard posts or protective walls, barriers; public lighting;

+ Road type: straight, curved, hill pass, tunnel, bridge, ferry, others;

+ Road surface type: concrete, asphalt, earth, stone, others;

+ Lane: road without lane division, road with one lane in the direction of travel, and road with multiple lanes in the direction of travel;

+ Road width: road section, road section in the direction of travel, lane measured in meters (m);

+ Road surface condition: flat, bumpy, dry, wet, slippery, muddy, flooded, under repair, others;

+ Traffic intersection: T-junction, Four-way intersection, Five-way intersection, Six-way or more intersection, roundabout, median strip opening, grade-separated intersection;

+ Condition of the road safety corridor.

Prescribing groups of statistical indicator on the course and cause, conditions occurring of road traffic accidents

- Course of the road traffic accident.

- Cause, conditions occurring of the road traffic accident

+ Due to human: pedestrians; drivers of road vehicles, violating regulations on road traffic rules or regulations on the conditions of the driver participating in traffic; road traffic controllers; managers, users of road vehicles; violators of regulations on ensuring the road traffic safety corridor;

(Article 15 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA)

Prescribing General Groups of statistical indicator on Traffic Accidents in Vietnam

- Number of accidents, number of deaths, number of injured people.

- Road traffic safety coefficients

+ Road traffic safety coefficient compared to 100,000 population (people);

+ Road traffic safety coefficient compared to 10,000 vehicles (cars and motorcycles);

+ Road traffic safety coefficient compared to 1 kilometer (km) of road.

(Article 6 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA)
