Designing the European Road Safety Observatory.
The unavailability of consistent traffic accident data and road safety information limits the opportunities to provide target approaches to reduce road crashes. The European commission has decided to meet the demand for this data by establishing a new Road Safety Observatory. The structure and much of the initial content is being developed within the SafetyNet Integrated Project. This paper describes the structure of its key components.
