DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Road traffic accident is an incident related to vehicle traffic on public roads, resulting in fatalities or injuries. Road traffic accident fatalities include drivers and passengers of motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. A road traffic accident fatality is understood as a person who died as a results of injuries at the scene of the accident or within the course of 30 days.

Disaggregation

is by types of road users, age, sex and income groups.

Key statistical concepts

For the road safety model, if the country is considered by WHO to have good vital registration (VR) data, then a regression model is not applied to come up with an estimate. For countries with other sources of information on causes of death, then a negative binomial regression is used. For countries with population less than 150 000, regression estimates were not used. Finally, countries without eligible death registration data used a negative binomial regression.
