1. Set of statistical indicators on the type of road traffic accident in Vietnam

According to Article 14 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA stipulating the types of road traffic accidents as follows:

- Vehicle colliding with vehicle: same direction, opposite direction, side impact on the right, side impact on the left, multi-vehicle collision.

- Vehicle colliding with a person.

- Vehicle colliding with other obstacles.

- Self-caused accident.

2. Group of statistical indicators on the progression and cause and condition of a road traffic accident in Vietnam

According to Article 15 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA stipulating the development and cause and condition of a road traffic accident as follows:

(1) Development of the road traffic accident.

(2) Cause and condition of the road traffic accident

- Due to human factors: pedestrian; driver of the road vehicle violating the regulations on road traffic rules or on the conditions for drivers participating in traffic; traffic controller; person managing or using road vehicles; person violating regulations on ensuring road traffic safety corridors;

- Due to road vehicles not ensuring technical safety or expired inspection;

- Due to damaged or substandard road infrastructure;

- Other causes and conditions (if any).

3. Group of statistical indicators on road traffic safety coefficients in Vietnam

According to Article 16 of Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA stipulating the road traffic safety coefficients in Vietnam as follows:

(1) Road traffic safety coefficients per 100,000 people: number of incidents, number of deaths, number of injuries due to traffic accidents per 100,000 people

- Number of traffic accidents per 100,000 people (abbreviated as HSDSV);

- Number of deaths per 100,000 people (abbreviated as HSDSC);

- Number of injuries per 100,000 people (abbreviated as HSDSBT).

(2) Road traffic safety coefficients per 10,000 vehicles (automobiles and motorcycles): number of incidents, number of deaths, number of injuries due to traffic accidents per 10,000 vehicles

- Number of traffic accidents per 10,000 vehicles (abbreviated as HSPTV);

- Number of deaths per 10,000 vehicles (abbreviated as HSPTC);

- Number of injuries per 10,000 vehicles (abbreviated as HSPTBT).

(3) Road traffic safety coefficients per 1 km of road: number of incidents, number of deaths, number of injuries due to traffic accidents per 1 km of road

- Number of traffic accidents per 1 km of road (abbreviated as "HSĐV");

- Number of deaths per 1 km of road (abbreviated as "HSĐC");

- Number of injuries per 1 km of road (abbreviated as "HSĐBT").

(4) Road traffic safety coefficients per 1,000,000 vehicle trips within 1 km of road: number of incidents, number of deaths, number of injuries due to traffic accidents per 1,000,000 vehicle trips within 1 km of road (for sections and routes where traffic volume can be calculated)

- Number of traffic accidents per 1,000,000 vehicle trips within 1 km of road (abbreviated as HSLLV);

- Number of deaths per 1,000,000 vehicle trips within 1 km of road (abbreviated as HSLLC);

- Number of injuries per 1,000,000 vehicle trips within 1 km of road (abbreviated as HSLLBT).

The formulas for calculating the above coefficients are stipulated in the Appendix issued together with Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA.

More details can be found in Circular 26/2024/TT-BCA which comes into force in Vietnam from August 15, 2024.
